Women may see greater health benefits from exercising regularly than men do, according to a recent study.
Women who engaged in 2.5 hours of moderate physical activity, or 75 minutes of vigorous exercise, weekly were 24% less likely to die when compared to women who didn’t exercise regularly within that same time period, according to the paper published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology.
In contrast, men who exercised for the same amount of time each week had only a 15% lower chance of dying than those who didn’t.
