I get that maintaining health and vigor may not be as easy as people say. In that regard, nothing anyone says is ever as easy when you actually have to do something. But the rewards you get from exercise far outweigh any hardship that you expend. Whether you're trying to get in shape or using exercise to recover from ill health or an injury, exercise truly is the magic bullet. If you want to boost the impact of that magic bullet, eating right helps but supplementation really is where the benefits pour in. So exercise. Don't want to get out and exercise?
No problem. Do push-ups. Start with 10. Do these throughout the day. Work up to 12 to 15 then to 20. An immediate benefit that exercise provides is protection. Here are some other benefits:
1. Push-ups protect your shoulder joints from injury or weakness. Dips while hanging from parallel bars provide similar protection. Don't want to spend hundreds of dollars on parallel bars or create a small-scale gym inside your home or apartment? Fine. Check out the price and size of this Dip Station.
2. Push-ups also support your posture.
3. Push-ups strengthen the lower back. Check out this video to find more benefits of push-ups.
If you'd like to do chin-ups and pull-ups but don't feel that you have the strength for it or the endurance or that your core isn't built for it yet, then try this move on a parallel bar.
Just remember that exercise works a group of muscles and not individual muscles. That's important. Push-ups, for example, are great for stabilizing the shoulders which is important for, well, everybody.
And if you walk on a daily basis, remember that it is better to walk as fast as you can to get the benefits.

Nothing new here. Just great reminders.Proof that walking too slow is bad for you https://t.co/8EqpJ0uqWD— MarketWatch (@MarketWatch) June 9, 2018
A recent Harvard University study concluded that you could add 10 years to your life by following five habits: eating a healthy diet, exercising 30 minutes or more a day, maintaining a healthy weight — a body mass index between 18.5 and 24.9 — never smoking and drinking only a moderate amount of alcohol.
In that study, the researchers analyzed 34 years of data from approximately 78,000 women and 27 years of data from more than 44,000 men. The authors predicted that women who adopted these five habits would see 14 more years of life, and men would add 12 years.
