Pottering around the garden or fixing up the house has been linked to a longer life in a study of people over the age of 60.
Older people can struggle to exercise vigorously, but the study said simply getting off the sofa and avoiding a sedentary lifestyle was a lifesaver.
The Swedish study of 4,232 people suggested the risks of heart attack and stroke were cut.
The findings were published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine.
