I’m 64 and have lifted and some kind of aerobic fairly often in my adult life. I found mountain biking in my mid fifties and have never looked back. I don’t really orchestrate a high intensity program on purpose but my short hill climbs and zooming down have made my exercise , according to Garmin, a routinely high intensity workout. To me it’s about fun, but also my identity. It’s kind of a religion. For me , the exercise and weights I did for many years was a chore to sustain . It’s no longer a chore. Never been happier to giver shit!
me, too. i'm 54, been mountain biking about 26 years, live for the downhill. I just try to do some upper body like pushups, dumbells curls, etc. I recently got ebike which is so fun, so should probably do other workouts to compensate for that
@@dft1 at the very least I gotta do some squats every week. My flexibility gets pretty shabby if I don’t. I do a few chin ups, some push ups. It’s tough now that the weather is good up here in Canada . I just want to hit the trails.
I, intuitively, have always done cardio before weights. My favorites are jump rope and the rowing machine, but not for more than 10 mins or so. I just enjoy how it gets the blood flowing and forces me to break a sweat before I jump into the heavy stuff, it's always felt like the natural progression for me and feels great. Wold love to hear Peter talk more about this.
Sames....I feel a bit stiff if in the knees and joints if I cold into lifting a little "cold". Nice little blood flowing with jump rope or playing hoops for a few mins I find helpful

Zone five on an actual bicycle is my absolute favorite. You make your own wind and you can enjoy the breeze and the scenery between sprints 😀🏋️♀️🏋️♀️😀
@@offthefront7537 on a bike. Sprints. As hard as you can. Stop peddling when you feel you want to die. Usually zone 5 can't be sustained longer than a minute
I train about 4hrs a day. Work atleast 40hr weeks. Sleep 5-6hrs a night and im away from home between 06:00-18:00 and when I get home i take the twins. And my woman seems happy. I often run during lunchbreaks and eat at my desk. I save a longer workout for weekends and i put away my phone at home. I dont have time for much more than eating working sleeping and being with my family but i enjoy it.
Successful workout routines are not this difficult or scientific. There are the core , multi joint basic exercises, enough rest between wo sessions, good nutritional meals and a few key supplements and 7 to 8 hrs. of quality sleep.
Generally, carido performed acutely before resistance training can impair strength and hypertrophy adaptations to a greater than degree than lifting acutely before a cardio session can impair endurance adaptations.
I'm over the micromanaging of diet and exercise. I do naturally gravitate toward cardio before weights but that may just be out of habit. I suspect any benefit of one way vs the other is insignificant and not worth worrying about. Sustainability over the long term is what I strive for.
I feel the same. It’s miserable to live like that and it’s unsustainable! You can eat well enough, put in a good amount of exercise each week to stay healthy and look good. By itself, the lack of stress from over-worrying about your diet and workouts is enough of a plus to make a positive difference in your overall well-being!

I find it difficult to believe that no one has commented on the 3 min. 10 sec. hang time. People simply have no idea how difficult that is. Put it this way, 99% of the best athletes in their 20s, ever bar masters, could not hang for 3 minutes. Kudos to you Dr. Peter Attia.
Can you clarify the statement that you always do cardio before strength training, because doing the opposite impairs strength training gains? I have always thought the opposite, in that doing cardio prior to strength training fatigues you and limits strength training performance. Thanks!
It all depends on your goal. If your goal is cardio then do that first then lift and vise versa. Remember you are an average punter with limited time. For pro athletes its completely different.
It has to be that he does strength before cardio... Strength before cardio is not going to limit strength gains lol... For me it many times affects my cardio
I'm not saying he's wrong, but how can one possibly have the same strength output after doing cardio? There's no way I can lift the same load being fatigued.
Would be great if Peter could clarify whether he really does cardio before strength - because the science definitely says strength before cardio (in most cases)
@@trismegistus3461 balance - explosiveness - speed - strength - stamina - endurance is the order that science has postulated for decades. In every single textbook on the matter. In every single trainer education material.
Yes, he must have misspoken, doing cardio before weights has been shown in research to reduce your intensity and power output during weight training. Recommendation is to first do whatever you are trying to improve the most, strength or cardio.
