Mix Up Your Workouts: Variety May Lead to Longer Life

A new study suggests that varying your exercise routine could be key to a longer life. Researchers tracking 110,000 people over 30 years found that those who engaged in a variety of physical activities were 19% less likely to die than those who stuck to one form of exercise. Activities like walking, tennis, rowing, jogging, yoga, pilates and weight training all contribute to overall well-being. Experts recommend incorporating a mix of activities for both physical and mental health benefits.
