Are you doing this exercise already? 🤔

Can’t believe the comments on this post. He is only giving his opinion back by his research of mountains of collected data. He is not trying to sell you anything. He is highly educated and knowledgeable of human health. Just listen and learn. No one is telling you to follow his advice and we don’t need you un knowledgeable worthless comments.
Thank you Peter for everything you have shared over the years.

I'm 80, and ride my bike vigorously for about an hour, (about 25 km), or I do a whole body workout using weights, etc., plus riding the indoor bike, again for about an hour, almost every day. I also go for walks over hilly terrain, and I live in a house with three stories. I'm not on any medication, and haven't seen my doctor in over a year, (and that was only for actinic keratosis treatment).

Way ahead of the curve here, been active since my youth in multiple sports, Human Kinetics education, former athletics coach. Now age 69 and still run 3 times per week, use resistance bands, kettlebell, slam balls, plenty of walking and on the basketball court two times per week. Giddy Up!

[wildbill]

Yes, agree with Peter . As we age we need more walking, weight training and protein to keep sarcopenia at bay ...

I'm 71 yo. 5'11" 155LB; MWF one hour of weights with 2 minute breaks, 16 exercises in all, heavy, (ex. dumbbell bench press 15 X @ 45lb.) finish up with 5 full extension pull ups, 10 dips and a 1.5 minute hang. TuThS one hour of ab work, stretching and balance exercises, finish up with step box and 1.5 minute hang. Tuesdays and Saturdays, 3 mile run (20 minutes); Thursdays and Sundays, HIIT: 8X all out run up 60 yd long12% grade asphalt road hill. Lots of supplements from whey powder to Creatine. I still work part time, but make working out a priority. "Don't let the Old Man In"!

I very much appreciate the simplicity and power of the call to action here! Thank you, Peter!

As someone who's been fairly fit and active (runner for 40 years, cyclist the past ten), at age 69 I have a VO2 max of 52 and maintain strength with regular pushups and chinups. But the 'exercise' that I consider most effective from a strength and cardio standpoint, not to mention balance and fast-twitch muscle activation, is one I took up a couple of years ago, moutainbiking. A couple of hours on a bike, 2-3 times a week, ensures all-round fitness minus the drudgery of working out.

Having participated in sports regularly, most times weekly, I've been relatively fit, as well as being a vegetarian for 40 years. At Christmas 2022 I visited family in Vienna, when within 2 days tested positive for Covid on Christmas day, needing 19 days to finally test negative, then return home. Fastforward to Feb 2024, I suddenly developed long Covid symptoms, extreme fatigue and lack of energy, meaning I'm good for a couple hours of either mental, physically, or combination of the two activities, then need to rest 5-6 hours. Normally, I walked on average 14km daily including HiiT, which, now due to being in long Covid, impossible to do, even a couple kms is exhausting. I'm making some progress, but it's not easy. Looking forward to playing tennis, swimming, walking and hiking (live 300m from the forest) as soon as possible. I'm 77 going strong, have been med free of my asthma for 4.5 years, looking 20 years younger. Exercise, eating right, and lifestyle are important.

Early in my life I began projecting regarding what my life would be later in life. I'm so glad I did. I still do at 71 years of age. It has been the quality of my life that I've dwelled on rather than the length. I know provided I do all the things to be healthy, in fact longevity will take care of itself.
I must be healthy to be alive and living well. As knowledge increases so does my joy in my life journey.

All of this information is helpful and understandable. I am currently training for the 100 and 200 meter races at The World Senior Games 70 and over Group. I intend to compete by 2027 or prior to that, depending upon my personal performance while training.
Thank You for this.

My hubby had a major heart attack is now on 24 hr oxygen he’s 25 lbs overweight since quitting smoking 2.5 years ago. I bought a step up and have 3 lb weights hopefully I can get him to start doing this.

[slydog]

I'm going to start incorporating eccentric leg presses into my workout. I do that on a machine, use both legs to raise the weight and then only one leg to lower the weight, so it is eccentric overload training. I've done this in the past. At first, the muscles get really sore, but that resolves in time. I need to start doing this again.

My mom broke her hip at 90 and she is still living today at 97 years young. She had the hip replaced. So not everyone dies, obviously there are many exceptions. She played tennis until she in her early 80s. She eats all kinds of food and has a vodka every night before dinner.

[brocknallen]

This is very useful information. I can still hike mountains easily ascending, but descending is very difficult for me now....I have the dumbells....I need to get a few boxes and work on the weighted step-ups and 3X counts step-downs....from all angles...Thank you Dr. Peter Attia!

[miguelaltunagajr]

Shaolins knew this centuries ago. It's great we all have more access to this knowledge now

[BM_Holdings]

This was extremely helpful and enlightening. Thank you very much for uploading.

[parasqn]

That was excellent. Thank you. I know now I need to work more on my step downs. The rest I've been doing all my life. Brilliant and informative video. Probably the best I've seen yet.

[powerliftercarnivorecoachedgr]

Squats and deadlifts. Of you have bad discs, do belt squats. Trap bar and straight bat deadlifts along with squats, are the overall best exercises you can do. Again, if you have bad discs, you can do hyper and reverse hyper extensions, standing and seated good mornings. Steep ups are in my arsenal every so often, but nothing beats a squat then a leg press.
