- Regular exercise (4 days a week) is a key part of the author's morning routine, providing vitality and mental clarity.
- A thought experiment calculates the ROI of exercise, assuming it expands lifespan by 3-10 years, with a conservative estimate of 10 years for regular tennis players.
- Lifetime exercisers might see even greater benefits, but the study uses a 1:10 ROI (1 year of exercise for 10 extra years of life).
- Exercise offers additional benefits like better sleep, strength, cognitive function, community access, and reduced pain, enhancing quality of life at every stage.
- The time commitment (3 hours/week) is comparable to watching a few Netflix episodes, making it a manageable and highly rewarding investment.
