I remember a woman who used to run at quite a fast pace for a good amount of time every day; her husband used to ride behind her on the bicycle to time her. I used to see them because I was walking my dogs in that area at the time. Years later I was walking my dogs in the field close by when I spotted her and her husband coming into the field; she was bent over, walking at a snail's pace, and seemed very arthritic to me. She looked much older than her husband even though I knew they were of a similar age. I was pretty shocked, to say the least. When I eventually met up with them going around the field in the opposite direction, she said her knees were permanently damaged and she was in so much pain all the time that she had no quality of life. Her running days were clearly over! There's a lesson to be learned from her experience.

Absolutely love these podcasts. So informative. The presenter is great and his habit of reflecting back the info in his own words definitely helps me to remember it... keep up the good work Zoe! 😀

I like his manner of reflecting back too as it helps me double check I've understood.

When my husband was working at home during the pandemic he wasn't cycling to work. I encouraged him to do a 'post prandial perambulation' in other words a walk after lunch. Sometimes I would get him to buy milk, post a letter or similar to make sure he went out! We called it his ppp

HIIT is much more likely to cause injury, especially for older or less healthy people. I've had endless injuries from running and almost none from cycling or swimming. On a 3 hour bike ride I will hit all the zones at various times, from low intensity fat burning to high intensity anaerobic. Hills are my gym!

In my 20s I formed the habit of running up stairs whenever possible. This research explains why that was enough to maintain a pretty good level of residual fitness. I also cycle for convenience and pleasure; used to go running, started doing an hour's HIIT weekly in my 50s, now keeping up a few shorter sessions in my 60s. Medics are repeatedly surprised that I'm not yet on any regular medications. Sure, I can't go on this way forever, but so far so good!

Really enjoyed this, clear, warmly presented and interesting. Pre pandemic, I used to be a regular gym (classes) goer. I was doing spinning, kettlebells, circuits, yoga, pilates...then the pandemic hit and that was the end of that. I live back with my parents and due to my Dad's health we had to shield. It was a lot, and still is, to process wasn't it? My body went "where's my classes and friends?!" I live very rurally. Something inside me said whatever happens and however long this goes on for, every day you must get up, the moment you stay in bed when it gets too much and it did, you'll start to go down hill and I, like many, many people had no social contact or support face to face. I also said to myself everyday I must move my body/exercise, try to eat as well as I could and for once, I took my own advice. I also went into menopause just before the pandemic too. I realised that some classes like spinning and one of the tougher circuit classes weren't right for me now, but without being forced to stop them, I probably wouldn't have realised! Every day I did yoga (some types like Vinyassa, etc can be more cardio/sweaty and some very slow, gentle and meditative, like Yin) I'd bought two kettlebells previously from Lidl or Aldi so I found some KZread videos and hiked when I could. But I might sneak in a Tabata session once or twice a week after listening to this...the biggest change in my exercises is that I now do them alone...I'd like to change that. I can't afford to go back to the gym now (plus petrol to get there) but being out in nature, in any weather I just love so much, especially when I see wildlife...that was a bit long. Thank you for the space to write this!

Very informative podcast. Before COVID I used to work out maybe 3-4 times a week. But now I WFH I have the time and energy to work out every morning and to take my dog out for longer walks

I love these podcasts. Fantastic work. Just want to note that enjoyment of exercise was not mentioned i.e. finding something you enjoy doing.

Kettlebell workouts really work for me. Living in a small space, it fits just right in without needing any other equipment. Even with the adjustable dumbbells, I tend to like the kettlebell workouts more duo to focusing more into functional training than bodybuilding. This improves my grip strength and mostly my whole body without spending too much time exercising. It also helps me get better with doing everyday things. 3 times a weeks is already enough, working as a nurse is already taxing to my body and mind but I still encourage my self to exercise to maintain my body and mind.

I know this kind of an intro for beginners, but there should be a discussion related to the benefits associated with mixing low intensity and high intensity cardio. There are unique benefits to low intensity training (mostly Zone 2) as well as benefits for high intensity cardio (VO2 Max) and if you're trying to get the most benefit you should really be trying to engage in both.

