ENDURANCE IN MIDLIFE

Aerobic fitness declines through your 40s and 50s. Cardio training is the main way to slow that decline and protect your heart and metabolic health.

We cover the physiology: how cardiovascular training affects heart disease risk, visceral fat, mood, and cognitive health, and why VO2 max is one of the strongest predictors of long-term health and independence. We also cover the practical side: training intensity zones, how to balance low- and high-intensity work, and the minimum effective dose for meaningful results. We highlight where the physiology differs between men and women – it changes how each should train.

Our aim: build aerobic capacity, protect your heart and metabolic health, and train in a way you can sustain for years, not weeks.
