Did you know that as little as 30 minutes of strength training per week has been linked to lowering your all causes mortality risk by up to 20%?

A review of 16 studies looked into this in the "British Journal of Sports Medicine," and the researchers discovered that being strong is like having a superpower against health issues, especially when it comes to avoiding stuff like heart problems, diabetes, and cancer.

So if you’re struggling to hang on to those New Year’s Resolutions to do something for your health and longevity this year, know that you can start (very) small!

Set aside 10 minutes a day, three times a week. If hitting the gym isn't your thing, the research suggests that bodyweight exercises can offer the same health benefits. So, throw in some squats, lunges, pushups, bodyweight rows, and pullups. Those quick workouts might not feel like a lot, but if you stick to them for at least three times a week, it'll pay off and make a significant impact.
