Using a sauna simulates many of the benefits of aerobic exercise Like a workout, it increases heart rate, raises core temperature, and helps regulate blood pressure afterward While it’s no substitute for regular exercise, sauna bathing can aid training and offer a powerful option for those unable to exercise, such as the elderly or those in recovery

How and why do I use the sauna as an endurance athlete? There's some compelling evidence that using post-exercise sauna can enhance improvements in aerobic fitness, plasma volume, and exercise performance in the heat and in temperate conditions. I use it 2-3x per week after my run (or strength training session) for 20-30 minutes. The closer to the end of exercise the better. Oh - it also just feels good for the brain and body. I chatted about my protocol with Dr. Rhonda Patrick on her latest episode where we distill training and nutrition advice from previous experts she's hosted on her podcast. YouTube link in the next post.

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

Outside of exercise and nutrition, deliberate heat exposure is perhaps the most powerful longevity intervention In Finnish observational studies, sauna use 4–7x/week was linked to: • 63% lower risk of sudden cardiac death • 50% lower cardiovascular mortality • 40% lower all-cause mortality • 66% lower risk of dementia The mechanism overlaps with exercise: heat stress raises heart rate, improves vascular function, and mimics some effects of moderate-intensity cardio And when sauna is added after aerobic exercise, studies show greater improvements in VO2 max, blood pressure, and lipids than exercise alone

Regular sauna use (4–7x weekly) is associated with a 50% lower cardiovascular-related mortality and a 40% lower all-cause mortality These benefits occur because heat exposure from sauna use closely mimics the physiological effects of moderate-intensity aerobic exercise Similar to a workout, sauna sessions raise your heart rate, boost core body temperature, increase blood flow, and induce sweating When combined with regular moderate exercise, sauna bathing provides additive benefits by further enhancing cardiorespiratory fitness, cholesterol levels, and blood pressure beyond exercise alone

Resistance training can have long-term benefits that last years. Even if you later quit. Just one year of high-intensity resistance training can preserve leg strength in older adults for three years after stopping—even as muscle mass declines. This surprising resilience suggests that the benefits of strength training extend far beyond muscle size, creating lasting neuromuscular adaptations that keep you strong long after the workouts end. In contrast, those who engaged in moderate-intensity training (body weight) or did not exercise experienced significant losses in both strength and functionality within the three years after training stopped. This suggests that resistance training could be crucial for maintaining muscular functionality later in life, perhaps due to lasting increases in neuromuscular components like acetylcholine receptors — an idea sometimes referred to as “muscle memory.” Dr. Layne Norton (Layne Norton, PhD) dives deep into these surprising findings in episode 94 of the FoundMyFitness podcast.

Aerobic exercise after intense resistance training promotes recovery and reduces soreness by increasing blood circulation and triggering growth and repair factors. This synergy results from the physiological advantages of aerobic exercise, primarily through improved blood circulation. This boosts oxygen and nutrient delivery to muscles for repair and growth, and aids in removing metabolic byproducts like lactic acid, reducing post-exercise soreness. Aerobic exercise not only facilitates muscle recovery through improved blood flow and nutrient delivery but also triggers the release of crucial biochemical agents like IGF-1 and BDNF, both vital for muscle repair.

Muscle strength is arguably one of the most important predictors of healthspan and longevity—far more than muscle mass alone. Low muscle strength is associated with a 50% higher risk of early death. The good news is that strength can be regained at any age through resistance training, even in your 90s. One study showed that 90-year-old participants increased their strength by 174%, walking speed by 48%, and thigh muscle mass by 9% after just 8 weeks of high-intensity resistance training (PMID: 2342214). This highlights that age-related strength loss is primarily a reversible decline in muscle quality—not just lost muscle mass. But there’s another key piece: protein. For older adults, consuming about 1.6g/kg of body weight in protein daily has been shown to maximize gains in both muscle strength and mass. Combining resistance training with adequate protein intake is a game-changer for improving biological resilience, mobility, and overall quality of life as we age. I cover all this and more in Episode 97: The Science of Protein. It’s a must-watch for anyone looking to improve their health or help loved ones do the same. Watch Episode 97 now:

