Exercise & Longevity #3

Smoking and diabetes increase risk of death by between two and three times (depending on timeframe). To put exercise related benefits in that context, someone who has a very high level of cardio fitness (specifically “V02 max”) has up to a 5 times reduction in all cause mortality (ie death by any cause). There are simply no drugs which can have this effect…

The circuits we do are designed specifically to increase V02 Max as well as general cardio fitness and muscular strength. For example, alternating maximum effort exercises and lower intensity exercises. Additionally, alternating upper and lower body exercises means the heart has to work hard to force blood flow from one area of the body to another, and the harder it has to work, then like any other muscle it will become both stronger and more efficient.
