I'm going to do five 30 second sprint.

#108 The Best Type of Exercise for Longevity

Maybe you have a Peloton at home and it's next to your desk.

FoundMyFitness
#108 The Best Type of Exercise for Longevity

You know, you're working.

FoundMyFitness
#108 The Best Type of Exercise for Longevity

You get on the Peloton and you just cycle as hard as you can for 45 seconds and you get off.

FoundMyFitness
#108 The Best Type of Exercise for Longevity

You do that five times throughout the day.

#108 The Best Type of Exercise for Longevity

Maybe, you know, every hour you do it or something.

So you don't even really have to change and exercise clothes, but it's structured.

#108 The Best Type of Exercise for Longevity

You planned on doing it or you go out to your home gym and you do a set of squats or you do a set of, you know, bench press or something like that.

So the exercise snacks are structured, but they're still short and they're sort of just still injected in throughout your day.

#108 The Best Type of Exercise for Longevity

So you don't have to change.

FoundMyFitness
#108 The Best Type of Exercise for Longevity

You don't have to go to the gym.

FoundMyFitness
#108 The Best Type of Exercise for Longevity

You probably don't have to shower after doing them.

#108 The Best Type of Exercise for Longevity

That's kind of the idea behind those.

#108 The Best Type of Exercise for Longevity

And examples of that, I mentioned a couple, you know, what would be like a lot of the studies they'll use sprints on a bicycle or something like that.

And what's crazy is that I think you can't do the VILPA.

FoundMyFitness
#108 The Best Type of Exercise for Longevity

A lot of that comes from the observational studies.

FoundMyFitness
#108 The Best Type of Exercise for Longevity

But with exercise snacks, people like Martin Gabala, other groups have actually done studies on them.

#108 The Best Type of Exercise for Longevity

And they've shown improvements of VO2 max of two to three milliliters per kilogram of oxygen with just,

FoundMyFitness
#108 The Best Type of Exercise for Longevity

you know, six to eight weeks maybe of just performing these exercise snacks regularly.

And that's similar to what you're gonna get through structured exercise training.
