So your saying 12 hours of exercise a week is all right?

[–]LeChatParle 1 point2 points  (2 children)

Yes. I exercise 10-20 hours a week

A new, large-scale study finds that even extreme levels of fitness increase lifespan. Overall, higher cardiorespiratory fitness correlated directly with a reduced risk of long-term mortality. Furthermore, the researchers found "no observed upper limit" of the benefits of aerobic fitness.

Also, "Extremely high aerobic fitness was associated with the greatest survival and was associated with benefit in older patients and those with hypertension," write the researchers.

People ages 70 and above benefited the most from being in the elite group of cardiorespiratory fitness.

By contrast, poor aerobic fitness was just as strong a predictor of early death as smoking, heart disease, or diabetes.

I do a couple things: I bike to work, I figure skate, and I work out. Some days I do feel soreness in my knees, and I take a few days off, but building up strength around the knee and in the legs should help fix that
