HA, Exactly my point. Lots of people with opinions, very few with the credentials and objectivity who are worth listening to .

IOW- In folks taking statins, the study found no significant benefit from the exercise program in it's endpoints- aerobic fitness and activity of an aerobic muscle enzyme. This study was not designed to look at other possible benefits of exercise in statin users, like cardiac risk reduction etc., so IMHO the findings were perhaps not presented in proper context by the blogger.
FWIW- My personal experience does NOT agree with this study (i.e. no aerobic benefit with exercise). Over years on same statin dose my aerobic fitness (e.g. 5k run time) clearly improves with my exercise training cycles, and declines with breaks in training (e.g. Holiday travels & celebrations ). No guarantee I may not develop statin muscle issues in the future, but most info suggest prob I won't.
Just to prove how confusing this is, here is another article. This one claims statins may slow down the aging process:

The great thing about statins is that they reduce risks for cardiovascular disease significantly and are generally safe for most people.
