A new study suggests that working out regularly in the 20s and keep up the training in the 30s and 40s can help through midlife.
3,500 people between 18 and 35 years of age were studied for 20 for years. The findings show that especially women should do a "moderate-to-vigorous exercise" to stay fit and to avoid up to 13.5 pounds versus untrained women.
"The specific activities that we were looking at in this study included running, brisk walking, bicycling, engaging in recreational sports, even housework that was done briskly, and occupational work," the research leader said.
