It’s Never Too Late to Turn Back the Clock on Aging

A focused 2-year exercise plan reversed decades of age-related changes in the hearts of sedentary 50-year-olds!!! The breakthrough study was Led by Dr. Levine and his team. They employed a regimen that involved dedicating 5-6 hours per week to:

Norwegian 4×4 Interval Training: Sessions start with 4 minutes of high-intensity activity at 95% peak heart rate, followed by 3 minutes at 60%-75% peak heart rate, repeated four times.

Recovery Day Aerobics: Light 20-30 minute aerobic exercises.

Endurance Building: Including at least one hour of endurance exercises per week, plus an additional 30-minute moderate-paced session.

Strength Training: Twice weekly sessions to build muscle and strength.

As we age, our hearts can become stiffer and smaller, with changes starting around age 50 and becoming more resistant to change after 70. This study demonstrates that targeted exercise can defy these odds, revitalizing heart structure and function.
