    I saw a study recently that took some people between the the ages of 55 and 80 - half did some stretching exercises and half did aerobic exercise - and they did MRI scans at baseline, 6 months and 12 months. In the aerobic group there was a 2% increase in a certain part of the brain, the hippocampus, whereas in the stretching group there was a 1.4% decrease. Use it or lose it.

    Hats off to him.
    However, considering the general population I think it's extremely easy and takes minimal effort, for an elderly, to be fitter than MOST people in their 30s.
