Are You Fit Enough To Live Longer? You Don’t Need A Lab For The Answer
What is new?
Monitoring cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF), the most powerful driver of healthy longevity, has been out of reach for laypeople. In this post, I’m translating the latest science of estimating CRF into DIY methods for everyone.
Why it matters
CRF is entirely yours to either beef it up or bring it down. But without the ability to measure and monitor it, you fly blind with your exercise and lifestyle modifications.
What’s next?
Readers can use and test drive validated methods of accurately estimating CRF to optimize their exercise and lifestyle routines.
What if CRF is your only ticket to longevity?
When it comes to longevity and freedom from disease, you’ll be hard-pressed to find a better predictor than cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF). CRF beats all the usual suspects hands-down [1]:
“CRF is a potentially stronger predictor of mortality than established risk factors such as smoking, hypertension, high cholesterol, and type 2 diabetes mellitus”
