This is not new knowledge.
The World Health Organization knows exactly how many minutes a week we should be training these things.
You want 150 to 300.
This is for peak performance aging.
Healthy and successful aging is a little less, but peak performance aging is 150 to 300 minutes of hard aerobic training a week, moderate to vigorous aerobic training a week, two strength training days a week, and three flexibility, balance, and agility days a week.
um or you can find one skill i chose park skiing in the in the book that accompanies all that right if i by in park skiing i'm using strength stamina balance agility flexibility there's other stuff you want to do there's ways we have things called prime mover muscles our big muscles and then we have stabilizer muscles like your rotator cuffs or your hip flexors
Over time, the body gets more efficient and it will start using the prime movers and not use the stabilizer muscles.
So if you've been on the couch for a while and you come back to athletics, you're not going to hurt your quad.
You're going to tear the stabilizer.
You're going to tear your hip flexor.
because it stopped doing the work.
Your quad, if you're walking around, your ambulatory is working.
Your reflexor has started to atrophy.
So there's ways you want to sort of think about training that's a little bit different if you've been away for a while.
But those are the physical skills we need to train over time.
Okay, we got to get to the full sentence anyway.
So let's throw it out there and then we'll break it apart and why it matters so much.
So if you want to rock till you drop, if you really are interested in peak performance aging, you need to regularly engage in challenging creative and social activities.
That is, you just pointed out that demand dynamic, deliberate play and take place in novel outdoor environments.
Now let's unpack what this big ass sentence and what it means and why it answers your question.
