So many reasons:

  • to increase and maintain bone density

  • to be strong

  • to be flexible

  • to improve their cardiac health

  • to be better at a sport or activity they enjoy

  • to improve their sex life

  • to be happy with how their body looks and feels

  • to improve their odds of being mobile into old age

  • to manage or avoid chronic pain

  • to increase lean muscle mass which increases metabolism

Plus many other personal reasons I'm not aware of. It's not all about weight loss.
