Bad news for moderate exercisers

Moderate exercise might not prolong your life .

New research labels as an “illusion” a major study’s conclusion that couch potatoes who take up at least moderate regular exercise can reduce their risk of dying early. The apparent benefit “can be entirely attributed to measurement error,” said researcher Paul T. Williams.

Of course, even if the original study was flawed, that doesn’t mean its conclusions were necessarily wrong. But I’d like to recommend regular vigorous exercise anyway.
