Observations/Short Term benefits of exercising

A "sassier" walk due to decreased knee and hip pain - I was in constant pain for some reason at the beginning of the year, to the point that I was taking Tylenol just to get out of bed!!!  That's over.

Frozen shoulder improving yep, I can do my own physical therapy!!

Diminished appetite I eat less garbage after I work out, for some reason

Stress management  no more stress-related heart issues, as long as I keep active.

Better cardio ability instead of focusing on cardio only, a weight-training program has enabled me to do more intense cardio, getting my endorphins up. YAAAAY

Improvement of knee pain - oh YEAH!!!  I'm about to undergo some type of knee procedure, due to my need to play tennis and impress someone, while maintaining a largely sedentary existence, about a year ago.  My knee has been hurting for a year, but I only attributed it to fat.   Realizing that I was limited in my ability to participate in the Boot Camp at my gym, I spoke to my ortho... I have a TORN MENISCUS!!!  This may require surgery!!!

Would not have happened if I had not gotten sedentary/unhealthy.
