A Brigham Young University study found that people who ran 30 to 40 minutes at high intensity five days a week were consistently biologically younger than those who followed more moderate exercise programs, or who led sedentary lifestyles. "High intensity" exercise means you work up a sweat and have difficulty holding a conversation. Not a runner? That's OK - you can substitute another aerobic exercise, such as:
• Swimming
• Bicycling
• Using elliptical or stair-climbing gym machines
• Taking classes that get your heart rate up (think: kickboxing and step aerobics)
Whatever you choose, experts say it's important to do it consistently. To stay motivated, choose an activity you enjoy or that you can do with a friend. And make exercise a priority by setting aside time for it in your daily calendar.
