Why you should do cardio (hint: it's not for weight loss)

When you think of cardio, is weight loss the first thing that comes to mind? What if I told you that cardio isn’t about burning calories or shedding pounds? In this video, we’ll uncover the real reasons why cardio workouts are essential for your health—and they go far beyond just fat loss. From improving heart health and VO2 max to boosting your metabolism and enhancing brain function, cardio exercise is a true game-changer for your overall well-being.

We’ll explore how the best cardio routines, like Zone 2 cardio, can improve longevity, regulate your circadian rhythm, and even support mental health by reducing cortisol levels and enhancing sleep quality. You’ll learn why cardio is vital for immunity and how it helps with senescent cells removal naturally, reducing inflammation markers like c-reactive protein and slowing cellular ageing. Whether you’re interested in cardio for weight loss or simply want to feel more energised and vibrant, this video has something for you.

Discover how cardio impacts brain health, metabolism, and even functional fitness as we dive into its role in improving VO2 max (as discussed by experts like Peter Attia), boosting energy levels, and supporting your immune system. We’ll also discuss practical tips for incorporating cardio into your routine in a sustainable way.
