So I don't know the answer because I don't know what that person's limitations are today . So rather I would just say what is the framework and my framework for thinking about this is four components of exercise . One is stability .
Now that we've set the stage for what we're optimizing for with our exercise , these next two clips are going to focus on strength . One of the pillars in my framework for exercise . The first clip is from a recent A ma on the importance of preserving strength and muscle mass as we age .
So we thought about trying an experiment for today's episode . We've decided to pull a variety of clips from previous podcasts , but around a given theme and in this episode , we're going to focus on clips that discuss exercise and my framework for it . So we put these clips in order of what we think is the best way to listen from top to bottom .
Frankly , I can just tune out and listen to podcasts and audiobooks , which is what zone two is for in my book . The next set of clips , look at another pillar in my framework of exercise , which is now that upper end aerobic verging on anaerobic exercise . So we sometimes talk about this as zone five .
It is pretty much maximum cardiac output just beneath vo two max above functional threshold . It puts an amazing strain on the body and frankly , while doing that is better than sitting on a couch all day , that is generally past the point of optimizing longevity returns and it actually comes at some longevity cost relative to something more at a slightly lower energy system . So , everything I'm talking about is geared towards this Centenarian Olympics , which we've talked about in the past , this idea of being the most kick ass 90 year old possible .
