A newly published study funded by The National Institutes of Health shows a 20% reduction in stroke risk for both women and men over 45

who exercised versus those did not. Men got the best results 4 times or more a week. While women reaped a similiar benefit exercising just 1-4 times a week.

"Getting your daily dose of cardio seems like a no brainer to me," says women's exercise program expert Mirabai Holland.

Here's a link to an NIH article on the study

"NIH-funded study suggests that moving more may lower stroke risk."
