The internet was abuzz with a new study last week. A maximum of two hours of strength training every week was linked to better longevity, with a 19% lower risk of dying from cardiovascular disease and a 27% lower risk of death related to a neurological disease, such as dementia.
Experts used data from three studies to see how weekly resistance training and aerobic exercise impacted the health of 147,374 people over 30 years. The participants, with an average age of 54, were asked to record how much of each exercise they did per week.
