It’s well known that physical activity can help you lose weight. But did you know that keeping it moving — your body, that is — also leads to other positive results? Here are 10 benefits of physical activity cited by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention:

1. Lower risk of type 2 diabetes or diabetes complications
2. Better brain function
3. More money in your wallet (due to better health and lower health care costs)
4. Lower risk of some cancers
5. Longer life
6. Better mood
7. Stronger bones and muscles
8. Lower risk of heart disease and stroke
9. Fewer sick days
10. Better grades in school
