Exercises That Can Add Years To Your Life

It's all about an average spread out over a lot of people. Of course there will be some exceptions, fit people who die young, unfit people who live very long. Genetics is a big factor, but exercise and eating healthy are important to your heart, which is important to your life.

I swim first thing each morning (at the pool by 6:00 a.m., 35 minute swim, 10 minutes in the steam room, shower, then home and change for my hour long commute). Not always easy to get out of bed, but it has been such a part of my routine for the past five years that I rarely even think about it anymore. The payoff has been beyond my hopes...

If you don't exercise, your quality of life will decline as you age. And, don't worry, you won't live forever if you're sedentary.

Almost any amount of moderate exercise will add years to your life.

Maybe if you're 25, haha
