Light to Moderate Jogging Might be the Best Exercise for You…..

We all know exercise is critical to good health, but the debate rages as to how much exercise and what kind of exercise is best for you. Your age, pre-existing conditions, and other reasons factor into the equation. Having said that, here is one article which states that a moderate amount of jogging either outside of the home or on a treadmill helps lower your risk of death.

A short snippet from the article:

“First, some exercise reduces your risk of death. Second, the optimal walking/jogging exercise is light to moderate jogging. The optimal speed is between 5 and 7 mph, and if you do 25 minutes about three times a week, you’re all set. Nothing in the data suggests that running more – farther, or faster – will do more to lower your risk of death.”
