Easy Endurance — the Longevity Zone
Regular easy-pace cardio (able to hold a conversation) is one of the strongest predictors of healthspan.
How it works
Zone-2 work grows mitochondrial density and metabolic flexibility, improves insulin sensitivity, and lowers resting inflammation — the machinery of aging well.
The practice
150+ minutes/week of brisk walking, easy cycling, or light jogging, split any way you like. Add 2 short strength sessions weekly for muscle and bone.
The tradition
Modern exercise physiology
Cautions
- ⚠ Start where you are; consistency over heroics.
