So today's podcast is more of a journal club type of episode where we're going to be discussing a new study that really kind of overturns that idea.

So I'm joined by endurance athlete Brady Homer, who has a master's in human performance.

He's also an author of the book, VO2 Max Essentials, and he's a former podcast guest.

He was on the podcast

Let's get started.

So that's essentially you have this one to two rule, right?

Where it's like, okay, for every one minute of vigorous intensity physical activity, you're going to be doing two minutes of the moderate intensity activity.

And that's kind of where this rule came from.

And I don't know that it's necessarily...
