The life-extending benefits of strength training
✦AI Summary
A study suggests that combining 4-6 hours of aerobic exercise with 60-120 minutes of strength training weekly can significantly reduce mortality risk. The findings highlight the specific longevity benefits of consistent strength training.
The life-enhancing and life-extending benefits of aerobic exercise are well-researched -- and impressive. Folks who get 300-600 minutes a week of moderate activity lower their risk (over 30 years) of all-cause mortality by 26% to 31%. At age 55, that can make your ActualAge about six years younger than your calendar age. (Discover your ActualAge at 4YOUngevity.com.)
