“Adherence is the number one predictor of success with fitness and nutrition programmes, always. Adherence.” This is my key takeaway. Just keep doing it. Doing fad diets or bursts of exercise are not as effective. That’s a useful thinking point for me. “Don’t let perfect be the enemy of good.” Keep moving.

For three decades i managed to go the gym more or less twice a week. Not always, but pretty consistently. Now in my late 60s I have never felt fitter. I am so glad I kept my exercise routine going. Consistency over time is the key. I did a mixture of easy weights and moderate cardio, never to excess but regularly every week. This speaker is spot on.

I work as an occupational therapist in a nursing home setting. I’ve been on a mission at my facility to really push for a sit to stand program when resident’s are seated in their wheelchair, and hip bridges when resident’s are in bed, using a little and often approach 3-5 reps to 3-5 times a day 5-7 days a week. Amazing how much push back I get. But I’ll continue the fight.

Hello there! Fellow occupational therapist here as well. I work in a hospital, and have also been on a similar mission. I’ve really started incorporating isometrics with my patients, especially the ones who have precautions that keep them from standing, walking, transferring, up in the chair etc. Isometric holds mid stand, and isometric glute squeezes when standing. Also glute bridge iso holds at end range in bed…genius! Nothing better to recruit muscle fibers, rapidly increase strength, and least amount of muscle soreness than isometric contractions

Thank you for this. I’ve been managing osteoarthritis in my hip for 8 years and am finding it increasingly difficult to do the aerobic exercises and carry out day to day tasks like shopping. You need stability your hips for carrying heavy things. I was planning to get the heavy foods delivered, but you’ve reminded me that if I stop trying, I may never get my strength back again. I used to be so fit; my social life in retirement was centred around various exercise classes at the gym, Ramblers and a cycling group. All that came to an end with lockdown. Everything closed down and the “adherence “ as you frame it dropped considerably. I can’t do the classes or Rambling anymore. The gym is too much all in one go. I do what I can at home doing various exercises throughout the day, whilst waiting for a new hip, but I have to push myself more and more mentally. Today, you have given me a necessary prod! 🙏

🤣I had a little laugh when I read your comment. So important. My dad was a very active man until he got to 80s. One day he slipped in his shower. He used to run on the spot for 200 counts daily after the shower. My mom stopped him from his usual runs and I now believe it had a detrimental effect. He got Alzheimer's. He did live to 90 but found it hard to even get out of a chair. He had played sport all his life. Rugby in his early 40s, Golf to 80s. So I take this talk seriously

It all boils down the the same thing: you need to be in a period of discomfort - wether it be long cardio or short heavy lifts .For it to be beneficial for your health in the long run you need to put stress on your body. Reading a book in the gym does not bring you to the next level when it comes to longevity, health or the increase of overall fitness and performance.

🎯 Key Takeaways for quick navigation: 00:00 🧠 *Grip strength is predictive of brain health due to the neurological demands of strength training, which keeps neurological pathways activated and healthy.* 01:09 💪 *There is no one-size-fits-all fitness routine; individualized exercise approaches are more effective for different people.* 03:13 🏋️ *Fitness is not limited to cardio or strength training; many forms of exercise can be effective, and the key is the physiological challenge you place on your body.* 12:50 📏 *Measuring VO2 max (maximum oxygen consumption) can provide insights into your fitness and potential longevity, with higher VO2 max indicating better health.* 19:23 💪 *Both strength and VO2 max are strong predictors of overall longevity and health, making them crucial metrics to consider for a healthy lifestyle.* 19:51 💪 *Leg strength is crucial for longevity, even more important than leg size. Weak legs can lead to decreased physical activity and social connectivity as people age.* 21:40 💪 *Grip strength is a significant predictor of all-cause mortality and brain health. Recent research suggests a likely causal relationship between grip strength and cognitive health.* 33:44 💓 *Isometric exercise, such as grip strength training using handgrip dynamometers, can lead to statistically significant reductions in resting blood pressure, potentially improving overall cardiovascular health.* 37:11 🏋️‍♂️ *You don't need extreme efforts; even small improvements in fitness from the bottom 25th percentile to the next level can have a substantial positive impact on health and longevity.* 39:02 🏋️‍♀️ *It's not about annihilating yourself in workouts; stimulating your body through challenging exercises is enough to promote progress and adaptation.* 39:56 🏋️‍♂️ *Consistency and adherence are crucial for fitness and nutrition program success over the long term.* 42:31 🚫 *Accumulated injuries don't make strength training impossible; you can work around them and focus on the parts you can do.* 44:10 🕒 *If time is a constraint, aim for at least one longer cardio session per week, supplement with regular walking, and incorporate short, high-intensity workouts and strength training.* 45:06 💪 *Steady-state cardio, like biking or walking, can be a great option for time-efficient exercise, even for busy individuals.* 48:09 🧠 *Strength training, even simple heavy lifting, can have a positive impact on brain health and reduce the risk of dementia.* Made with HARPA AI

