INCREASE LONGEVITY

People Who Do Strength Training Live Longer

Regular physical activity has many known health benefits, one of which is that it might help you live longer.
In a new study published in The British Journal of Sports Medicine, researchers found that while doing either aerobic exercise or strength training was associated with a lower risk of dying during the study’s time frame, regularly doing both — one to three hours a week of aerobic exercise and one to two weekly strength training sessions — was associated with an even lower mortality risk.
