The risk of gaining a few months by playing the odds doesn’t seem to be enough of a reward.
I would think there is a range in which the benefits far outweigh the risks when it comes to exercise. The tough part is finding that fine line where an individual doesn’t constantly exceed that range, especially as a person ages.