Great video. Just one question: when you say "improve fitness", do you mean the VO2 max? How is fitness exactly defined?

As well as intense weight training, I love HIIT whilst wearing a sports mask, so as to reduce oxygen/simulate high altitude. Would love to hear Javier's/Zoe's take on this.

I did wonder how gym based approach to fitness compared to just having activity built into your daily life. I don't "exercise" as a separate thing, but I walk and cycle for miles (as I don't drive), and do quite a lot of gardening as a hobby which often includes a lot of lifting and carrying. Not as intense as sprinting for two minutes, but I do normally spend at least an hour a day walking (often a lot more as my allotment is three miles away!).

This channel is amazing!!! No negative comments

More isn't necessarily better than less because the more exercise you do the higher your risk of injury. And it is better to do no exercise than to be injured by it because the injuries can be permanent damage to your body and will impair your ability to exercise in the future.

The encouragement that only a little exercise helps a lot is great to get people started, but unfortunately I feel like people often take the wrong message like "oh I walked up the stairs today, there's my handful of minutes a week that they talked about!" when in reality the high-intensity training should be in addition to a strong base of activity (for example, at least 7500 steps/day) and paired with dietary control or unfortunately for most people it will lead to a continued downward spiral of health, even if the spiral is slowed. Obviously making appropriate modifications for physical capability. But it's far too easy mentally to use such guidance as a "cheat code" when in actuality hard work is needed (smart work, of course, which is what the video suggests). I'd also recommend if at all possible to find SOMETHING you find fun in your exercise, and if you don't to change your exercise. The host sounds fairly miserable (fair play to him for the admission) and maybe it's because that's training at the gym with a trainer (potentially costly and certainly time consuming unless the gym is next door). Maybe others can find joy in brisk walks listening to audiobooks or music, or joining friends, or beating past personal records whatever they may be. Excellent video! < 3

That's what I always believed. Go workout even on bad days. Do a little oftentimes I feel better and end up working out harder. Hiit, lift weights and 1 hour cardio, each 3/wk.

Thanks very much - this was great.

I’ve been taking bisoprolol for familial hypertension and I now don’t get of breath even though I do HITT training, spinning and boot camp ( and weight training).

Do be aware that you can do permanent damage if you keep triggering post exertion symptom exacerbation. Boom and crash is not a route to recovery. You should particularly avoid aerobic exercise. Stretches and strengthening for short times are more likely to be safe, especially lying down, provided you avoid PESE. Workwell foundation has good research on lowered VO2 max in ppl with LC, including that it worsens on the second day of testing. The opposite is true of healthy controls. Same for ME.

This is very basic advice. There's no mention of the fact that too much HIIT exercise is stressful o the body, and shouldn't be done every day. HIIT releases cortisol, which actually encourages our bodies put on fat around the waist.

Like the other comment, a sauna will cause your heart rate to go up and can provide some benefits similar to cardio. If I’m sore from workouts, dealing with an injury, or don’t have enough energy to workout I try to force myself to get to the gym and at least sit in the sauna. I don’t have experience with these, but some other ideas are an arm bike where you’re basically pedaling a machine with your arms like a bike. Swimming with a float pad holding your legs up so your arms are doing all the work.

VO2 max is a combination of slow and fast twitch muscle fiber and will reach a plateau when only the fast twicht is activated.

Putting on muscle at your age is quite difficult, so movements you cannot already complete may remain out of reach, but everything I have listened to or read says that the important thing is to stay active and keep moving. You need to work out your personal limit and what gets your heart going (around 100bpm at your age) and what is the most difficult thing you can do. For example, maybe your limit is a brisk walk up a hill, well then do that. Maybe you can't complete a full squat but you can get up from a low chair, well make sure you set of 15 of them each day. Look up functional exercises for elderly people, then if these are too difficult, look up supported versions of these exercises. VO2 max is important, but for quality of life, so is being able to pick something up off the floor. If you don't use it, you lose it.

