7.25 mins, anti cancer. When Tour de France cyclist Lance Armstrong was diagnosed with testicular cancer he was given a 40% chance of survival as the tumours had spread to his lungs and brain. During chemotherapy which must have made him feel dreadful he pedalled hard everyday on his stationary bike even though he was advised not to. Lance didn't listen and his tumours all shrank until they disappeared. His physicians concluded that the tumours were up against a finely tuned machine and that's what saved him. Great video.

I speak by personal experience. I am in my late 40s. I've done high intensity training for a few years maximizing my endurance to the point I was faster and stronger than in my 20s. The downside is that I struggled to gain muscle mass after a while and my body was inflammed all the time. Plus I was all the time tired. By cutting intense endurance training and spending more hours in the gym lifting weights I feel much better.

I started CrossFit at 37 years old during “cult” era and I’m 50 now. People can’t believe I’m a day over 35 when I tell them my age. Everything she says is fact on this one but you have to be willing to be on the edge a bit for this process to work. It’s gonna take at least 9-12 months for most to realize the changes. There is no shortcut and yes you it will cost on the nutrition, food and equipment (shoes, gear etc) that’s required. Some days you will need to train 2x and on off days you will need to do tons of mobility (yourself) to make it work. I fell in love with it all because of ptsd from military combat so it gave me a sense of community again. And one thing I found out about fitness is that it’s WAR. You must be willing to go deeper and risk your comfort for Advancement each day. We are all capable so reading these comments won’t help you realize that. The only way to get there is START

[@FreshFowkz]

​​​​​​​​@@valahogyHappiness is fleeting, that "guidance" by nature is for animals or unevolved humans. We as humans can break free from nature's limitations. Break free from pain and pleasure, sadness and hapiness, ying and yang. Humans are capable of union with the cosmos and going beyond the dualistic viewpoint of the mind and intellect. You are not the body and not the mind. There is no good and bad, there is just the cosmos as a whole.realizing that is the true human potential and purpose of this life. It's called enlightenment and Yogis have been developing methods for this for over 15.000 years. Those beings who realized enlightenment speak of "divine bliss" and if you research legitimate masters you can see it in their faces and eyes. No regular human has an expression like that, only the most evolved ones who broke free from limitations of the mind and body by disidentifying with them and realizing the true self, which is conciousness itself, there is only 1 conciousness and every individual shares it, so there really is no individuality. "God" is dreaming the universe and every individual can wake up if he is willing of letting go of every identification that binds him to the dream (body/mind/desires/likes and dislikes) and unite with him and experience union and liberation.

I know quite a few people who have had heart attacks that have been running or spinning for years. I am talking several "healthy" men & women. They almost always deny the high intensity as a contributing factor but I see the correlation. Low intensity is safest for long term regimens.

[@DrSlouka]

"Low-intensity exercise is generally considered safe for the heart, especially when combined with heart rate monitoring using technology such as smartwatches." Train smart not hard 🎯🎯🎯🎯

[@ajbroxon485]

I think it can raise cortisol levels. Especially women in perimenopause.

[@DrSlouka]

@@ajbroxon485 Zone 2 training, defined as exercising at 60-70% of your maximum heart rate, is particularly beneficial for perimenopausal women. It helps manage cortisol levels, which can be elevated during this phase, thereby reducing stress and promoting fat oxidation. This moderate-intensity training enhances mitochondrial function, allowing the body to use fat as a primary energy source while minimizing the risk of injury and overtraining. Incorporating Zone 2 workouts can improve metabolic flexibility and support weight management during perimenopause

[@moose304]

As someone that's done steady state, high intensity intervals, weights, yoga, other through most of my life, the one thing I don't get is if I'm going at a legit 95% of my maximum heart rate, there is no way I'm maintaining that for 4 mins. Almost by definition, 95% is anaerobic work. 30 to 60secs? Sure. But 4mins? Nope. Find me someone who says they're at 95% and sustaining that for 4mins (let alone for repeats), and I'll show you someone almost certainly not at 95%. Or did I misunderstand and it's 95% of your maximum 4min pace? Still enjoyed the video overall though. 👍

[@MrGarystanislawski]

I had the same questions. It's very hard to find in the research. And a lot of these hit exercise programs call for 30 seconds. There's no way in the world you're going to get your heart rate up to 95% and 30 seconds. From the people I've talked to and the studies I've read forget about the 95%. It's that you work out all you can for 4 minutes. If you can't do that again after 4 minutes, you're working too hard. If you recover faster than 4 minutes, you're not working hard enough. Use those same figures if It's 30 seconds or 2 minutes. That's what you have to go by. Might take you a couple weeks. Easy to figure out at that pace.

[@moose304]

@@MrGarystanislawski Thanks! that makes WAY more sense than simply 95% for 4mins!

[@thomashugus5686]

You’re absolutely right !

[@TMcGee123]

The timeframe can be any interval that allows you to complete the high intensity work for whatever time is possible. If it’s realistic, it can only be short duration repeated multiple times. Plenty of good research on the topic.

[@xalian17]

I can ramp up to 95% in a four min period but 4 mins of 95% seems ….. kinda bullshit.

Sounds wonderful! But Many people for whatever reason are physically unable to do high intensity exercises.What's their next best option to get all these great benefits!

[@jamesstrawn6087]

There is no way of knowing with certainty the (ultimate) optimum pattern of workout. As one works out daily, abilities and markers of success move. Finally, the individual is limited by time and opportunity. This applies also to academic exercise, alimentation and supplementation, and even things like learning a musical instrument and saving money. It reminds one of Jesse Jackson's "paralysis of analysis." I suggest a daily pattern for each sphere of growth and the practice of making very small changes individually. Also, a person must have a reason for wanting a long and healthy life. Serving others is far better than narcissism.

[@missmayflower]

I participated in a university study on the effects of HIIT on pre diabetic people over fifty. So everything was measured precisely. I religiously stuck to the schedule I was given. After six months, the improvements were so tiny that they did not outweigh how much I hated that miserable routine. I always exercise, but only do things I enjoy now. Why live a longer life if it’s a miserable one?
