Nice post, thanks.

Just to counsel some additional advice on this - be aware that eating (and your diet) is much more important than exercise when it comes to maintaining a healthy lifestyle.

I point this out because I enjoyed exercising for many years before really getting to grips with this point. You can do lots of exercise but still eat badly and consequently not really make any progress.

However exercise is still beneficial.

There are lots of articles on this, but this NYT article[1] includes links to meta-studies for anyone interested in that level of detail.
