#379 - AMA #79: A guide to cardiorespiratory training at any fitness level to improve healthspan, lifespan, and long-term independence

And the team...

The Peter Attia Drive
#379 - AMA #79: A guide to cardiorespiratory training at any fitness level to improve healthspan, lifespan, and long-term independence

I think was able to get me convinced, and I believe rightly so, by saying, yeah, Peter, that's kind of the point is if someone were to try to go out there and aggregate everything you've said on this topic, it would be a full-time job.

And I think someone even shared with me how many hours and hours of content it would be.

The Peter Attia Drive
#379 - AMA #79: A guide to cardiorespiratory training at any fitness level to improve healthspan, lifespan, and long-term independence

And it was triple digit hours.

And they said, that's great for the person with an encyclopedic memory who is a lifelong devotee who doesn't have a job, but most people aren't going to fit into that category.

And it would be really helpful to have a practical guide, not just a theoretical guide to this.

The Peter Attia Drive
#379 - AMA #79: A guide to cardiorespiratory training at any fitness level to improve healthspan, lifespan, and long-term independence

That kind of won me over.

And so I guess I would just say kudos to the team for convincing me that this was the way to do it.

The Peter Attia Drive
#379 - AMA #79: A guide to cardiorespiratory training at any fitness level to improve healthspan, lifespan, and long-term independence

I'm really happy with the way they've crafted a story around this.

The Peter Attia Drive
#379 - AMA #79: A guide to cardiorespiratory training at any fitness level to improve healthspan, lifespan, and long-term independence

Let's dive in.

If you could be good enough, but you have to catch me within the first 10 seconds of the ad, or I'm skipping it.

The Peter Attia Drive
#379 - AMA #79: A guide to cardiorespiratory training at any fitness level to improve healthspan, lifespan, and long-term independence

Like, I don't know that that's a skill set that exists on our team.

The Peter Attia Drive
#379 - AMA #79: A guide to cardiorespiratory training at any fitness level to improve healthspan, lifespan, and long-term independence

We don't practice that skill of catch you in the first 10 seconds.

The Peter Attia Drive
#379 - AMA #79: A guide to cardiorespiratory training at any fitness level to improve healthspan, lifespan, and long-term independence

Yeah.

So again, if you've been listening to me talk about this for years, you can literally go to your podcast player and hit forward for a couple of minutes.

The Peter Attia Drive
#379 - AMA #79: A guide to cardiorespiratory training at any fitness level to improve healthspan, lifespan, and long-term independence

You don't need to hear this, but I do want to spend at least a minute on this idea that cardiorespiratory fitness is one of the most important and modifiable.

The Peter Attia Drive
#379 - AMA #79: A guide to cardiorespiratory training at any fitness level to improve healthspan, lifespan, and long-term independence

It's very important that we're talking about modifiable predictors of both how long you're going to live and how well you're going to live.

The Peter Attia Drive
#379 - AMA #79: A guide to cardiorespiratory training at any fitness level to improve healthspan, lifespan, and long-term independence

So if you look at all the predictors

#379 - AMA #79: A guide to cardiorespiratory training at any fitness level to improve healthspan, lifespan, and long-term independence

of all-cause mortality, which remember, that's the holy grail metric of longevity, cardiorespiratory fitness outperforms every other variable we can measure.

This includes blood pressure.
