Do you believe that most of your internal programming is unconscious? The truth is that it is, but you have the power to influence yourself through awareness. Chopra, in Ageless Body, Timeless Mind, says that "It is in the absence of being aware, when we don't see anything happening, that physiological processes slip out of our control." When we don't exercise, over the years, we will lose muscle mass and eventually control over some body parts. This doesn't have to happen! Lastly, Chopra points out the well-known principle in physiology, "...that any part of the body that falls into disuse will begin to atrophy and wither away."
Personally, I feel great after I hit the gym or meditate. Feeling the connection with my body is an enlightening worth-while activity. When I am closest to myself in body and mind is when I am most at peace. I can hear myself and my needs which is usually muddled with all of the daily things I must get done. It's nice to focus on just yourself. It's calming.
