Baah Promotes Healthy Aging

Regular aerobic activity supports healthy aging, and personal trainer Michael Baah cites 150–300 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise weekly as reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and certain cancers.
People in their 40s and 50s should include vigorous sessions to build peak VO2 max.
Baah emphasizes strength training and cautions against excessive training, which can cause fatigue and injuries.
Any increase in activity above inactivity provides health benefits.
