would walking 10k plus steps a day count as exercise? or would it need to be aerobic/resistance training

2-3 days of exercise offers notable benefits for brain function and metabolism, but heart needs more regular activity. 4-5 days of exercise per week appears to be the sweet spot for keeping the heart youthful, helping prevent tissue shrinkage and stiffness that come with aging. Regular exercise isn’t just about fitness; it maintains the heart’s structural strength and health. Frequent exercise keeps the heart flexible, elastic, and resilient. It's not just about occasional intense workouts, but about creating a sustained pattern of movement throughout one's life.

Sounds like I’ve gotta get my days in the gym up to four at least!

Troop1 year ago

I follow @DYNutrition (Dorian Yates) routine. 4 days a week of resistance training 3 days a week (at least) of some form of cardio on days I'm not lifting weights, usually jump rope. 6 days a week was too much to adhere to, so the former is perfect for me. Simple & effective

Two years of vigorous exercise reversed about 20 years of structural heart aging in sedentary 50-year-olds By gradually building to 5–6 hours/week of training, participants reversed the shrinking and stiffening that comes with age The protocol: • Norwegian 4x4 intervals (once per week initially, later twice per week, eventually back to once per week) • Recovery aerobics (20–30 min. light exercise on days following intervals) • Endurance sessions (1+ hr. endurance training, plus a 30-min. base pace session weekly) • Strength training twice weekly The takeaway: even at 50, the heart can regain size and flexibility with enough structured training

What if simply sitting in a sauna could supercharge the benefits of exercise? Dr. Jari Laukkanen’s research shows that people who exercise and use the sauna have lower a all-cause mortality than those who only exercise Even more compelling? Studies reveal that adding sauna sessions to aerobic exercise boosts cardiorespiratory fitness beyond exercise alone The optimal dose: At least two sessions per week for benefits, with four or more linked to a staggering 40–50% drop in cardiovascular and all-cause mortality And the best part? You don’t need extreme heat—just 175°F for 20 minutes is enough to unlock powerful benefits

Exercise helps prevent the stiffening of your heart with age by improving glucose regulation Glucose that lingers in your vascular system reacts with proteins like collagen, forming advanced glycation end products (AGEs) that make your heart and blood vessels stiffer with age This process is accelerated in conditions like type 2 diabetes, leading to earlier cardiovascular problems Vigorous exercise is especially effective at enhancing glucose control, protecting your heart and keeping it flexible over time

Exercise can lower your blood pressure as effectively as medication A meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials found that 20-60 minutes of moderate to vigorous activity, 3-4 days a week, over just 6 weeks, can yield antihypertensive effects comparable to drugs The key is effort and consistency—no shortcuts here And if you’re willing to put in the work, the benefits of exercise go far beyond just lowering your blood pressure

Your age isn't how you look. Or a blood test. Or your grip strength. It's how well you move. Young is as young does. The killer of youth is loss of mobility. Maintaining mobility and functional strength should be everyone's top priority. Here's how: 1) Move a lot: Fitness isn't hitting the gym a few times a week—it's a lifestyle. Walk 20+ miles/week, do lots of mobility exercise, and find a functional activity (a sport) that you love and pursue it for life. Lift once a week, using mostly body weight exercises. 2) Be multi-dimensional: There's more to fitness than strength and "cardio". Too many people ignore other critical dimensions—especially mind-body aspects like balance and coordination. 3) Get outside: Do most of your exercise outside, in nature and direct sunlight.

Channel 4 News is inside one of many warehouses filled with tonnes of aid that the Israeli authorities are not letting through to Gaza. It's estimated that there is enough aid for 150 trucks per day, five days per week for three months to help Palestinians. We have reached out to the Israeli government for a response.

No pharmeceutical can rival exercise when it comes to slowing the aging process - particularly the aging brain. A large-scale trial investiated th effect of aerobic exercise (running, cycling) on cognition in the 20- to 67-year age range. Here’s what they found: Better thinking skills as you age: Exercise helped people’s executive function - that’s your brain’s ability to manage tasks, plan, and focus. Thicker brain cortex, regardless of age: • Higher cognitive reserve- aiding task flexability and improvisation • Resilience against brain aging and neurodegenerative disease • Improved neural plasticity, essential for lifelong learning and skill acquisition • Bolsters emotional regulation Real-world Application: The way the workouts were implemented could be a practical recommendation for improving brain health for the general public. Consistency is key: participants exercised about 40 minutes, four times a week for six months. Gradually increasing effort: they started easy (55-65% max heart rate) and slowly increased their workout intensity (65%-75% max heart rate). Monitoring progress: using heart rate monitors helped them stay in the desired exercise intensity. Flexibility: participants could choose the exercise (running or cycling) they preferred and set their schedules. #everydayoctober

The best exercise schedule & program for you needs to be build on the answer to “how many days a week will I train hard & consistently, for the next 3-5 years.” (Then update accordingly). For me the answer was/is 3 days a week; 34 years down. And counting. But you do you.

Exercise IS THE LONGEVITY & LIFE BIOHACK So many people only think about exercise as a way to burn calories & look leaner, but exercise is SO much more than that Exercise lowers the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) & cancer independent of weight loss (PMIDs: 21673488, 31758975, & 32741068) Exercise improves symptoms of depression with a MASSIVE effect size of 1.7 (for reference SSRIs have an ES of about 0.5) (PMID: 37429171) Exercise improves your brain’s sensitivity to satiety signals helping with appetite control (PMIDs: 36998025 & 30131457) Exercise improves insulin sensitivity independent of weight loss (PMID: 24454364) And the dosage required to get benefits is not big at all, in fact it’s ridiculously small. Just ~4 minutes of vigorous physical activity per day decreases the risk of getting cancer by ~20% (PMID: 37498576) & 50 minutes of resistance training per week was all that was needed to decrease the risk of depression in the previously cited study It doesn’t take hours per day. You may not have hours but you’ve got 4 MINUTES! Now is the time to drastically improve your life, physical, & mental health. Get after it 👊 From my convo with Dr. John Delony on his podcast
