Agreed! Plus, regular exercise improves mental health (for example: https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/depression/in-depth/depression-and-exercise/art-20046495).

From my personal experience I know that on times when I have to take a break from daily running or walking, I feel the impact on my own stress and unease levels, and how great it feels after going out. That experience also motivates me to go out even if I don’t feel like it at the moment- because I know and want the reward of the exercise. The key is persistence, building it into the daily routine. And if on occasion I can only go for 30 min and not 60, well - 30 is much better than zero.
