    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!

    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.

    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.

  • @Shevock

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?

      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.
