Greater and Freer circulation.Regular exercise helps to make blood vessels more elastic and less obstructed with fat, permitting freer circulation and lowering blood pressure.
Strengthens lung capacity.Cardiovascular exercise strengthen lungs, enlarging their capacity to absorb oxygen and expel waste products.
Promotes a musculature system that is strong, firm defined and efficient. Adults who add muscle through sensible strength/resistance training use more calories all day long, so they are less likely to accumulate fat.

Promotes leanness. A more fit individual actually burns off more calories, even while resting, than the non-fit.
Improved body composition. LESS FAT: A more fit body is a less fat body because aerobic conditioning uses up excess fat for energy.
