I'm 63 and was a smoker for 35 years and have moderate COPD. I spent many years as a poly drug user as well. I got back in the gym 18 months ago and have worked up to lifting for an hour and doing 2 miles on the treadmill every other day and running for half of that distance. I haven't smoked for 10 years and I feel fantastic. I can't reverse the damage I have done to my lungs, but I can slow down the progression of COPD substantially. I will continue to be in the gym until my body will no longer allow it.
Well done. That's how you take control of your destiny.
Turned 73yo yesterday. Smoker until 40 but always exercised. Lots of bicycling and walking with light resistance exercises to present. Definitely feel younger than my age. Never been on any type of drugs to manage symptoms or disease. I’m all in with you guys!!🎉
I play advanced pickleball 6-8 hours a week. I am 68. Been doing it 2.5 years. No more prediabetes.
Pickle bar is not cardio
@@justinyeom1828It absolutely is cardio. Go troll somewhere else.
It's below zone 2 if you're fit.@@Tomyum19
Wow great job
Advanced pickleball. 😂🤣🤣🤣
We're so blessed to have Iñigo back in Bilbao!
Excellent analogy likening accumulating wealth to building a vigorous physical body. On the other hand, it is actually much easier to “catch up” if you are starting late to improve your health, than it is to fix financial procrastination. Plus, unlike money, health & fitness gains of very significant importance are nearly guaranteed just by consistent application of relatively simple principles. Cut out sugar, tobacco, alcohol and processed foods, develop a routine of walking/running, include strength training, balance & flexibility into your week. Perhaps most importantly, cultivate an attitude of gratitude & positiveness to support your mental wellbeing as you work to improve yourself.
Im 68 and just finished a 400k on my bike in 22 hours. Yes, you can.
Pretty much how I focus my training. 80% zone 2 cardio and about 10-15 mins of HIIT 5 days per week. I also train with a decent strength and conditioning coach roughly 4 days per week. I’m not an athlete just wanting to maintain fitness and muscle mass as it get older.
So, where's the 'benefits of Zone 2' exercise in this video? That's why I watched the video.
It's the mitochondria they mentioned in this segment. It takes years of consistent zone2 training to maximize the number and efficiency of these "muscles" in your cells (and your vo2max). It's how an old geezer can have a metabolic age of someone decades younger.
What about the cortisol spikes from doing long zone 2 training? Wouldn’t HIIT training be more ideal for less wear and tear on your joints..with emphasis more on weight training?
I would say it would be the opposite. Way more wear and tear doing HIIT and way more of a cortisol spike.
@@frontierlandfrank5314 Both are irrelevant because both spikes will be temporary under both of those scenarios.
@@keithzastrow sure the spikes are always temporary but they’re not equal. Not by a long shot. HIIT is way more taxing on your body than zone 2. That’s not even debatable.
@@frontierlandfrank5314 Irrelevant still. Research it.
You need both Zone 2 & HIIT, it’s not one or the other.

I fact checked your claims about Egypt oppressing your people and it’s all BS..Talk to Dr Magdi Yacoub he’ll tell you how Egypt chooses to honor the bright minds who give back, instead of sh***** on the country every chance they get..came here to tell you this and hopefully as you age you’ll get wiser
