It's imperative to keep strength training up every year to continue to be strong all over and prevent such thing as osteoporosis. Then there is flexibility where working on being limber helps to keep joints from stiffening up. I think exercise has to be approached from a holistic approach in order to reap the best benefits from it.

I agree.....I'm a weight lifter and very muscular. ...but I also do a lot of cardio that really pushes my heart and breathing.
Why??? Because nobody dies prematurely from NOT having big muscles. ....but people die everyday from NOT taking care of there cardiovascular system.