First, if you're over weight, even just 5 kg or so, you should focus on losing weight. You can do this by simple caloric deficit if you can't keep your activity level high. At your age, a shift from overweight to a more optimal weight will help tremendously with mobility, during which you should do what you can, and ease slowly into any exercise routine. Don't do it every day, and don't do it to the point of total exhaustion. Try to add as much as you can without risking injury, this can literally be the as simple as taking a walk and trying to slowly increase your walking speed. Don't overcomplicate it, and be highly cognizant of things that cause pain.

I just can't believe that you are forcing yourself 3 times a week into the gym without enyoing it. What a waste of lifetime. Is there nothing else you might enjoy that involves physical activity? Like walking on a hill to get a tea on top, or get a small garden and plant vegetables, whatever. Something that give you sense. I for myself hate gyms and exercise also, but I do a lot of sport by doing most of the transportation in my life by bike and also climbing, mountaineering and doing nasty things with my two kids, like climbing on trees, building the highest kiddy-swing of the city or similar stuff.

While I agree you should strive to find exercise to do that you enjoy, if you're struggling to find something sustainable that you do enjoy, you should never compromise your health for a little bit of personal enjoyment. A few hours a week of doing something you don't particularly enjoy to potentially add 10+ years to your healthspan is no-brainer. Especially when you consider how much time we waste doing dumb things with that time anyway. Also, let's be clear, just walking up a hill or doing a little bit of gardening work is not enough to maintain your cardiovascular health or strength. You need to do a heck of a lot more than that and you should be pretty cognizant of the amount of exercise you're doing and whether or not that's adequate for your personal goals. Just doing whatever willy-nilly won't work for most.

What I don't get is people considering "exercise" like a bitter pill to swallow. Isn't it such a treat and great fun to go out for a trail run, jog in your neighberhood at 5AM, or even just hike (carrying your kids if needed)?

My ambition when I started running was just to feel good, and if I can lose 1kg it would be perfect, while maintaining the same diet, which I thought would be pretty easy to lose. Fast forward 13 sessions (3-3.5km running each session, + 3 km walking extra on top), Today I stood on scales, and almost fainted to see 51kg, so I actually gained after all my efforts.

Generally , HIT would be regarded as something like 30 seconds as hard and fast as you can go (ie a “sprint “) followed by 1.5/2 minutes slow (just moving but nothing more), with somewhere between 3 and 8 cycles ( depending on the level you’ve reached) and with a heart monitor on. Andrew Marr decided, after a long and stressful day with inadequate fluid intake, to come home late and attempt 5k in 20 minutes on his rowing machine. Went into his stroke, ignored it and went to bed. He had also ignored the signs/ symptoms of an earlier stroke which showed up later on MRI. To compare his folly with the benefits of HIT performed correctly is not comparing like with like.

It seems so obvious. Relative VO2max requires you to do allot of work. Since it is related to weight.....you must not be way to heavy.

And what is "cardio" really... isn't it anything that increases the heart rate to a certain point for long or short periods??

Aerobic is better than anaerobic….. but HIIT is better than long slow steady…. Surely the HIIT is anerobic……?

The host interupts so much that it disrupts the flow of the the conversions. He also doesnt ask more probing questions to advance the conversation but just repeats what the guest just says or makes general comments that dumb down the conversation by two levels.

I think this is targeted towards people who haven’t considered this knowledge before. His questions have a particular person in mind so they are useful for that target. And I find it good to reinforce the information so that I go beyond understanding and remember fluently too.

Are we reading again?

Id much rather get this info in way more detail and much better presented by peter attia.

A world expert at his age? No , don’t over inflate people . Expert I can agree.

Anyone who says strength training isn’t cardio has never done a sled push.

Only half-a-dozen cups of tea?

Quit simple: you must be able to catch the bus.

I'm not sure i like the host pretending to be completely lacking in any knowledge about what cardio is. I think it makes the whole thing come across a bit children's TV...
