how I
Exercise
Training to slow aging is a cross section of many athletics. Think the strength and muscle mass of a bodybuilder, while still being able to sprint like a track and field star, but with the endurance of a marathon runner, while eating like a ballerina with the posture, flexibility, and balance of a gymnast.
To achieve this I workout 6-7 days a week and include a mix of: cardio, balance and flexibility, and strength training
my rituals
3 forms of movement:
1. Cardio: I do 3 kinds of cardio:
(zones denote how fast your heart is beating per minute)
Zone 2: at 121-137 bpm (achieved by: jog or walk)
- I do 1 hour of zone 2, twice a week
Zone 5: at above around 158 bpm (achieved by: running or stair master)
- I do 16 mins of zone 5, twice a week
- Norwegian 4x4: 4 mins above 159bpm, 4 mins rest, 4 times
10k steps a day on top of Zone 2 or 5
TOOLS: heart rate strap
2. Flexibility and balance :
- I do hot yoga or pilates once a week
- I do stretching as a part of my wind down routine before bed or yoga class
3. Strength training: focusing on time under tension, heavy weights, and progressive overload. I lift weights 2-3 a week.
