I became addicted years ago at a young age because all I ever do is sit down and read and write all day, and I noticed that after workouts I have much more energy and my concentration is better. Now it's like brushing my teeth or something. I don't have to think about it or force myself to do it, it's just part of my day.

I do understand to a degree. I used to start my day with five minutes of stretching and a couple minutes of sit-ups and push-ups. This was motivated by some semi-regular visits to a chiropractor but I did notice other benefits with the morning routine.
I got out of this routine of morning exercise probably because of laziness but I was doing almost nightly walks through parks with family and that kept the cardio going good along with everything else. My routine lately is not so good!
I have a friend that was forced to retire (disability) due to a bad back and cardio. He started doing regular workouts at the gym and walking, he has dropped over 50 pounds and is in better health now than 20 years ago.
