HIIT: Maximum Benefit in Minimum Time
High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) involves short, intense bursts of exercise (like sprinting or cycling hard) followed by brief recovery periods. This type of training is incredibly time-efficient and is one of the most effective ways to improve VO2 max, a key predictor of longevity. HIIT places a beneficial stress on the mitochondria, signaling them to become more efficient and to produce more energy. This mitochondrial rejuvenation is a cornerstone of slowing the aging process. A typical HIIT session might only last 15-20 minutes but can provide cardiovascular benefits comparable to much longer sessions of steady-state cardio.
