Exercise is an investment in your body, health and life, not a cost to you in time and energy. According to the Mayo Clinic regular exercise, approved by your doctor, can,

• Help control your weight, which if you have too much for too long can increase your risk of heart disease, diabetes, stroke, depression, arthritis and cancer.
• Improve your mood because physical activity stimulates chemicals in the brain that can make you feel happier and more relaxed.
• Boost your energy level and endurance.
• Promote better sleep because regular physical activity can lower stress levels, help you fall asleep faster and deepen your sleep.
• Exercise can be fun and allow you to meet new people (and potential clients). Whether you join a gym, engage in a sport or some kind of physical activity (gardening, hiking, dance) you can switch up your networking environments.

If you can fall into a bad habit (not exercising), you can also fall into a good habit (exercising). Here are three suggestions from Inc. Magazine about making exercise a habit.
