Jogging for an hour a week can extend your life by six years.
Research Insights
Experts at Bispebjerg University Hospital analyzed data from the Copenhagen City Heart Study, surveying around 20,000 men and women aged 20 to 93. Their findings reveal that just one hour of jogging weekly adds up to six extra years of life—and moderate exercise outperforms intense regimens.
Additional Health Benefits
The study also highlighted jogging's broader advantages: enhanced oxygen uptake, reduced obesity risk, stronger heart and blood vessels, lower blood pressure, and improved mental well-being. Ready to lace up?
