Episodes
Ten bodyweight squats every 45 minutes beats a 30-minute walk for glucose control. Three daily 1-2 minute vigorous bursts correlate with 40-50% lower all-cause mortality. Finish...
Each unit increase in VO2 max adds roughly 45 days to life expectancy. The Norwegian 4x4 protocol (four 4-minute intervals at 95% max heart rate) is one of the most effective wa...
One minute of vigorous exercise equals 4-10 minutes of moderate activity for health outcomes. Just 3-9 daily minutes of hard effort cuts cardiovascular mortality by 40-50%. High...
Each VO2 max unit adds roughly 45 days to your life expectancy, and two years of vigorous training can reverse 20 years of cardiac aging. The Norwegian 4x4 protocol (four 4-minu...
About 40% of people don't improve VO2 max from moderate exercise alone—they need intensity. HIIT triggers rapid mitochondrial growth and produces lactate that crosses into the b...
Three weeks of bed rest causes worse cardiovascular decline than 30 years of aging. The flip side: exercising 4-5 days per week preserves youthful heart structure, and the Norwe...
Dr. Andy Galpin dispels common myths about lactate (or "lactic acid"), explaining why it is not the waste product responsible for muscle soreness and exercise fatigue as commonl...
