According to the newsletter, the 76-year-old pro stated that the world mostly focuses on muscle building and getting stronger as a solution to living longer. Thus, he notes it as a crucial “piece of the puzzle” but not the only exercise that solves the problem. “Research also suggests that fast walkers live longer than those who can’t maintain a decent pace,” Arnie revealed.
