Exercise for Longevity

Combats aging, prevents sarcopenia, and reduces mortality risk. Strength training 3x/week, cardio, flexibility, and balance exercises are essential.

Strength training could cut your risk of all-cause mortality by up to 46% among older adults, proving that it’s never too late to benefit from exercise.

  • Day 2: Lower body strength training
  • Day 3: Active recovery and mobility
