Caveat: unless your exercise program consists of Pop Tart lifts from plate to mouth.

The most wisdom from YT health videos in just about ever.

Not really... you have to consider the Law Of Accomodation.

I think you meant “necessity”, man

I was just going to make a similar point. I loved so many of the guest's points...health as part of our lives...as part of basic hygiene..not an add-on. So many nuggets of wisdom!

Not like Peter Attia then, I really enjoyed his book, but the YT videos are just an exercise in trying to make himself feel above the rest of us.

Rhonda is an AMAZING interviewer.😊

Very good 👍

It doesnt take yrs to adapt to any exercise stimulus and sweatong isnt a measure of exercise intensity

​@@scarred10 If your exercise program is too intense and you don't get enough recovery time in between workouts - then your body will never fully adapt to your exercise routine. You will always be in a state of "trying to recover" and this is when people are basically "overtraining". I did that a lot when I was younger. So, at around 51, I started a very simple exercise routine of just a few pushups and some bodyweight squats and some lunges. Took only about 10 minutes to accomplish and I was just beginning. Now, at 54, my exercise program is much more intense with many different exercises and it can sometimes take 90 minutes. But it has taken me a few years of changing the routine up to get me from my simple 10 minute routine to my 90 minute routine. And it took months/years for my core and tendons and muscles to all get strong and flexible enough to exercise in the manner that I do today. And a few weeks ago, I started to do multiple exercises - one right after another - kinda like supersets... and I really started to sweat as my cardio got challenged more. But it definitely did take me a few years of constant progression to go from where I was on day 1- a complete, newbie... to where I am today. I am a totally different animal today... much stronger, a lot more muscle and I'm pretty flexible. I am much more athletic and stronger than I was from the ages 35 to 50 years old... And I'm still improving and getting stronger... so, what I'm saying is - it takes time and patience for 50+ folks to "totally turn into a different animal" vs. day 1. And yes, the profuse sweating I experience during today's workouts is definitely a measure of increased overall cardio intensity. It just took me a few years to embrace the more intense workouts and my body is totally OK with them, now. I NEVER would have wanted to engage in such intense workouts over the past 2.5 years... My body just said, "we are ready to do this." So I did. Everyone is different. This was my specific journey. AMAZING results can be obtained over 50 if folks are patient with their progress.

My approach was very similar 2-3 years ago. I started with just walking, then gradually adding in some light running. Last year I did my first 50K, aged 60, and I now include interval training. But the base was Z2 and progressing slowly. It's nice to be able to run 15-20 miles and not feel exhausted. I happened to lose 15kg along the way and am back to a healthy weight.

@@st4331 Wow! That is some serious cardio - congrats! I currently can't imagine doing that type of distance, lol!😯 I was walking, as well, a few years ago and even power walking for 45 minutes, etc. And my doctor had said walking was the best exercise. But, I eventually felt like "something was missing". I was a good walker but not physically strong - nor muscular and I didn't really raise my heart rate too much at any point in time. The walking was nice and def. good for me but it eventually can become somewhat boring as that was all I was doing month after month... and I didn't really see big changes to my body after months of doing it. But, with calisthenics and some weights and walking, and walking stairs and some trampoline stuff - and a lot of variations of exercises... things really start to change dramatically over time - even over the age of 50 which I never thought was possible without a strict diet and serious dedication. I think people need to just "get started" at very low levels like you and I both did... And don't work too hard. And I had ZERO expectations when I started the calisthenics, etc. .. But, then with consistency - your body starts to kinda tell you it "wants more challenges"... Like there is a voice inside you that pushes you over time... or maybe I'm just possessed, LOL! Keep up the great work - your information/story inspires me to improve my cardio even more over time - Thanks!👍

@@SynerstarHealthOver50 Thanks; planning another 50K in September. My main motto now is consistency; making sure I keep this up for many more years.

Yup going heavy in the gym is not good, both for joints and also for prostate health, it puts too much stress on prostate gland

My mom's friend is 82 and just completed a marathon. It all depends on how you train, nutrition and mind.

This is not true of every senior. There are seniors running marathons, competing in iron man competitions, and bodybuilding. Nothing in diet and exercise is a "one-size-fits-all".

I remember Seb Coe saying that he realised that however much more training he did next season, he would be slower due to his age. He was 32 years old!

@@HarryFenton6124 It's just the human process of fitness. IF a person has very low CARDIO fitness, yes you need to improve here BUT after some level of fitness is obtained for you specifically, you are really in maintenance mode really just keeping your level of fitness over time. -- Yes there will be ups and downs along your fitness training but keep pushing and injuries ~will occur.. Then what? Many quit.

