This Is The Best Way to Exercise for Longevity, According to New Science Korin Miller Wed, January 21, 2026 at 5:00 AM EST Study: Working Out This Way May Extend Your Life nazar_ab - Getty Images A study of data including more than 111,000 adults concluded that people who did the highest variety of exercises had a 19% lower risk of premature death compared to those with the least amount of variety. Different types of physical activity impact your body in unique ways, providing a variety of physical and mental benefits. More research is needed to determine a "perfect" mix of exercise, and experts stress that any kind of exercise is better than none. Exercise takes time and effort, which is why it’s so easy to find one workout you love and keep repeating it. But new research suggests the key to getting the most out of your fitness routine is to mix things up. The study, which was published in the journal BMJ Medicine, specifically links workout variety to living a longer, healthier life. That doesn’t mean you need to toss your go-to exercise out the window, but it does make the case for adding in a few other activities to round things out. This echoes guidance trainers have given for years. So, why is workout variety so important? Here’s what the study found, plus what experts want you to keep in mind. Meet the experts: Han Han, PhD, is the lead study author and postdoctoral research fellow at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health. Albert Matheny, RD, CSCS, is the co-founder of SoHo Strength Lab. What did the study find?For the study, researchers analyzed health and lifestyle data from more than 111,000 adult men and women that was gathered over more than 30 years. Study participants reported how much time a week they spend doing a range of activities, including walking, running, bicycling, and lifting. Less strenuous activities like gardening and climbing stairs were also in the mix. After crunching the data, the researchers discovered that people who did the highest variety of exercises had a 19% lower risk of premature death compared to those with the least amount of variety. Surprisingly, this was true at every level of physical activity, regardless of how much total time people spent exercising. Why is exercise variety important for longevity?Different types of physical activity impact your body in various ways, explains Han Han, PhD, lead study author and postdoctoral research fellow at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health. “Habitually doing a mix of different activities may provide physical and mental benefits through multiple pathways,” he says. Your body is also forced to adapt when you do different activities, says Albert Matheny, RD, CSCS, co-founder of SoHo Strength Lab. “When you’re faced with more than one stimulus, it makes you more resilient,” he points out. “That’s tied to longevity.” How To Find the Right Mix for YouIt’s important to stress this: Any kind of exercise or activity is better than nothing at all. But if you want to max out the perks in terms of longevity, it’s good to change things up. More research is needed to figure out that perfect mix. But, switching your routine could simply mean making sure you have a rotation of cardio exercises like running, swimming, and cycling to try to get at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise a week, along with at least two days of strength training, per recommendations from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). (You could also swap the exercises you do within your strength workouts from time to time.) Matheny suggests tossing in some everyday activities like gardening to round things out. “If you’re performing a wide variety, you're keeping your joints and muscles healthier and more resilient,” Matheny says. Having a solid mix can also keep you more engaged in your workouts, he points out. Ultimately, “the takeaway is that an active lifestyle is great," Matheny says.

British Columbia, Canada - extortion 'hunt': 7 charged, 9 expelled, 111 facing immigration investigations A Surrey Police Service patch is seen on an officer's uniform in Surrey, B.C., on Friday, Nov. 29, 2024. THE CANADIAN PRESS/Darryl Dyck© The Canadian Press SURREY — Assistant RCMP Commissioner John Brewer says police are "actively hunting" extortion suspects in the province and across provincial borders into Alberta and Ontario, amid a spike in extortion threats and shootings in B.C. since the start of the new year. Brewer said in a four-month update since the creation of the BC Extortion Task Force that extortionists are changing their methods in response to law enforcement efforts, as police continue to try to "root them out" and arrest them or deport them. He said shootings and threats of violence create "fear and uncertainty within the community," but he said people shouldn't take the law into their own hands after reports out of Surrey, B.C., that a target returned fire in one of the city's latest incidents of gunfire coupled with attempted extortion. "There's no need for anybody to take the law in their hands or engage in overt acts of self-defence here. You are going to endanger yourself and you're going to endanger your neighbours," he said. "Let the police do their job." Brewer said at a news conference in Surrey, B.C., on Tuesday that police are also working with the Canada Border Services Agency. He said the agency is investigating the admissibility of 111 foreign nationals, telling the news conference that "making a refugee claim does not exempt lawbreakers from the consequences of their actions."

Brewer said the task force has taken over 32 files across the Lower Mainland since it was established in September to combat a wave of shootings and blackmail attempts targeting the South Asian community. He said seven people had been criminally charged and nine people removed from Canada, while there were "a number of files" with Crown prosecutors being finalized to get more charges laid. The update comes amid a surge in extortion-related crime in Surrey where police said they had responded to another shooting. It happened early Monday at about 4:30 a.m. along King George Boulevard near 71 Avenue, where the shooting was reported at a local business. The Surrey Police Service said no one was injured, but they arrived to find the business and some vehicles damaged. Serious crime investigators have taken the case, with police saying the attack appears to be linked to the spate of extortion violence. The shooting is one of at least four in the Metro Vancouver city over the last week that investigators have linked to extortion. Brewer said Tuesday that some of the suspects facing charges are in custody, while some have been released on "strict conditions." He said police efforts have been "unrelenting" and the task force has over 1,000 exhibits and hundreds of hours of CCTV footage that is being meticulously analyzed. The task force said in a statement that it had "obtained almost 100 judicial authorizations and executed multiple search warrants" since its inception in both B.C. and in Alberta. "We are not on our back feet anymore … We are moving forward. We are now actively hunting these extortionists, and they know we're hunting them," he said. "They are changing their (modus operandi) because we're hunting them, and we will continue to hunt them. We will root them out from every dark corner they try to hide in, and will either put them before the courts, or they will be deported" This report by The Canadian Press was first published Jan. 20, 2026.
