A combination of 'pumping iron' and aerobic exercise every week reaped the most benefits, researchers said
Adults who reported meeting the aerobic activity guidelines and weightlifting at least one or two times each week were found to have a 41 to 47% lower risk of death during the study period.
"Among adults reporting no aerobic MVPA , any weightlifting was associated with 9-22% lower all-cause mortality. "The weightlifting-associated mortality benefit shown here provides initial evidence to clinicians and other health professionals that older adults would probably benefit from adding weightlifting exercises to their physical activity routines."
