Aerobic Exercise and Strength Train for a Longer Life

Did you know that regular aerobic exercise of moderate intensity, and regular strength training, reduce risk of premature death by up to 73%?

Despite the proven health benefits of regular exercise:

• only half of adults in the U.S. engage in enough AEROBIC EXERCISE each week to reap the maximum benefit

• only 1 in 4 adults in the U.S. engage in enough STRENGTH TRAINING each week to get the maximum benefit

The good news is that moderate intensity exercise, the equivalent of brisk walking for 150 minutes each week, is just as good for you as running.  That's all you need to reap the benefits from aerobic exercise, walk for 30 minutes each day, 5 days each week.

More good news is that all that's needed to reap the benefits from strength training is two sessions each week, for at least 15 minutes each session, where you work your major muscles against resistance.  That's it.  You can lift free weight at the gym, but you can also do yoga using an app from the comfort of your own home. Both will get you the life extending benefits.
