I feel that way too, but I know too much about genetics to accept it as fact. The fittest of people can have unknown genetic conditions or conditions that specifically impact the heart, and pushing themselves to the limits could do quite the opposite.

I would like to live longer, so I do exercise, as that's more of an outlier situation. However, I do have a murmur myself, so it could be a double-edged sword in my case too.

That's definitely not to say that you'll die sooner if you exercise. It's more likely than not the opposite.
