I am 86 yrs male, I do not do your exercises, nor I have your muscular physique but I have reach this OLD age by doing my own exercise that puts emphasis on mental stimulation, social engagement &:enjoy life. My exercise is dancing to a variety of dance styles . I have been dancing for over 40 yrs & still dancing 4 to 5 times a week for at least 2 hrs. Various Ballroom Dances, Latin Dances, like Salsa, Bachata, Cha Cha, all the Swing dances, Argentine Tango Etc.I am posting this comment to show that there are other ways to live a longer & healthy life style . I have reach 86 yrs by just dancing. Of course I watch what I shove into my mouth.

I smoked for 20 years, quit August 9, 2023. Started running a half mile then a mile, then 2 miles, about 12 minute miles. Kept at it, got my mile times below 10 minutes. Single speed mile about 7 minutes. Did 5k's for about 4 months. Now that the weather is cooler I run 5 miles easily. I run 4x per week, and I take a max cold bath after which I never did before. Pro tip : Get an amazing playlist and enjoy your runs!

Hey man what’s your 4x a week upper lower lift split? Do you just alternate Day 1 Upper Day 2 Lower, etc, etc. is there anything more to it?

[@K4R3N]

@ryantrudell4686 yeah just build whatever Upper routine you like and run that twice a week and then build a Lower routine and run that twice a week. I sometimes change around the accessory or warmup stuff but the main lifts are generally the same. Upper is usually a horizontal push/pull and a vertical push/pull and I cap it off with a lateral cable shoulder and some biceps/triceps. Lower day is a some hinging, squatting, inner/outer thighs, and then some iso quads and hamstring work on the machines, plus hip flexors on the cable with the ankle cuff. Once a week I throw in some box jumps just to retain some jumping ability. I'm old lol.

Walking is insanely good for you Not only it's gentle exercise that is accessible for a lot of people but it's also really good for regulating thoughts and moods so it helps anxiety a lot. You can also choose the pace and to make it more 'intense' you can walk fast like almost run. It's excellent. At least an hour everyday would change people's life drastically. The only thing: it takes time. People should have more time to themselves. If you can't do that, get a home bike and do an hour a day 6 out of 7 days a week while watching whatever you usually watch. Biking front of the TV instead of eating some processed crap. While doing any of these activities, drink water. Just water. Not electrolytes or energy drinks. Back to basic human needs. Water and moving. If you can't do an hour, do 30 or 45 minutes. Anything is better than nothing.

i've been fortunate enough to have the time to take a couple hours once or twice a week to do uphill walking at a very fast pace.

[@tonys602]

I’ve read through a lot of the comments and lots of them are saying cardio is key to longevity. I will say this, cardio is important to a degree. It doesn’t take much to maintain a healthy heart, any more and you’re just working to improve cardio so you can run further etc. building muscle and strength is far more important for longevity and quality of life. I am a fireman and I see the aging process everyday at work. The majority of the problems come down to weakness and lack of muscle. I’ve done cpr on the side of the road for a 50 yr old that went into cardiac arrest while doing is 5 mile run that he did 5 days a week(when it’s your time it’s your time). The one call I’ve never been on in the 22 yrs I’ve been doing this job is for someone that does strength training and is to weak to get off the toilet or has fallen and can’t get up and laid on the ground for 2 days waiting for someone to find them. Trust me, You don’t want this to be you. If you love running or biking or whatever keep doing it but if your not resistance training in some way all the running in the world isn’t gonna help you.

[@somaticspirituality]

did he make it?

[@tonys602]

Unfortunately no

[@Reider242]

Nailed it! the context is missing

[@extremeencounter7458]

To be fair, if you hadn’t had that call, and it was instead for the 50 year old guy who had a heart attack at the gym, would you speak differently? The fact is, strength training wouldn’t have stopped that guy from dying. To even get close to diminishing returns from cardio work, most people would have to be surpassing 20 miles a week, and it’s not like you’re not benefitting from going past that. How many of the people you’ve had to help who were on the ground for 2 days, were the type of people who were actually running and training cardio? While strength alters quality of life, strength training does not significantly alter VO2 max. Cardio does. VO2 will always be one of the most significant predictors of longevity, that’s why you can’t just sit around lifting weights all day

[@tonys602]

@ this is why I specifically said when it’s your time it’s your time. Doesn’t matter if you do cardio, weight training, eat and sleep perfect. When the grim reaper wants you, he’s gonna get you. And you’re right 90% of our calls are from people that probably never ran or lifted weights. My comments were more directed at people that do only cardio and think that’s the best thing they can do for longevity and quality of life. And it’s simply not the case. There are many studies out there that state it’s best to do both(should be obvious), but if you only do one, resistance training is the one to do for a better outcome as you age. Again, if you love running or biking or whatever continue doing it because I think we can all agree something is always better than nothing, but people also need to strengthen the body period. If your not gaining strength and muscle as you age then you losing it. Would you rather be 70 and still able to squat even if it’s just your body weight or barely have strength to get out of a chair, cardio won’t help that.

