(KYMA, KECY/CNN) - A new study finds that people who exercise more live longer.

Harvard researchers conducted an analysis of more than 100-thousand individuals over a 30-year follow-up period.

They found that adults who perform 2 to 4 times the currently recommended amount of moderate or vigorous activity per week have a significantly reduced risk of mortality.

Currently, the American Heart Association recommends that adults get at least 150 minutes per week of moderate aerobic exercise or 75-minutes per week of vigorous aerobic exercise or a combination of both.