A recent study found that continuous moderate level exercise causing flexing of joints for 10-15 minutes triggers regrowth of cartilage. Eg a slow walk will trigger regeneration of cartilage in ankle, knee, and hip. Vigorous exercise, eg running will not trigger this regeneration. So in addition to the extreme grip strength exercise recommended in this video, also practice daily gentle movement of your hand joints to ensure that cartilage stays healthy.

I am 79 listening to this explanation as to brain traing makes sense. I do Sudoko extreme, waffle, wordle, crosswords but When I lift weights c20 kilo I have to think more as to body movement position. That mankind has lifted weights (body and food) for millenia means the brain will have evolved for these tasks rather than brain teasers.

I found this so interesting, particularly the part about exercising consistently and over a long period of time. It makes total sense that we would choose something that we like ! The other fascinating subject was grip strength. I haven't heard this being linked to cognitive function, but as a pianist, the muscles of the hands / arms are trained for strength and dexterity for many years. I feel that this has a profound effect on my cognitive abilities, particularly the right/left brain activity. As a bonus it engages many other complex neurological activities particularly when sharing with others. Just getting it out there for music / the arts to be a major part of our lives.

I’m still overweight, at a weight that is actually not harmful to longevity, but I’d like to get to a “normal” weight to lessen the loads on my arthritic knees, and, tbh, “look good naked” (as far as a man my age and condition might achieve.) I’m determined to start an exercise program to help keep my brain and body functioning as well as they can now. Subscribed.

For quality living, mobility and autonomy, I agree that it's a 1:1, and no matter what, exercise is good for health. However, fitness isn't a precise predictor of longevity itself, when you're not doing statistics on population, but looking at individuals. It's a little like BMI. Look around yourself and your own family and friends, and the people who lived to 100 weren't necessarily impressively fit, just decently active and lively. But for quality of life and plenty of other reasons, definitely keep moving!

Fascinating information. Rather daunting for me, though, given that I have arthritic hands and cannot grip much! I had to buy a jar opener otherwise I could not get into airtight containers. I had to give away my knitting needles and crotchet hook as my hands kept cramping up and making me drop things. In addition, I have arthritis of the hip and am waiting for a replacement. In the interim I am in danger of falling, especially on stairs, if I do not go slowly and carefully. I have never been a runner, but used to love walking - not any more as my hip gives way altogether sometimes - without my stick I'd be on the ground. My knees are also arthritic but not so bad as my hip, so climbing stairs is not fun. Coming down backwards puts less strain on the knees. I'm writing this as I know I am far from the only person in my situation, someone else has already made a point about their arthritis... I am old - even my children are older than Dr Andy - but I don't want to give up. I don't want dementia. I don't want to be a burden to others and I do want a great quality of life for the time I have left. I'd love ideas from anyone who knows what they're talking about, to help me, and all the other physically challenged people, keep fit and healthy for as long as possible.

From this, I’m wondering if training grip could be a good way for less mobile people/people with injuries to train ‘heavy’ and access the neurological benefits of weights? Surely the same ‘recruit more pathways’ system would be working, but from the safety of a chair? Would love to know if there’s any studies on that, or to hear from any scientists who might know more….

