About this listen

Hook: Cardiorespiratory fitness is one of the most powerful, modifiable predictors of lifespan and healthspan. In this 3-minute condensed guide (original 38 minutes), host Peter Attia distills the essentials of improving VO2 max, METs, and overall cardiorespiratory fitness for longevity. Learn the cardiorespiratory triangle concept—building a broad Zone 2 endurance base while developing peak aerobic power—plus the cellular rationale (mitochondria, lactate shuttle) behind why volume and sustainable intensity matter. Practical takeaways include how to prioritize Zone 2 versus high-intensity work given your time and age, how to balance CRF with resistance training, and measurable targets to track progress. Keywords: VO2 max, Zone 2, METs, cardiorespiratory fitness, longevity, training strategy. Listen now to get the key ideas in minutes.
