Exercise is often seen as an indulgence, something you only do if you "have the time".
If you share this mindset, and you only fit in exercise when all the housework is done, when the kids have had their needs met, when you have been to work, when you've done the shopping etc then you need to think again.
All of those "more important" tasks will be harder and harder to maintain when you neglect your own health, and a huge part of health is movement, mobility, strength, balance...which are achieved through exercise.

MAKE THE TIME.
Whether it's a walk around the block, taking a class, you tube HIIT sessions or even dancing, invest time NOW in exercise to prevent the following...
Muscle loss
Increased blood pressure
Breathlessness
Cardiovascular disease
Type 2 diabetes
Bone deficiencies, and fractures
Anxiety
Depression
Reduced memory function.
The recommended amount of exercise adults should take is 30mins activity each day, plus at least 2 resistance training sessions per week (which includes bodyweight).
Get moving.