Wall-Sit (or wall Squat) is one of the most effective exercises for lowering Blood Pressure (BP) ➡️Though all forms of exercises lower the BP, isometric exercises such as wall sit and planks are the best (overall) to lower the systolic and diastolic BP. ➡️The reductions in blood pressure after aerobic exercise training amounted to 4.49/ 2.53 mmHg; 4.55/3.04 mm Hg after dynamic resistance training; 6.04/2.54 mmHg after combined training; 4.08/2.50 mmHg after HIIT; and 8.24/4 mmHg after isometric exercise training. ✅Wall squats (isometric) and running (aerobic) were the most effective individual exercises for reducing systolic blood pressure (90.5%) and diastolic blood pressure (91%), respectively, with isometric exercise, overall, the most effective for reducing both blood pressure elements. You can start wall sit with 15-20 seconds duration and gradually increase to two minutes. Ideally you should do 4 sets of wall sits (2-minutes wall sits with two minutes rest in between sets); three times a week (on alternate days) for optimum benefits on blood pressure. Reference:

A person asks Sadhguru, “How much weight training exercise do you recommend?” And Sadhguru answers, “Weight training is not useful, but do 25-50 Surya-Namaskars, it is complete exercise.” First of all, I am not sure why anyone would ask someone like Sadhguru, who is most of the time, in another dimension, a question on exercise and weight training. And secondly, Sadhguru is just plain wrong. Weight (or strength) training is one of the most important aspects of exercise regimen you can include in your daily or 3-4 times a week physical activity because there is great science behind its benefits. I advise my obese or sarcopenic (very poor muscle mass in advanced liver disease) patients to include weight training to improve clinical outcomes. The highest level of scientific evidence showed that standard muscle-strengthening activities were associated with lower risk of death in patients with non-communicable diseases – including cardiovascular disease, diabetes and lung cancer. Another metanalysis showed strong evidence for a considerable risk reduction of strength training for 60 minutes a week, on all-cause death (−15%), cardiovascular disease death (−19%), and cancer death (−14%). See here: here Sadhguru says the older we get, the better we do not weight train. He is again absolutely wrong. The findings of another systematic review/metanalysis support power (strength) training as an effective therapeutic intervention for improving physical function in adults diagnosed with frailty (poor physical function in old age) and patients with chronic medical conditions. See here: In fact, another study on strength training, this one again a metanalysis, concluded that strength training interventions can be used as a non-drug treatment for hypertension (!), as they promote significant decreases in blood pressure. See here: Strength training also reduces significantly, chronic inflammation as shown in another high quality systematic review and meta-analysis. See here: Resistance/Strength training improved muscle mass and muscle strength, thereby improving performance status. Improved performance status is a wonderful benchmark for an active and healthy life. See here: Even in fatty liver disease, independent of weight loss, exercise training was associated with 3 and a half times more meaningful treatment response towards lowering liver fat. Strength training is a powerful tool to maintain liver health. See here: and here Now Surya Namaskar. Surya Namaskar or Sun Salutation is a sequence of around twelve yoga poses connected by jumping or stretching movements, varying somewhat between various Yoga schools – which means, it has no regulation or standardization unlike weight training. In Iyengar Yoga there is a way, in Ashtanga Vinayasa Yoga there is Type A and B and there are other types followed by other schools or Yoga teachers. Along with the stretching and jumping, which is done is a slow and steady manner, the practice includes chanting a “mantra” calling out twelve names of the Sun God. In its classical form, Surya Namaskar is not an exercise, and is not aerobic. The energy cost of exercise is measured in units of metabolic equivalent of task (MET). Less than 3 METs counts as light exercise; 3 to 6 METs is moderate; 6 or over is vigorous. American College of Sports Medicine and American Heart Association guidelines count periods of at least 10 minutes of moderate MET level activity towards their recommended daily amounts of exercise. For healthy adults aged 18 to 65, the guidelines recommend moderate exercise for 30 minutes five days a week, or vigorous aerobic exercise for 20 minutes three days a week. Surya Namaskar in its classical form has a measly 2.9 METs and in its rigorous form (some people perform mutated highly active forms of Surya Namaskar to make it feel like an exercise) can go up to 7.4 METs – which requires a lot of jumping and little stretching and no time to chant the Sun God names - does not even come close to strength training by any margin. Those who are part of the Surya Namaskar and Yoga cult would provide anecdotal experiences on its benefits (please see comment section) through non-classical forms and would call it an “exhilarating experience.” Experiences are not scientific, evidence are. Many Yoga journals and some dubious and third rate Ayurveda journals have also have published on such experiences in small group of patients, which are not validated or published in better journals [like this junk here: There are no metanalysis level data to prove effectiveness of Surya Namaskar as beneficial as aerobic exercise or better than strength training as Sadhguru claims. Do Surya namaskar if you are doing nothing. But upgrade to strength training if you want something. And stop listening to pseudoscience peddlers who speak religion and culture for your healthcare needs. Sadhguru suffers seriously from Dunning Kruger fallacy: a type of cognitive bias, where people with little expertise or ability assume they have superior expertise or ability. This overestimation occurs because of the fact that they don’t have enough knowledge to know they don’t have enough knowledge.