I've always thought this was true for the bodybuilding style of training, too. The videos, or articles, regarding training your muscles this way always state what to do to keep getting bigger. And I've always thought, how can you keep getting bigger? There is a limit, so now you're just gaining or losing fat to make it look different.

@@marcd1981 bodybuilders are so desperate for any gains at all that they’re willing to do anything to get just one more pound of muscle. Same with powerlifters who will do anything to get just a few more pounds of weight on the bar. in reality progress pretty much stops at a certain point, but these guys can’t accept that. With that said, I can understand wanting a little bit more progress if you’re in a very highly competitive field, like bodybuilding or powerlifting. For the average person, however, it’s much healthier to reach a certain point (usually after 4-5 years of consistent lifting) and then maintain your gains instead of continually pushing your body for just a little bit more.

It depends on what you’re looking to achieve doesn’t it. VO2 max for example is most likely going to include performance training.

@@zepho100 Up to a point. For longevity purposes, 49-50 ml/kg/min is a point of diminishing return.

@@alterego157 Maintaining is the key for longevity, as you cannot climb the performance as you get older. Diminishing returns when you’re trying to increase, also somewhat when maintaining - though there’s no choice.

That’s why boxers do interval training. My coach used to make us sprint between every other telephone pole.

Yep and we do lots of HIT body weight work outs based on rounds to.

At 80 with almost 63 years of drug free weight training in addition to Martial arts in my younger adult life. I've actually lives a life of dedicated training. And everyone says it's apparent by my appearance. Unlike the experts who haven't walked the walk. Mostly just hot air and theories. I know which is the best training for a healthy and strong life and old age!

@@olderthanyoucali8512 You go! I have found what works for me is more strength workouts. I love to workout! It's my zen!

Shouldn't be super easy @

If its that short it needs to be bery difficult

i think his meant that body gives lower response to same routine

I thought that as well, that your body does adapt to doing the same thing over and over by not getting stronger or fitter, because you aren't pushing your limits.

I’m older than that and work all intensities and durations from tabatas to 72 hour races. If you’re getting off the couch you should probably get checked out first and start with moderate intensity. But if you’re healthy being 55+ shouldn’t stop you. And doing it gives you best chance to stay healthy longer.

If you’ve never done anything like the 4x4 before then you don’t have to start there You could do 4x1 or 1x4 or even do the 4x4 but keep your HR at 75% rather than 85-95% & build it up Just start wherever you are currently at

@@simonshakespeare82 Thanks for the info. Just was wondering if we took two healthy 60 year olds that currently do steady cardio and one of them were to start doing 4/4’s. Of course working up to it. I would imagine the heart attack incidents would be higher in the older individuals who push themselves the hardest. Must be a study somewhere lol. Thanks again for your reply! Aloha 🤙🤙

@@wahiawamang6622 you’d have to take into account that 85-95% of maximum for a 60 year old is around 135-150bpm which looks a lot different to someone in their 30’s I understand what you’re saying but if done properly & within your means & built up correctly you could argue it will lessen heart attack chance since it improves V02 & V02 is very closely correlated to improving all cause mortality & there are multiple studies showing this

I would ease into it.

Yeah, but I find that 20 seconds hard followed by Knees over Toes movements for 12 minutes wearing a weighted vest bla bla bladee bla.

Thank you!

Once a week, imo. But I am nobody. Just most training programs for running are designed like that so that's what I do.

if you do an online search there is a link to him on google scholar and his page at his uni

It states that already, what was your point?

It's the maximum intensity that you can sustain for four minutes.

I was thinking the same thing.

RIP

​@@jeffreyjohnson7359 it's that!! 👍🏾

You can’t sprint for 4 minutes. The 4 minutes would be maintaining the maximum that you can for 4 minutes. You have to pace yourself

It has to be stressful to be a benefit but 1 session per week wont jave adverse effects.You certainly didnt get chronic fatigue from exercise

there are many ways to have strenght training. I think pilates is underrated. Now, its not the same to have strenght training for health purposes or for performance. Pilates may be enough, there are some exercises in pilates that aren't easy. Nobody talks right now about swimming. You have in swimming aerobic exercise and some resistance training.

The more accurate term is resistance training, not strength training.

The video is about cardiovascular health,not strength

Therrs np danger of hurting joints or ligaments .

Thank you, thank you thank you. I keep saying the same thing over and over and comments on presentations and declarations like this. It’s all too generalized.

Do you think you'd be able to exercise so hard that it's dangerous?

People think I'm natty but I'm not I skip lots of workouts

Then you drink til 4am or later tho.

thank you, brother.

I think it was The Seattle Times that sponsored a who was the best all around athlete contest and they had UW and Seattle pro athletes do it. The local hockey team the Thunderbirds won it hands down. They even out pulled the Seahawks contingent in the tug of war. It’s an amazing sport.
