The advantage of exercising (almost) every day

Wouldn't you be able to keep exercising every day? In that case, exercising every day can help. Huh?

On autopilot
When you exercise every day, it becomes a habit and habits are easier to maintain. Just think of brushing your teeth, you do that twice a day, without thinking about it.

Good for your motivation
If you exercise almost every day, exercise also becomes a habit, so you just do it without thinking. If you can't do it a few times, it's easier to pick up sports again afterwards, according to Michele Bridges (trainer for the television program The Biggest Loser in Australia).
