When I used to be a ballet dancer, I did special stretching and strengthening exercises religiously--first thing in the morning, and first thing after dinner--because I had to, because I knew it was good for me. It was part of my routine, and I diverged from it only when deathly ill (and I mean deathly--I'm someone who once performed while stricken with bronchitis, that's how determined I was).
