One of the biggest predictors of health span and lifespan is something called VO2 max.

It's a measure of your cardio respiratory fitness, the efficiency of your heart and lungs

working together, and essentially it's a measurement of how active you are, how much time you spend

exercising, no big surprise, exercise a lot.

Your body's healthy on a number of different levels, probably VO2 max, for sure indicates

your heart and lung health, but also as a proxy for full body fitness, which comes from

a lot of movement.

Whether that's your circulatory system, your metabolic health, your endocrine system,

and lots of other things.

When it comes to training your VO2 max, improving your VO2 max number, I should say, hard

to be running in terms of predictable controlled training effect, however running has so many

injuries that a lot of us start, stop, struggle, can't find our feet, figure out how to do it.

In this week's podcast, hopefully we'll give you some insight how you can potentially

be more successful, jogging, running, or walk jog, walking, any or all of the above.

If you're new here, it's the Lucas Rockwood show, I'm a yoga teacher, I'm a trainer,

I'm a serial entrepreneur, I'm the father of three kids, firstly though I'm a student.

I use this podcast as a way to meet doctors, physical therapists, researchers, yoga teachers

to bring their work here, so hopefully we live more, educated, more inspired lives.