I love a good weights session and having some muscle on me, but I'd pick cardio over resistance all day every day if I had to choose. Whether intense short bursts, or long walks on good wetaher days, cardio is king imo. But do it all is my advice. Try everything and just really go for the things you like the most.

True. Never felt better when I was working out 3x per week, running 3x per week and walked every day basically more then 6000 steps atleast.

For people where it's accessible, outdoor cycling is another low intensity sport that can and is often done by older people. I'm in my 30s but my cycling club consists primarily of 60+ age people, including one 80-something year old, who regularly do ~100km cycles. So that's a great way to do cardio for longevity. Plus it's fun (most people enjoy going for bike rides). It's hard at first, but after a few months of cycling outdoors, especually in a group, 100km doesn't seem like a big deal anymore, just a slightly more intense hike. And cycling in a cycling club ticks the social box too, so it's another great option!

[@Janthonyx]

Agreed. Cycling, for example on a road bike, is probably the best cardio you can do. Much better than running. The burden on your joints is way less and so is the injury probability. You can also sustain it for way longer if needed.

When we had to run for our conditioning before the basketball season started, our coach always said that we could do laps in groups, but we had to get a rhythm where we couldn't talk between us. Otherwise we were slacking.

People mock golf but I walk 12 miles on a weekend whacking the shit out of a little ball, it keeps my 78 year old Dad the right side of the grass, and the social side is all the motivation I need. Now I'm trying to start lifting to add some strength and muscle to my 6'3 weakling frame (M48)

It takes a long time and it’s expensive. If it’s in your time and financial budget and you enjoy it then you do you. You’re also outside which has additional benefits. I hate it, but I’m too much of a miserly introvert to enjoy it. Doesn’t mean you shouldn’t. Just because golf courses suck up a ton of water for not a good enough reason 😂 - just a little added jab. Kidding. Kind of

[@surfside16]

For people over 65 - Stationary bike for 30 minutes, calisthenics and stretching. And keep your weight down. Running will mess up your joints. BJJ will give you join and neck injuries that you may not recover from and have to live with pain for a long time.

[@samuelfink4799]

56, take no medication got back into weightlifting and cycling to deal with a divorce and I still lift and walk 10-12k steps a day. I went from being in horrible shape to really good shape but I definitely can tell I’m getting older. I rarely interact with others at the gym as I am skeptical of others at this point of my life and just find most have no substance. Is the way I isolate healthy, not sure but I enjoy my freedom and peace.

@ I couldn’t agree more, I have a few people at the gym whom I really enjoy talking too but we tend to talk about the things of life. I’ve always stressed to those who don’t exercise to find something you hate the least and do it consistently. I do that for my physical health but more so to quieten the voices in my head, without it I’m not sure where I’d be at this point. Have a good day!

The active part make time for cardio activity whether sports/martial arts or running/swimming or even dancing, while making time for some sort of resistance training whether weights, resistance bands, or kettlebell, and finally making time for mobility and core training for functionality For nutrition side whatever eating lifestyle you choose vegan, vegetarian,Mediterranean, carnivore just make sure you are getting the right quality nutrients and vitamins. And no don't rely on supplements if you are eating poor quality food Last is the mental side. Younger to figure out howto get rid of unnecessary stress. Let go of ego, keep an open mind, forgive, learn for your mistakes, be present etc Then you have a higher chance of not only living longer but having an awesome life

Great attempt at a joke but it misses the underlying truths. We will have a way higher ratio of centenarians in the future because we now understand things that are good for longevity. All the people who were born in 1900 and lived to the year 2000 had great genetics.

[@BigRick50]

Yes, so true, But, I'm guessing Dr Mike hasn't worked with a lot of older people and hasn't drawn the same conclusions as me, because I have. What will happen to you if you don't look after yourself, is you will eventually loose the ability to maintain yourself through exercise. Then no matter how much you want to exercise you can't. Then you've had it. Being able to effectively exercise in your 50's, 60's, 70's, 80's etc takes a lifetime of consistent, dedicated, effort. Which takes a lot more than hitting the gym and doing some Cardio. You have to do that of course, but it has to be more specific and purposeful than what the average "good" workout regime entails. Getting ripped and huge is good when you're young but your goals and methods need to change as you get older.

[@TheAvprobeauty]

Social motivation is one of few things good about Crossfit. I’m of the maybe 5% that HATES social workouts. I’d rather steam in my own neurosis. However, I will add, its at the public gym. So I still get the peripheral feeling of being in a social group. So not completely devoid of a soul while I crush weights 😂
