Our Top 10 are different because of the activities we do and because of our age difference. My favorite of the top ten is Enables you to socialize and get in shape at the same time. This is because sports are a good way to get to know people. This is especially true in team sports and if you go on a walk or a jog.

The one most important to me, I think is "makes it easier to exercise consistently because you like the way you look and feel and you don't want to lose it."

5)Builds muscles
6)enhances clarity of the mind
7)Reduces tension and quells stress

Family member's top 10
1)May add a few years to your life
2)Helps you sleep better
3)Enables you to relax more quickly and completely
4)Builds strength
5)Makes you feel good
6)Enables you to better enjoy all types of physical activities.
7)Is a wonderful way to enjoy nature and the outdoors.
8)Reduces tension and quells stress
9)Gives you more energy
10)Burns up extra calories

I think that some of the reasons are different because we are in different places in our lives and therefore have different goals, but some of the reasons are the same because all humans want a long, problem-free life, and everybody wants to feel good about themselves. My favorite reason is "Instills a positive attitude towards yourself and life" because I struggle with keeping a positive attitude sometimes.
