Cardio vs Resistance. Running Vs Weightlifting. Which is better when it comes to living longer and to overall health? Staying healthy and fit as we age is critical if we want to enjoy getting older. Here’s some great information and some inspiration about how to live a longer, healthier life.
I’m including links below to some of the research that helped with this video. Get more information there.
A 2022 study published in The British Journal of Sports Medicine found that a combination of cardiovascular and strength training was associated with a lower risk of mortality than cardio alone. Even one hour a week of cardio alone led to a reduction in mortality risk, with three hours yielding the most benefit.
Similarly, the American College of Sports Medicine and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommend that adults between the ages of 18 and 65 aim for 150 minutes of moderate-intensity cardiovascular exercise per week. According to Dr. Keith, that’s when you can talk, but you feel winded. Cut that number in half if you’re doing vigorous cardio, where you’re too out of breath to speak.
