What if the best anti-aging treatment wasn't a supplement or a drug, but two simple workouts? Not helping you burn more calories or lose more body weight, but making your cells younger and help you from the inside out. Now, most people think exercise is about changing [music] how they look, and I think about
it very differently. And one of the main reasons I exercise has nothing to do with my waistline. It's because of what exercise [music] does to my mitochondria. That's why I exercise. These tiny little structures inside your cells are responsible [music] for producing the energy that powers every single heartbeat, every thought, every muscle contraction. And as your
mitochondria decline, well, so do your energy, your metabolism, your brain, and ultimately, how well you age. And here's the exciting part. Research shows that two specific forms of exercise [music] don't just help preserve your mitochondria, they actually tell your body to build healthier, [music] more efficient ones. In other words, they help your body function younger. If
you ask me, "What's the single best exercise for longevity?" they're usually expecting one answer: [music] walking, running, swimming, yoga. But, that's actually the wrong question because different types of exercise do different [music] jobs inside your body. Walking's fantastic. Mobility is essential. [music] Zone two cardio has tremendous benefits, but if your goal is to protect
your brain, build muscle, support [music] your metabolism, reduce your risk of chronic disease, and stay independent for decades to come, there are two forms of exercise that almost [music] everyone should be doing. Strength training and high-intensity interval training or HIIT training. And before you click away because you think HIIT means burpees [music] and boot camps, stay with me.
