How essential is exercise

I'd like to ask the group a question : I work out daily, for about an hour. My wife thinks that I'm too stringent on exercise and I suspect believes that it is not really necessary. She also thinks that I am doing it for myself and I am, but every bit of exercise I do reduces the chances that she'll have to cook for me, cut up my food, do all the house chores, etc. I'm probably preaching to the converted, but what do you think?

  1. I also notice that when I'm tired she often says that it's because of the exercise I've done, and refuses to accept that it could just be a symptom. I think that overall the exercise would reduce the incidence of the tiredness symptom.
