Exercise benefits everyone - young or old, thin or heavy, whatever your state of health.
It is healthier to be overweight but in good physical condition, than to be thin and sedentary. However, if you do need to lose weight, exercise is essential to the task.
Virtually any health condition can be improved with exercise. See the list at below for more detail. Even when serious surgery is required, physicians recommend strength training to improve post-op recovery. The standard treatment for cardiovascular disease, diabetes, osteoporosis, hypertension, and most any condition you can name includes exercise.
Every athlete now strength trains to improve performance. Football players spend half their time in the gym. Even golfers now recognize the importance of conditioning - just ask Tiger Woods or Jack Nichlaus.
As you age, the best indicator of how long you will live, independent of any other risk factors, is your performance on the treadmill. On the other hand, the quality of your life is largely determined by strength training.
To look and feel your best, exercise is the ticket.
