The best exercise for longevity has been confirmed by exercise scientists. Well, the best three exercises that, when combined together in a healthy and sustainable routine, have proven benefits to help us live better and for longer.

Longevity is the buzzword for 2025. We hear it when we're talking about our biological age and the famous 'Blue Zones' - but what does it actually mean? The National Institute for Ageing (NIA) defines it as the length of time an individual lives, influenced by a combination of genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors.
