We test the bold claim that exercise is the most powerful longevity drug, showing how elite cardio fitness and high functional strength cut all-cause mortality by five-fold and three-fold. We give a clear weekly plan, at-home tests, and decade-younger targets that anyone can start.
• VO2 max as the strongest predictor of mortality risk reduction
• Why moving from sedentary to average fitness yields outsized benefits
• Strength performance vs muscle mass as the real longevity lever
• Simple tests: dead hang, grip strength, sit-to-stand, air squats
• Weekly plan: three hours Zone 2 plus one 4x4 VO2 session
• Strength training patterns for resilience and fall prevention
• Decade-younger targets to drive training focus and motivation
• Highest-yield starting point: improve grip and dead hang first
