In fact, it was comparable, their hearts were comparable to looking more like 30-year-olds.
So they had essentially started this program and they had these 50-year-old looking hearts.
And with respect to the size and the compliance.
And then after this two-year exercise protocol had reversed 20 years of cardiac aging, which is pretty astonishing and inspirational in many respects.
So the protocol wasn't necessarily easy, though.
Yeah, for me, it would for sure.
Especially with respect to your cardiorespiratory fitness.
Well, a lot of this research, so this intervention study, you know, we're talking about the master's athletes looking at identifying, you know, I called it the dose, but it really...
is in terms of frequency, how many days a week you have to work out to kind of help maintain that youthful cardiac structure has led Dr. Levine to have what he calls his prescription for life with respect to exercise.
He does add a little bit of resistance training into that prescription for life.
Maybe we can talk a little bit about that and then talk about our own sort of our prescription for life, like what our protocols are.
Well, you're doing what's your total hours?
Well, I'm so I'm not clocking in quite as many hours.
I'm doing more like six, six to six and a half hours a week, depending on on the week.
So I end up doing a more high intensity training and a little bit more.
I would say of that zone three is probably a big, a big part of my training.
