Hi,

I maintain the world's biggest spread sheet of life span experiments.

I believe slowing aging can increase life span.

It turns out that the effect of exercise on all-cause mortality is well studied.

My big spread sheet summarizes about 80 experiments.

They show that exercise usually lets us live longer.

A histogram of their results is at

I think the trick is to not OVER train.

I'm told that over-training is worse than no training, and just working up a light sweat is good.

More findings from data mining my big spread sheet of life span experiments are at
