Gain 1/2 hour extra life every day

[fabindia]

Listening to 'A Life Scientific' on radio 4 last night, it was stated that if you exercise for 1/2 hour each day it adds an extra 1/2 hour to your life apparently, that is an extra 1/2 hour for each 1/2 hour of exercise, not just one extra 1/2 hour in total Doing more doesn't have any have any further benefit.

Worth thinking about.

Even more incentive for my early morning workout then!

I love science - thanks, Mike

even better if you can do your half an hour during works time (I can , and they encourage me to do so )

But the extra time you earn by exercising would be added on at the end of your life If I live to 80 or so and I have alzheimers or ill health, I don't think I would want any extra time added on

It based on statistics from studies of very large numbers of populations. So unfortunately it is no guarantee for any one individual.

I've been thrashing my engine for many years now - but we won't go into that :-)
