Regular exercise benefits the body and mind in countless ways, experts say.

The American Council on Exercise advises that regular workouts increase the likelihood of:

• Being at a healthy body weight.
• Managing swelling and pain caused by arthritis.
• Keeping lean muscle mass, which typically is reduced as you get older.
• Having more self-confidence and self-esteem.
• Maintaining independence.
• Feeling better.
