Vigorous Exercise Can Help Seniors Avoid Disability

Believe it.

"Healthy seniors who are physically active and exercise for more than 60 minutes each week can lessen their chances of disability as they age, finds a new long-term study."

But do not believe the "exercise" part.

Physical activity that results in improved fitness must be training. Exercise will not result in improved fitness for the overwhelming majority.

But, engaging in physical activity, even below a training level, can help with maintaining function and balance.

Better to train and get all the benefits.
