Convenient access to varied types of fitness equipment can make regular exercise habits easier to achieve. Aerobic and muscle-strengthening activities each provide unique health benefits, including weight control, lower risk of cardiovascular disease, diabetes and cancer, better bone health, cardiorespiratory and muscular fitness, and improved cognitive function.
