Move beyond simple 'cardio.' Learn the effective framework for exercise that targets longevity, balancing aerobic efficiency, peak fitness, and strength. Not all exercise is created equal when it comes to extending healthspan. While any movement is good, a strategic approach can yield far greater results. This article breaks down the optimal exercise framework for longevity, based on the work of leading experts like Dr. Peter Attia. We explore the "four pillars" of longevity fitness: stability, strength, aerobic efficiency (Zone 2), and anaerobic performance (VO2 max). Learn why each one is critical, how to train them effectively, and how to structure your week to build a robust, resilient body that is resistant to the decline of aging.
