A guide to cardiorespiratory training at any fitness level to improve longevity (AMA 79 sneak peek)

Moving from the bottom quartile to the top 2–3% of VO2 max reduces all-cause mortality risk by 4–5x, making cardiorespiratory fitness the single most powerful modifiable longevity lever — outperforming blood pressure, cholesterol, BMI, and even age.

Stanford Scientist: Why Aging Accelerates at 44 and 60
