Well here is another reason that you need to exercise. I found this on Yahoo, Dr. Mao Secrets to Longevity. He stated the following statement in a list of ways to increase your life span.
Boost Your "Youth Hormones"
You don't need pills to flood your body with a rejuvenating flood of growth hormones. Research has found that doing squats and leg presses will greatly increase your natural production of the "youth hormone". Increased growth hormone translates to an elevated mood, among other physical benefits. Keep it up with weight training, knee bends, push-ups, and rowing.
I have to say that I agree with this statement. Have you ever noticed that if you spend a day or so being completely lazy with very little movement more than from the fridge, couch, bathroom how hard it is to get moving with your regular routine? I don't know why it is so hard, but it is what it is. So get moving with some form of exercise, because if not it will be that much more difficult to get moving when you want to.
