The Exercise Secret to Staying Young—Revealed by Science!

What if the key to staying active and independent as you age lies not in what you do, but how you do it? New research shows how two simple exercise routines can work wonders.

A fascinating study using mice reveals that both High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) and Voluntary Wheel Running (VWR) can slow age-related decline in physical function. Older mice that exercised retained their strength, endurance, and mobility compared to sedentary counterparts. Even better, HIIT proved to be a time-efficient way to achieve similar results, while VWR offered consistent, gradual benefits.

The takeaway? Any exercise—whether intense bursts or steady effort—can preserve your independence and quality of life as you age.
