One decade-long study published in the journal Heart looked at more than 1,000 older patients who were diagnosed with heart disease. Not surprisingly, the least physically active were twice as likely to have a heart attack or stroke than those who were more physically active.

But the German researchers also found that those who engaged in strenuous daily exercise were twice as likely to die ​from a heart attack or stroke than those who only moderately exercised a few times a week. (Via Flickr / Herald Post)
