Transcript

so people eat calories as if I don't eat 3,000 calories a day. Guys, I love to run. Running requires now so much food. Now, I have nothing against guys who want to get jacked, lifting weights in the gym. That was exactly what I did in college. For me, right now, I want to focus on being mobile and athletic and cardio focused. My goal right now is not any bigger. Honestly, maintain have my the muscle mass I have, while increasing my cardiovascular health. I just got my VO2 max max to a 62. If you guys do not know your VO2 max is one of the strongest, not single strongest predictor of longevity because all cause mortality. Yeah, if you guys want a more holistic approach to fitness and longevity in general and great out. Peace out.
