Research suggests there's an ideal amount of physical activity that helps you live longer.
It’s well known that consistent exercise is good for you, and apublished in Circulation – the American Heart Association’s scientific journal – underlines this idea.
from the US Department of Health and Human Services recommend that each week, adults get 150 to 300 minutes of moderate physical activity, 75 to 150 minutes of vigorous physical activity “or an equivalent combination of both,” the study notes – withThis study defined moderate physical activity as walking, weightlifting and doing lower-intensity exercise. It categorised exercises like running, bicycling and swimming as vigorous physical activity.
Additionally, the results also only imply an association between more exercise and lower risk of premature death. However, plenty of previous research has shown that exercise is extremely beneficial for our health – so it’s not exactly a surprise that the study found a correlation between physical activity and improved longevity.A bike ride counts toward your weekly vigorous physical activity goal.
This can help slowly introduce the new moderate or vigorous activity into your routine. From there, you can increase the duration or pace over the course of the coming weeks, she notes.
