💨 Abstract

The article discusses the benefits of both strength training and cardiovascular (cardio) exercises for healthy aging. Experts recommend a combination of both, not favoring one over the other. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) advises at least 75 to 150 minutes of physical activity weekly, including two days of strength training for major muscle groups. Strength training builds muscles and supports bone health, while cardio exercises improve heart and lung health, both crucial for aging well.
