Aerobics Accelerates Aging
For over 20 years, we've known that a person's lung capacity is a primary indicator of longevity. This simple fact about aging comes to us from the now-famous "Framingham Heart Study." Simply stated, the bigger your lungs are, the longer you live.
Aerobics - a very popular form of exercise supposedly designed to help you live longer - is a regrettable mistake. Instead of lengthening your life by increasing your lungpower, it does the opposite. In order to cope with the constant stress of long-duration exercise, your body shrinks your lungs over time, making you more prone to chronic disease.
This is bad news. Especially when you consider that your lungs naturally get smaller with age. Aerobic exercise actually causes you to age faster, pushing you into the grave before your time.
Short duration High intensity workouts with strength training is the solution. |
