Benefits of daily exercise:

Physical health benefits of sports: Clearly, sports can help you reach your fitness goals and maintain a healthy weight. However, they also encourage healthy decision-making, such as not smoking and not drinking
Sports boost self-esteem: Watching your hard work pay off and achieving your goals develops self-confidence.
