At least 4 hours a week of vigorous and moderate physical activity can reduce death by 35-42%!
After over 15 years in the health and fitness business, reading way too much research, and watching people experience so much change, I have come to the conclusion that the keys to being healthy and fit, are daily exercise (including strength training) and eat as little processed food as possible. If you do these simple things I believe you can eliminate most lifestyle related diseases and have a daily life you actually enjoy.
I saw this and thought it worth sharing-
A study published in the journal Circulation shared findings on how much and what level of physical activity is needed to reduce mortality.
The study notes that "any combination of medium to high levels" of vigorous (75 to 300 minutes per week) and moderate physical activity (150 to 600 minutes per week) "can provide nearly the maximum mortality reduction," which is about 35% to 42%.
That sounds like it might be worth the effort. :-)
I'll include the AMA article in the comments if you want to read it.
