flag Mixing different types of exercise may lower death risk by up to 19%, according to a new study.

flag A new study in BMJ Medicine finds that varying your exercise routine—such as mixing walking, swimming, yoga, gardening, and pickleball—may reduce the risk of death from all causes by up to 19%, outperforming simply increasing exercise duration. flag Analyzing data from over 110,000 people across two long-term studies, researchers found that activity diversity improves strength, flexibility, balance, and joint health while lowering injury risk and preventing fitness plateaus. flag Experts emphasize that mixing movements, working all major muscle groups, and including rest days are key to long-term health, with even small daily activities like desk squats or walking breaks contributing. flag The findings support current U.S. guidelines but highlight variety as a crucial factor for longevity.
