INTENSITY LEVEL IS IMPORTANT
There are many ways to perform cardiovascular exercise, having to do with varying intensity levels and duration, each having different benefits and risks. For the purpose of anti-aging, not all are equivalently helpful.
Moderately strenuous and sustained activities seem to work best for anti-aging (see my post Exercise, Longevity, and Anti-Aging for more details). The key seems to be to raise your target heart rate to 60-80% of your maximum heart rate and to sustain it for at least 30 minutes, 3 times a week.
