Compared with just two minutes of vigorous activity per week, 15 minutes was associated with an 18% lower risk of death and a 15% lower likelihood of cardiovascular disease, while 12 minutes was associated with a 17% reduced risk of cancer by Wagamaga

exercise improves cognitive function and is likewise protective against cognitive deficits and dementia... nobody's doing it so they can live to 80 and be a borderline vegetable, they're doing it so they can feel better at 60 than they would otherwise.

bodily decline and actual lifespan are two very different issues. increased lifespan with decreased bodily decline is good.
