Doing around one to two hours of resistance training per week is linked to a lower risk of early death, heart disease and neurological conditions, according to a new study - but researchers say there is no added health benefit beyond roughly two hours of strength exercise weekly jrnl.ie/7059866

Lifting weights helps you live longer — but more than two hours a week doesn’t add extra benefit
The study found that people doing 60 to 119 minutes of resistance training per week had the lowest overall risk of death from any cause.

While I maintain that Vertigo is Hitchcock's best, I can understand why someone would dislike it. Rear Window, on the other hand, is that rare perfection where I can't comprehend how someone couldn't enjoy it. Godfather 1 (even if 2 is better) and Wizard of Oz are other examples of this. #TCMParty