Supplementing with protein during strength training can increase gains in muscle size by approximately 27%, even when baseline protein intake is already considered adequate. The current RDA for protein, 0.8 grams per kilogram of body weight per day, is meant to prevent deficiency, not to optimize muscle growth or performance. Increasing intake to 1.5x the RDA leads to greater improvements in both muscle size and strength when combined with resistance exercise. Doubling the RDA is even better. Meta-analyses suggest that around 1.6 g/kg/day of protein is sufficient to maximize gains in muscle strength and fat-free mass, with potential (though smaller) benefits observed at higher intakes up to 2.2 g/kg/day for those aiming to fully optimize muscle growth and recovery (like athletes). This highlights how conservative the RDA truly is and why higher protein intakes are important, particularly for individuals engaging in regular strength training or other forms of physical activity.

VO₂ max is one of the most powerful predictors of longevity. It outperforms many common health markers—including BMI, blood glucose, and body fat percentage. Studies even suggest that people who smoke but maintain a high VO₂ max may live longer than non-smokers with low VO₂ max. (Of course, the best choice is don’t smoke and improve fitness!)

This suggests a potential synergistic effect for muscle hypertrophy. Though we need larger studies for confirmation, it's noteworthy that this isn't the first time heat has been shown to impact muscle mass. Previous research identified that localized heat application can reduce disuse atrophy by nearly 40%. The science of heat exposure continues to amaze and shows potential for enhancing physical health protocols.

Strength training isn't a replacement for cardio, no matter how high your heart rate gets While it’s true that lifting weights can make your pulse soar, the mechanisms behind the increase are fundamentally different from those in aerobic exercise—and so are the benefits Resistance training relies on central nervous system stimulation to spike your heart rate, whereas aerobic exercise demands cardiovascular adaptations like improved heart function and blood vessel health In short, skipping cardio entirely leaves a critical gap in your fitness

My grandfather Dr. GS Kulkarni is 93 years old, he still works, studies and researches and most importantly he exercises for 45 mins to 1 hour everyday. It is extremely important for our parents and grandparents to be active and perform strength training. Exercise is important for older adults because it can improve their physical and mental health. Active people have lower mortality rates compared to inactive people. People who met the minimum exercise recommendations (150-300 min/week moderate or 75-150 min/week vigorous) saw a significant reduction in mortality rates. Adults who engage in aerobic and muscle strengthening activities show greatly reduced risk of all cause and cause specific mortality Exercise is extremely important for cognitive health with numerous studies showing that exercise improves cognition and potentially prevents or delay cognitive decline. Physical exercise can reduce global cognitive decline and lessen behavioural problems in people with MCI or dementia. Physical activity was associated with a decreased incidence of cognitive impairment or decline Exercise can also improve skin health, this one study found that exercise significantly improved skin elasticity upper dermal structure, and dermal thickness Older adults should exercise under the guidance of a professional.

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
