The less obvious benefits of exercise

Related to yesterday's post, about working out with a partner or "gym buddy," this article from Monday's New York Times, entitled "To Keep Moving, Look Beyond the Physical," discusses the added, and less obvious, benefits of exercise. The article focuses primarily on exercise as an opportunity to build rewarding relationships with new or current friends, but also mentions improved sleep and reduced stress as additional benefits of physical activity. If the health benefits of exercise aren't enough to motivate you to start working out, let yourself be inspired by the chance to have a good time with a friend.
