As people pursue healthier lifestyles, exercise must be a cornerstone of their efforts. Weight loss alone does nothing for the body's muscles. 
Without exercise, ideal weight is more difficult to maintain, since metabolism has not been fine-tuned along with muscles. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)*, there are numerous additional benefits offered by regular exercise:
- Reduces the risk or effects of arthritis, high blood pressure, diabetes, coronary heart disease, colon cancer, stroke and other conditions
- Lowers "bad" cholesterol while increasing "good" cholesterol
- Allows people of all ages to burn calories, decrease body fat, achieve and maintain a healthy body weight
- Improves feelings of depression, anxiety and stress; promotes psychological well-being
- Promotes healthy bones, lean muscles and flexible joints in people of all ages-especially helps seniors alleviate excessive fatigue; reduces chance of falling/fracturing bones

Regular exercise is shown to improve physical and mental health, not to mention overall quality of life. When properly practiced, exercise is beneficial to everyone, regardless of age or ability. Though this may not come as a revelation, too many people avoid regular exercise for a variety of reasons that often stem from simple misconceptions and unrealistic expectations. A major step forward can be achieved through exercise with functional fitness equipment. Exercise is low-impact and involves multiple muscle groups for faster, safer and more practical fitness. A variety of exercise is often possible as well, keeping users interested and reducing burnout. When the equipment is portable, users do not have to disrupt their exercise routine while traveling.
