#108 The Best Type of Exercise for Longevity

But before we get there...

FoundMyFitness
#108 The Best Type of Exercise for Longevity

Let's they're going to talk a little bit more about the insane difference between vigorous physical activity and light physical activity.

FoundMyFitness
#108 The Best Type of Exercise for Longevity

I mean, it's it's so crazy to think about the difference between those that the time efficiency is like you just you can't you can't ignore.

FoundMyFitness
#108 The Best Type of Exercise for Longevity

You can't ignore how efficient vigorous physical activity is.

FoundMyFitness
#108 The Best Type of Exercise for Longevity

Wait, just pause for a minute.

FoundMyFitness
#108 The Best Type of Exercise for Longevity

One minute of vigorous physical activity.

FoundMyFitness
#108 The Best Type of Exercise for Longevity

So let's, you know, let's just listen to this.

FoundMyFitness
#108 The Best Type of Exercise for Longevity

An hour, equivalent to an hour of like gentle walking.

FoundMyFitness
#108 The Best Type of Exercise for Longevity

Yeah, I agree.

FoundMyFitness
#108 The Best Type of Exercise for Longevity

I mean, I think I was reading in the paper that, you know, for light physical activity, it was capped at like 15%.

FoundMyFitness
#108 The Best Type of Exercise for Longevity

You got like a 15% reduction in, you know, cardiovascular related mortality and some of these things.

FoundMyFitness
#108 The Best Type of Exercise for Longevity

But like, you know, it just, it didn't go beyond that.

FoundMyFitness
#108 The Best Type of Exercise for Longevity

Even if you did hours and hours and hours, that's like, that's what you were capped at or like 10% for cancer, something like that.

FoundMyFitness
#108 The Best Type of Exercise for Longevity

So it's like, again, you're just like, you know,

FoundMyFitness
#108 The Best Type of Exercise for Longevity

You just you could for hours be doing light physical activity and you're only going to get that like 10 percent cap.

FoundMyFitness
#108 The Best Type of Exercise for Longevity

Whereas with the vigorous intensity physical activity there was.

FoundMyFitness
#108 The Best Type of Exercise for Longevity

But like before I get to that, I do want to I did forget to mention the risk of hypersensitivity.

FoundMyFitness
#108 The Best Type of Exercise for Longevity

having a heart attack or having a stroke, so these are these adverse events you were talking about with vigorous intensity physical activity, for every one minute of that vigorous activity, you needed about 5.4 minutes of moderate intensity activity.

FoundMyFitness
#108 The Best Type of Exercise for Longevity

So again, you know,

FoundMyFitness
#108 The Best Type of Exercise for Longevity

heart attacks, strokes, like those are major events that you want to avoid.
