If we all begin the same exercise routine tomorrow, some of us will become much fitter, others will get a little more in shape, and a few of us may actually lose fitness. Individual responses to exercise can vary that wildly and, until now, unpredictably. But a fascinating new study of more than 650 men and women suggests that the levels of certain proteins in our bloodstreams might foretell whether and how we will respond to various exercise regimens.

The study needs replication and expansion, but represents a meaningful start toward a blood test to indicate the best types of exercise for each of us, and if we can expect to gain more or less benefit from the same workout as our spouse, offspring or other training partners or rivals.

For all the flak Fauci gets from us I do give him credit for one thing- running races and being physically fit, even now at 80.

"Exercise is essential at every age."

I agree.

At 77, I go for a vigorous walk with my dogs every morning.

Preservatives! Excellent! Some of us need to prevent further decline as we age.

The article generates our curiosity to find out what is the most effective exercise. After all of the reading you find out that further study is necessary. WHAT?!

From the article:

But a fascinating new study of more than 650 men and women suggests that the levels of certain proteins in our bloodstreams might foretell whether and how we will respond to various exercise regimens.

So: Take the blood test, and find out which exercise regime is appropriate for you, individually!

LOL nice.

I hate the stairs though, mostly because you’d have an entire platoon on 3 flights, so while guys are coming down you’re going up and vice versa, it makes for some tight fits.

Is creatine still one of the main staples or is there some new fangled thing that’s replaced it?
