Long-Term Benefits of Working Out

Many of us work out to attain specific short-term goals ... a smaller waist, great abs, overcoming a health issue. The fact is, if there is any such thing as a fountain of youth, it can probably be found at the gym. A recent study followed a group of over 3,000 men and 5 hundred women. The research found that the participants with the higher strength levels experience fewer of the physical problems that often come with old age. Low strength levels were often good predictors of problems like obesity and poor endurance. The research found that you increase your quality of life in later years by performing both aerobic and strength exercises! It's a healthy strategy that will pay long-term health dividends!
