Most important of all is the fact that activity builds your heart, yes, your heart is a muscle. Exercise makes your heart bigger and stronger. Walking will not do this alone, unless you continue to walk faster and faster everyday. This is why weights are preferred by some.

Exercise also helps prevent diseases.
