Why?? I love it! I always did, but got away from it for a number of years. I used to run a lot when I was younger, and used to even use my dad's weights and his exercise bike (but now I have my own--YAY!)
Exercise not only extends your life, it reduces appetite, gives you energy, and (heh heh) GREATLY improves your sex life. Hey, I ought to know. I would not give it up again for the world!
BTW I tried telling my mother this too: the ONLY way to permanently keep off weight lost is to combine healthy moderate eating with daily exercise. Exercise also helps firm up muscles and body parts.
