Dr. Benjamin Levine is a legend in the field of exercise physiology. He ran a study that shows that:

1. as we age, the heart tends to get smaller and stiffer. This impacts its efficiency, reducing exercise capacity and potentially elevating heart failure risk

2. But remarkably, 2 years of vigorous exercise in sedentary 50-year-olds reversed some of the heart’s age-related structural changes and stiffness by up to 20 years

3. Meaning, exercise gave these sedentary 50-year-olds hearts akin to those of 30-year-olds

That’s the power of exercise