My blood pressure was a little high. I would normally lift with machines (or support) for safety. I switched to free weight exercises that required that I maintain a rigid core and my blood pressure immediately dropped to a good level. I now think that maintaining the rigid core is an isometric component of the weight lifting and that this isometric component lowered my blood pressure. (switch from supported bent-over row to free standing, from leg press to goblet squat and also do Romanian dead lift.)

Very interesting video! Particularly the neural training effect of strength exercise. A couple of thoughts came to mind. (i) The VO2 max predictor for life expectancy - a large number of people in the bottom quartile will be obese (from the definition of VO2 max - it O2 measures per kilogram) and smokers. So in large part, it is going to be a metric that identifies unhealthy people rather than a causal measure from fitness training. (ii) The comments on crosswords having a limited effect on cognition because once you have mastered the skill, there is no more cognitive challenge: There is a strong research base of improved cognition from the progressive "Dual-n-back" mental exercise. More fun for most people would be e.g. Chess puzzles, which are progressive - once I can solve mate-in-one, I start trying mate-in-two, etc. There are excellent phone apps that build in this progression.

That was fascinating. Literally got me up off the couch while I watched and doing weights while I watched. Heavier weights, too 😄 Thank you for the link to the research. I shared this one with a lot of different people of all age groups!

I've just been diagnosed with an auto-immune disease called 'connective tissue disorder' but don't know where this inflammatory disorder originates. Does this mean that specific gripping/lifting weight exercises is even more important ...... or is it more difficult?

Very worrying for people like me with delayed diagnosis and treatment of cervical degenerative myelopathy leaving them with decreased strength in hands, arms and or legs as a result of discs in neck having crushed/damaged nerves in the spinal cord - result of arthritic wear and tear in cervical spine moving discs. Most people get this to some degree as they age.

I wonder if language learning has continuous cognitive benefits. That is, if you learn French and Spanish, does then going on to learning Italian or German continue to challenge a person, or has the brain "figured out" language learning, leading to reduced benefits?

Imagine how complicated walking is ;) Think about how hard it has been to build a walking machine. Balance may happen largely unconsciously, but it's a very demanding neurological challenge. And then on top of that, everything Dr Galpin said about recruiting more and more neurons

27:34 very interesting. I’m in my 40s and six months ago, I had an injury at work where I broke/fractured my wrist. It is my dominant hand. The bone, according to the x-rays, mostly healed within a couple months. However, my strength and use of that wrist/arm, is not like the un-injured arm and wrist. At first, you’re told not to lift a certain amount of weight. Then, as time goes by, you’re given clearance to lift more. So, I don’t use that hand/arm, as much as the other. Now, I need to use it more, and instead of just the wrist feeling pain, the entire arm all the way up to my right eye hurts. So, waiting for approval of an MRI, however, it’s interesting to know, from this conversation, that even nerves need to be exercised. 🤔 🧠 💪 Interesting information that may help me with my recovery.

Grit your teeth and follow your physio’s advice to the letter - or get a good program to work with.. I have had major surgery on knee, shoulder, & hand (4/5 digits affected by Dupytrens), and it takes a year or more sometimes to get the best results. You may need to think of a lifelong adjustment, & accept some discomfort.

I broke my ankle and after the first year it still bothered me. Ache and sometimes a nerve pain up my leg. It did get better but was a few years it was still vulnerable for example if I curled my foot around a chair leg would set off nerve pain and had to wait for it feel ok again. I didn't do anything specific. Just kept walking and playing sports after a year. Sometimes I did wear a neoprene ankle support (not tight at all) but kept some heat in the area which helped.

I did have wrist pain for more than 2.5 years after an accident. I could not even clap for applause. Doctor's and PT advice was very limited and not exactly helpful. (Learn to live with an arthritic joint). After taking cheap collagen peptides powder for six weeks the pain has mostly disappeared. I can exceercise with this hand again. The excercises seem to help further, despite some pain while doing them.

Strength and resistance training for your legs and core muscles is the best thing you can do to improve your balance as you age. Even if you stumble, your capacity to recover balance and not actually fall, is greatly improved if you have strong leg and core muscles. In addition even if you do fall, those strong muscles are protective of your joints and bones, thereby perhaps reducing severity of any injury.
