Maximizing Longevity through Safe and Effective Extended Workouts

Experts recommend slow, incremental progress when increasing the amount of time spent exercising each day. The United States Office of Disease Prevention and Health Promotion recommends that adults clock at least 150 to 300 minutes per week of moderate exercise, 75 to 150 minutes each week of vigorous movement, or “an equivalent combination of both intensities.” However, a recent study published in the journal Circulation suggested that boosting the time you spend biking, lifting weights, and running may promote longevity. Experts offer tips for topping off your current workout regimen safely, including following the 10% rule of increasing your exercise regimen, prioritizing recovery, and tuning into your body’s cues.
