#108 The Best Type of Exercise for Longevity

What was so interesting is there's another study that really was a VILPA study.

#108 The Best Type of Exercise for Longevity

When I say VILPA, again, people, I'm talking about vigorous intermittent lifestyle physical activity.

This isn't going to the gym and doing Peloton.

This is just your movement throughout the day being as measured with an accelerometer.

the benefits were equivalent to people that were doing structured exercise, right?

FoundMyFitness
#108 The Best Type of Exercise for Longevity

So there was like 62,000 people who actually did exercise and they compared that to people that were doing Vilpa.

And it was crazy, but the same outcomes in terms of risk reduction, it was comparable.

It really shows that your body doesn't care if it's structured exercise or not.

And I was talking to someone yesterday about this who, you know, is interested in health and wants to be healthy, but like hates exercise.

FoundMyFitness
#108 The Best Type of Exercise for Longevity

And their response was 30%.

FoundMyFitness
#108 The Best Type of Exercise for Longevity

Like, the running with my dog that I'll, like, do in bursts or, like, with my kid, like, counts.

FoundMyFitness
#108 The Best Type of Exercise for Longevity

And I think that's important because it's not that we're disincentivizing people to not engage in structured exercise.

FoundMyFitness
#108 The Best Type of Exercise for Longevity

We're rewarding people who do this unstructured exercise.
