Ah, exercise. While I tend to loathe the monotony and bad early 90s dance music of the gym, I have to admit that I actually enjoy exercising outdoors - there's nothing better than going for a run on a crisp, sunny spring day. Luckily for me, there's been more and more studies touting physical activity as an age-fighter. You may have heard that keeping active can help combat disease, but a new study links regular exercise with looking younger (and not just from weight loss). In the study, British scientists followed twins and found that those who exercised more frequently were biologically younger than their non-exercising counterparts by as much as nine years. For me, exercise has been about maintaining a normal weight and combatting stress, but I'm beginning to see it more and more as part of my anti-aging arsenal.
So how about you - Is exercise a big part of your beauty regimen? Or does it not even factor in? Let me know in the comments.

After many years of avoiding it, I have succumbed to working out again. I don't know if I can truly say that it's important to my beauty regimen but it certainly is important to my health regimen. My face does glow but more importantly I sleep so much better and have more energy now that I am working out.
It's does a body good!
acadian librarian - I hear you on the sleep thing! I sleep so much better after I've worked out during the day. I'm usually just so pooped, I fall asleep immediately. and of course, we all know how important sleep is to looking our best. ;)