@@claytonmckeon9872 He actually says “I think the reverse has been demonstrated to erode strength training gains” so that suggests that he must have misspoken..?
I would like to know how people are expected to do so much zone 2 and 4 workouts and also lift weights? will this vid tell, as I am commenting at the beginning
4/4/2023 - Doc, when it comes to working out, you have it all wrong. I am 75; have been working out since 1978. Since August 2016, I went from working out every other day to working out every day; the difference in muscle mass was noticeable one month into the very day workouts. I start with a one mile "run" on the elliptical. Then, in the weights room, I do three sets of 10 exercises each: mostly upper body, one with free weights, bicep curl. The machine exercises include lateral lift for deltoids, lats pull-down, lats 60 degree pull-down, dips, chest pull, sit-down leg press, and three others the names of which I do not know. Working upper and lower body on alternating days is a myth. Just workout same body parts every day. I am 5'7" and weight 147, same as when I was 35. In total, I invest one hour total, seven days per week. Additionally, I play tennis twice per week. I eat red meat once per week, legumes six days per week, and salad three times per week; I replaced orange juice with lime juice which I squeeze fresh three times per week. In April 1971, while in the Army in Vietnam, I quit smoking. I do not drink alcohol of any kind. My BP is 125/80, pulse 50, steady. Cholesterol 175 controlled by Lipitor 10 mg every night. I am retired and I sleep 7 hours each night. I keep my brain fit by flying instrument approaches in my Piper Cherokee, reading appellate opinions, mentoring new lawyers, writing a book about my five most intriguing cases, I shoot pool, play golf in the summer, and read Wikipedia routinely. Any questions?
I'm sorry but for me, there is way too much minutia involved here and it takes away a lot of the enjoyment of exercise. I don't want to think this much. I appreciate the information, but I'll stick to basic cardio and strength work. I do mostly functional strength exercises, I don't want big muscles. My background is cardio (competitive distance runner) but at 68 I've had to dial it back a bit (knee replacements). I do brisk walking (15 to 16-minute pace) and one zone 5 day on the elliptical. I listen to Dr. Attia and take what appeals to me and use it. Hot/Cold therapy is one.
For me it's too much volume lifting, 4 days a week. I can't recover on more than 1 or 2 days a week as a middle aged dude. And gains are made during recovery, not during the sets themselves. It's fine to start by modeling this, but then listen to your body and make adjustments.
He seemed to gloss over the idea of doing cardio before weights. As far as I knew, it was always a bad idea to do cardio before weights. Did I hear him wrong?
@@OU-812 bad argument. He mentioned research and data. You don’t have to be a scientist to read the work a scientist or doctor did. Just ask for the research. If the research is good, it’s good. I shared a video of a doctor talking about masks one time and some Karen told me that it was inaccurate because I’m not a doctor. Stupid. As if I had to be a doctor for the video of a doctor to carry any weight.
Second favorite zone five. Triple super set compound exercise at 70% of max to failure, after completing a full zone two lifting session. Example bent over row, followed immediately by OHP, followed immediately by cleen-front-squat. All to failure. Feels like dying in the best way possible. 😂
Yes some do. For average punter, you dont need. Some people just want to experiment with bfr. All you need is decent strength and cardio. Basic stuff gets you a long way than hyped up bfr. Keep is simple stupid still holds true in anything.
Does occlusive pressure induce varicose veins? I train and tend to have awfully notorious veins, especially during the summer and high temperature...It might look sexy on Dr. Attia's muscles but certainly NOT on a woman...
This BFR stuff doesn't seem like a smart or necessary thing to be doing. Ask yourself if the body was designed in this way? No, it wasn't. Sounds like a good way to cause issues.
I love watching this as a 45 year old woman while being 50 pounds overweight, hung over and eating chocolate cake … three-finger, two-finger pull-ups, holy %&$#@!
