      Its not just 20 minutes of cardio. It's interval training with intense 3-5 minute intervals, which is longer than traditional interval training intervals. He does not define "intense" but I would think intense can be defined as getting closer to the 80% of the standard 60-80% of max HR range.

    While resistance training primarily focuses on building muscle strength and size, it can also have some positive effects on cardiovascular fitness, including improving VO2 max (the maximum amount of oxygen your body can utilize during intense exercise). Here's how resistance training can potentially contribute to increasing VO2 max:Metabolic Adaptations: Resistance training can increase muscle mass and metabolic efficiency, leading to improvements in overall metabolism. As muscles become more efficient at utilizing energy, they may also become more efficient at utilizing oxygen, which can contribute to improvements in VO2 max.Elevated Heart Rate: Intense resistance training can elevate your heart rate similar to cardiovascular exercise, especially during high-intensity or circuit-style resistance workouts. This increased heart rate over time can contribute to improvements in cardiovascular fitness, including VO2 max.Interval Training: Some forms of resistance training, such as circuit training or high-intensity interval training (HIIT) with weights, can incorporate cardiovascular elements. These workouts involve alternating between periods of intense resistance exercises and short rest periods, which can help improve cardiovascular fitness and potentially increase VO2 max.CrossFit and Functional Training: CrossFit and other forms of functional training often combine resistance exercises with cardiovascular movements, such as sprints, jumps, and plyometrics. These types of workouts can effectively improve both muscle strength and cardiovascular fitness, potentially leading to improvements in VO2 max.While resistance training can contribute to improvements in VO2 max, it's essential to note that traditional cardiovascular exercise, such as running, cycling, or swimming, typically produces more significant increases in VO2 max compared to resistance training alone. Therefore, incorporating a combination of resistance training and cardiovascular exercise into your workout routine is likely to yield the most comprehensive improvements in overall fitness, including VO2 max. 🏋🏻‍♀️ 🏃‍♂️👌 🙏

    That is so dense advice on longevity exercise in one video. Very good. Thank you.
    I would just add, do that and don't get injured.
    Because when you do your HI intervals on a bicycle on the street and a car hits you, you're gonna be supersedentary, at least for a while.
    There are ways to cycle a lot, removed from the traffic, in most cities. Good to find tjose for people who cycle.
    Same for runners, be aware of your surfaces to not rip a tendon. Weight lifting too. Know how to do the exercises quite correctly, so you don't get rekt.
    Sometimes of course, you are cautious enough and still have an accident, but good to manage risk.

    @universeusa Місяць тому +8

    Yes, cycling uphill can improve your VO2 max. Uphill cycling is a form of high-intensity aerobic exercise that challenges your cardiovascular system and engages large muscle groups, particularly the legs and glutes. When cycling uphill, you're required to work harder against gravity, which increases the demand for oxygen to your muscles.This increased demand for oxygen stimulates adaptations in your cardiovascular system, including improvements in aerobic capacity and VO2 max. Over time, consistent uphill cycling workouts can lead to enhanced oxygen utilization efficiency and cardiovascular fitness.Uphill cycling is especially effective for improving VO2 max because it combines both aerobic and resistance elements. The resistance against gravity adds an extra challenge to your cardiovascular system, similar to strength training, while the sustained aerobic effort builds endurance and increases oxygen uptake capacity.To maximize the benefits of uphill cycling for improving VO2 max, aim to incorporate it into your workout routine regularly, gradually increase the intensity and duration of your uphill rides, and vary the terrain to challenge yourself. Additionally, combining uphill cycling with other forms of aerobic exercise and strength training can provide a well-rounded approach to improving overall fitness and cardiovascular health. 👏👏👏👏🏃‍♂️ 🚴‍♀️🏃‍♂️🚴‍♀️🏋🏻‍♀️ ✅🙏

    The key takeaways from Thomas DeLauer's analysis on the best exercises for longevity, based on a review of nine major studies, are:
    1. **High VO2 Max is Essential for Longevity:** A high VO2 max is strongly linked with longer life. Activities that improve VO2 max are crucial.
    2. **Combination of HIIT and Continuous Cardio:** Both high-intensity interval training (HIIT) and continuous cardio are recommended to effectively increase VO2 max. Engaging in 3 to 5-minute intervals of such exercises for less than 60 minutes a week can significantly enhance longevity.
    3. **Running vs. Biking:** Running may increase VO2 max more efficiently due to its full-body engagement, but biking is highlighted as a more sustainable and less injury-prone option for many, making it equally valid for improving longevity.
    4. **Importance of Resistance Training:** Resistance training, at least one to two days per week, complements cardiovascular efforts and further reduces all-cause mortality risk. Even 30 to 60 minutes of resistance training weekly is beneficial.
    5. **Walking Matters:** Regular walking, aiming for 10,000 steps a day, is associated with a significantly lower risk of all-cause mortality. Walking reduces sedentary time, which is another factor negatively impacting lifespan.
    6. **Yoga for Longevity:** Yoga not only helps reduce stress but also positively affects several biomarkers related to longevity, including reducing inflammation and DNA damage, making it an important component of a holistic exercise regimen.
    7. **Holistic Approach to Exercise:** A balanced exercise routine incorporating HIIT, continuous cardio, resistance training, walking, and yoga, tailored to individual preferences and sustainability, is the most effective strategy for enhancing longevity according to current scientific evidence.
    In essence, DeLauer advocates for a diverse, scientifically backed approach to physical activity that focuses on enhancing cardiovascular health, reducing sedentary behavior, managing stress, and maintaining muscle strength as key components of living a longer, healthier life.

