Age Successfully with Exercise

According to a study published in the Archives, Dr. Qi Sun, a researcher at Harvard School of Public Health, analyzed 13,000 women participating in the Nurses' Health Study and found that when it came to exercise, more was better.  Compared with women who jogged for 20 minutes a week, those who jogged three hours a week or walked briskly for 5 hours a week were 76% more likely to age successfully, free of chronic illnesses such as cancer and heart disease, as well as mental and physical impairment.

What exercise activity will you do on a regular basis that will put you in the 76% bracket?
