I wanted to share this excellent magazine article with you (but in brief). UK forum members might already be familiar with this article. Apologies, if I am not allowed to do this (if not I will remove it).

3. IT IMPROVES YOUR BODYSHAPE
4. IT AIDS MEMORY
5. IT HELPS YOU QUIT SMOKING
6. IT BOOSTS YOUR CONFIDENCE
7. IT INCREASES FLEXIBILITY
8. IT ENHANCES CREATIVITY
9. IT COMBATS CANCER
10. IT MAKES YOU STRONG
11. IT AIDS SLEEP
12. IT CALMS ANXIETY
13. IT HELPS YOU CREATE A GOOD FIRST IMPRESSION (you are more likely to be seen as hard working with self control)
14. IT GETS YOU BACK TO NATURE (for those who love outdoor sports)
15. IT MOTIVATES YOU
16. IT CHEERS YOU UP
17. IT MAKES YOU FIT FOR LIFE

26. IT IMPROVES BALANCE

28. IT HELPS KEEP YOU REGULAR
29. IT COMBATS DEPRESSION
30. IT LETS YOU EXPRESS YOURSELF
31. IT REGULATES APPETITE
32. IT BEATS THE WINTER BLUES
33. IT IMPROVES CO-ORDINATION
34. IT IS A FORM OF PAIN RELEIF (for women with fibromyalgia)
35. IT AIDS YOUR BRAIN ( a workout is often the easiest way to get clarity, when you can't think straight)
36. IT BURNS CALORIES
37. IT STRENGTHENS YOUR HEART
38. IT RAISES YOUR METABOLISM

43. IT MAINTAINS WEIGHT LOSS
44. IT IMPROVES CONCENTRATION
45. IT RELIEVES BACK PAIN
46. IT BOOSTS YOUR IQ
47. IT MAKES YOU FEEL GOOD

Many Thanks