    wanna add some remarks about the effects of those items:
    VO2max: (1) you need the reserves once you get sick (2) VO2max training creates oxygen flooding in all tissues not directly involved in the work
    resistance training : good strength training creates a good mind-body-connection : less falls. strong muscles are important for modulating the immune system via IL6. resistance training makes stem cells moving around and keeping stem cells happy
    walking : reducing visceral fat, facilitating lymph drainage, development of senses
    yoga : (1) the brutal isometrics lower the blood pressure, (2) flexibility + mobility drills keep the cartilages in use and ventilated, (3) improved balance : less falls (4) keeps stem cells on the move (5) breath exercises keep the lung flexible and develop tolerance for low oxygen conditions

    Do you want to live longer? Be skinny. All the people that have lived until over 100 have been slim throughout their entire lives. Don't gain lots of fat or muscle. Don't run ultra marathons. People that lived into their 100's never did. The first part was interesting as it corresponded to how hunter gatherer men work, as in lots of walking and short bursts of speed. And those guys are ripped even though they don't do "weight training". My grandmother lived until 93. Smoked 60 cigarettes a day. Skinny. My grandfather was a big powerful man. Died at 61. So what is our take away from this. For longevity it seems like calorie restriction seems better than lots of calories, regardless of how much exercise you get. The muscles may look good but when you die younger than a person that has never exercised and smokes sixty a day, you have to wonder if there is more to this subject than meets the eye. Just a thought.

    Good topic as usual. Everyone of your regular viewers know that there are several things that increase longevity. However, longevity strategies are not equal; there is a hierarchy; and they are stackable. VO2 max ranks at the top of the longevity hierarchy, and according to the current data, there is no upper limit to the benefits. Followed by muscle retention or avoiding sarcopenia. Followed by Cell/DNA repair time (intermittent feeding). I do all three every day. I'm 65 and VO2 max is hard in the beginning when working hard to make improvements, however, once a certain level is reached the maintenance is a lot less effort in times per week required to maintain that level.

    Runners and cyclists train in blocks. 1st is base which is mostly aerobic and zone 2. Then after building base add in threashold zone 3-4 and keep 2 days of zone 3. Then race phase add in V02 max, a threshold or race and 1 day zone 2. Then peak phase is the most important races and is mostly V02 and revovery days. The body doesn't improve if your doing same week after week all year. So your training in March should not be same as June. Then after peak season there is off season mostly where 2 weeks nothing. Then add weights cross training and 2-3 zone 2 days.

      It’s the quality of life before you die. Someone that will die at 65 is almost dead at 61. Being almost dead will suck.
      No matter how many years you live, it the last few will likely suck. But, the years before you’re almost dead will be much better.

    It's interesting that what I have scheduled for a basic fitness plan seems to fit this: resistance training at least 2x per week, 3x 3 mile walks, and sprints or sports 2 to 3x that mimic HIIT. Not sitting for more than 3 hours/day - that will take some creativity given the job.

I want to start working out, but all these programs are way beyond my ability. I have started walking daily, I have this great bike I really want to ride but my core is so weak I lose my balance. Please give me a suggestion on how to strengthen my core enough to do the rest.
    I have searched you tube and I am not in a wheelchair, so these lift 1 lb barbells is silly as my upper body is still comfortable at a 50lb lift. Anyone?

      They are doing exactly that. Obesity isn't just from the food being tastier and more convenient to get, people aren't moving as much. They are urging people to just do the minimum effort and showing these studies as the benefits of doing so. Unfortunately people aren't doing the minimum, they would rather Netflix and munch... I mean it is possible to Netflix and treadmill/elliptical/stationary bike.. but mindlessly munching down an extra 700 calories in snacks sounds much better to them.

      @@davidgeoghegan68personally, my takeaway on these pieces, particularly the more in depth ones, is to view it as an outline, then utilize the main points as guidelines that suit my personal life, my status, constraints and requirements.
      I have been attempting to incorporate as much of the info that I’ve cross-sectioned with other info sources (to improve validity) for about the past 1 1/2-2 years. But my constraints are my age - I’m a senior - and my physical limitations - I have advanced osteoarthritis in several joints.
      For exercise, I can do cardio but am limited mostly to exercise on an elliptical along with some calisthenics, isometrics and light resistance. I also “walk” my dog for about 3-4 miles a day. This in itself is a mix of cardio and antagonistic exercise as he is a handful while “walking.”
      Learning more from sources like this, I’ve gradually modified the routine mainly on the elliptical where I now have reduced the duration from 55 to 45 minutes, increased the speed and resistance, and now have HIIT and knees-over-toes exercises interspersed through the routine.
      Exercising on an elliptical - especially HIIT - is much kinder on my joints compared to sprinting/running/jogging and is much kinder to my spine and doesn’t carry the potential risks that are inherent to cycling. None of these sources ever mentions exercise on an elliptical - ever. If I were to treat the information like a prescription, I wouldn’t be exercising. Instead, as a guideline, I’ve tailored the information to fit me personally.
