Your heart becomes stronger and more effective. Your heart rate will diminish making your heart work less. Your Imune system becomes stronger as well, this means you will be able to fight deceases better.

You will recover faster from activities and you'll be able to keep at it longer. For someone who doesn't compete at a high level it is advisable to do all your activities in the Aerobic zone, this way you are not stressing your body and making all the gains at the same time! Aerobic zone would be somewhere between 60 - 80% of your Maximum Heart Rate (MHR).

You will benefit the most by keeping your activity level in that zone, this is where you will get the most advantage working on your overall endurance and just improving your Cardio vascular. Numerous studies has proven its benefits and there is no doubt that regular excersise will help protect against many diseases.

Don't forget nutrition though! :)
Good luck!
