“Taken together, these studies support the viewpoint that regular physical activity and the avoidance of obesity maintain immune health while reducing the risk for several types of respiratory illnesses… COVID-19 took just a few months to spread to nearly every nation on earth while causing widespread morbidity and mortality. The data support the belief that severe cases of COVID-19 are more likely in older and obese individuals. This is indeed a wake-up call.”

“Kimbers Cadieux never particularly enjoyed working out — “if left to my own devices, I wouldn’t do it,” she said. But the 64-year-old cancer survivor is exercising almost daily now to reduce her odds of complications if she’s ever infected with the coronavirus that causes COVID-19.

“If COVID shows up, I want to be stronger,” she said.”
