Human performance scientists are in universal agreement that the one thing you can to do slow the aging process, and feel good afterwards, is to keep yourself physically active. Studies found that physically unfit men who became fit had death rates 44% lower than those who remained unfit. Exercise experts are now revising their definition of “aging” to reflect that aging for most people equates to inactivity. Today, thanks to high-tech sports medicine and rehab advancements, men and women in their 90s and 100s are regaining strength and mobility from muscle training. The take-home lesson: it’s never too late to start exercising, but getting a jump start while you’re still agile is best.
