Strength Training May Boost Longevity | Health and Fitness News
Description
New research reveals that hitting 90 to 120 minutes of strength training weekly slashes death risk by 13%, with even bigger drops for heart and brain health. But the real magic happens when you combine that with aerobic exercise—those who nailed both saw a stunning 45% lower risk of dying. Experts caution against treating this as a rigid rule, since self-reported data and unmeasured workout types limit precision. Still, the takeaway is clear: consistency matters more than intensity, and even adding a little resistance training to your cardio routine can boost longevity. Find what sticks—and stick with it.
