Hi.

This is a good thing that you are doing.

It is always good to do exercise, both mental and physical, as it helps the body to recover and be able to fight off a lot of diseases. Exercise also releases lots of hormones which help the person to stay healthy and energetic.

I hope this helps you. All the best.