Why doesn't Peter Atttia have former Mr.Olympia Dorian Yates in his podcast. He could give a primer on anabolic steroids, GH, insulin, IGF-1, thyroid hormones, building muscle, losing fat, losing fat while keeping muscle, fighting the LDL-raising effect of steroids, etc. It's one thing to have some nerd medical school graduate who never used any of these drugs talking about it; another is to have the king of metabolic-altering drugs that has used it all talking about it. Imagine Attia telling Dorian that GH is bad because "MTOR", because "long-lived have mutated GHR", because "raises blood sugar", and Dorian just: "Nah, mate, who gives a FK about living to 100 being a pencil-necked geek, and then having Alzheimer's? Live hard. Be strong. Be big. Die young but on top of your game. Have a great life. Quality over quantity, brah".
Way to complicated, eat real food ,get your heart rate up best way you can, start just walking. Stretch to your best ability.then add a few things in when do-able like ride a bike. It’s not that complicated, eat clean, get sleep and try to be active.
He knows his stuff but way to much of everything to the point that sometimes i can't listen to the end just imagine training like this. All do respect you don't need all this just half of what you do will get 95% of ppl to there genetic limit anything else is not necessary and if it would make a difference it might be 2 to 5% better results defiantly not worth it unless it mentally makes you feel better.
Where did you get this supposed "genetic limit"? And isn't Peter's whole thing optimization and longevity? His whole idea seems to be to absolutely kill it physically to age from a high peak if that makes sense since the body breaks down at a certain point you want that to start from the highest point possible for the most comfortable aging process with the most longevity. If I made any sense there. It is personal preference, though. The interviewer asked what Peter's routine is not what he recommends everyone else to do, necessarily.
@@Darian-- hi, yes his routine works for him but won't work for most. ppl won't be able to sustain this level of training and will give up. Just my opinion 2nd everyone has a genetic potential to do something but as we know there's lower and higher limits which usually makes you do what you do best,example someone that was always good at long distance running as a kid will gravitate towards long distance running not sprinting higher jumpers i guarantee you where good at high jumping in elementary or high school and followed through by learning the skill set the art if jumping but thats 10% max. Muscle fibers bones cartilage genetics make up the 90% of being the best. Top bodybuilders steroids or not always had that genetic look come easier to them then someone that does not genetically have it physically,mentally you could push to ur limits but not theirs if they out the same mental effort, they could take all the steroids in the world and won't make them a champion. I'm not that great in math physics etc. I will never be Ca or scientist i was good at one sport and i stayed with it for many years boxing the others i didn't because i wasn't good no matter how much i practiced got feed up and quit. So my body doesn't need to train 2 hours a day 5 times a week and I've done it got bored tired maybe also mentally tired and stopped, i wasn't made to do this my mind included. Then after a 4 year break i started training again 2x a week for 30min max each session and got back to the same shape i was in and then sum and been doing it for the last 5 years with out stopping boxing always part of the former and latter workouts. So i reach my limits without the extra time training maybe i would have gotten my body composition there a little faster but i wouldn't have continued training 5 days a week for 5 years . Genetics count for at least 85 to 90 % of everything.

2nd everyone has a genetic potential to do something but as we know there's lower and higher limits which usually makes you do what you do best,example someone that was always good at long distance running as a kid will gravitate towards long distance running not sprinting higher jumpers i guarantee you where good at high jumping in elementary or high school and followed through by learning the skill set the art if jumping but thats 10% max. Muscle fibers bones cartilage genetics make up the 90% of being the best. Top bodybuilders steroids or not always had that genetic look come easier to them then someone that does not genetically have it physically,mentally you could push to ur limits but not theirs if they out the same mental effort, they could take all the steroids in the world and won't make them a champion. I'm not that great in math physics etc. I will never be Ca or scientist i was good at one sport and i stayed with it for many years boxing the others i didn't because i wasn't good no matter how much i practiced got feed up and quit. So my body doesn't need to train 2 hours a day 5 times a week and I've done it got bored tired maybe also mentally tired and stopped, i wasn't made to do this my mind included. Then after a 4 year break i started training again 2x a week for 30min max each session and got back to the same shape i was in and then sum and been doing it for the last 5 years with out stopping boxing always part of the former and latter workouts. So i reach my limits without the extra time training maybe i would have gotten my body composition there a little faster but i wouldn't have continued training 5 days a week for 5 years . Genetics count for at least 85 to 90 % of everything.
