And how true it is? Fortunately, science has sought to put that number to the test, and while 10k is an ideal benchmark for prolonging your life, the welcome news is that the health benefits start to kick-in at a much lower level.

Physically speaking, Chris Young is beginning to look more like an NFL tight end than a music superstar.
At 6’4”, 255 pounds, the country crooner looks equally equipped for handling George Kittle-like out routes as he does holding an audience’s attention for 90-plus minutes at each of his sold-out concerts.
This leaner, more athletic version of Young is the result of a 60-pound weight loss transformation coming as the result of his new training program—consisting of working out with a host of NFL tight ends under the guidance of trainer Jeremy Holt, who’s known for helping develop a host ..read more
