Benefits of Regular Exercise

I was just wondering what benefits other people have noticed as a result of incorporating regular exercise into their lifestyle.
I'll start:
1. Better sleep - I've been sleeping better than I have in years.
2. Self-esteem improved - Always suffered from poor self-image since my teen years but not so anymore.
3. Sense of empowerment - Love feeling that I can conquer anything that life throws my way.
Of course, there's more but these three are the major ones for me.
Anyone else?
