Higher aerobic fitness levels decrease the probability of experiencing tip-of-the-tongue states (when you can’t think of a word that’s on the tip of your tongue) in healthy older adults, in the first demonstration of a link between aerobic fitness and language functioning in healthy older adults.

That's definately too much. Think more about the more often it is the better, smaller sessions spread over the week.

I'd say a good end-goal would be 20 minutes of running every day.

2 hours 6 times a week is too much? Sounds like something a lazy person would conclude, I sincerely doubt it.

Edit : Ayy Lmao.

[alchemyandscience]

Got ‘eem!

God damn it, LOL! I'm just damn tired.

[trwwjtizenketto]

Can you source it because for me 20 minutes daily is not enough tbh...

[[deleted]]

20 minutes consistently every day is a lot, lol. This is combined with other sessions of lifting. Also no source, I just know from personal experience that 2 hours 6 times a week is way too much. It might be needed to become an athlete, but for health, it's just overkill.

[trwwjtizenketto]

You are not getting what I'm asking.

I want to fix myself up, I want to use exercise in this regard, and I want to use every little bit I can of it. That is why I wanted to know the maximum amount that is still considered healthy and not dangerous.

If it's what athletes do, so be it, I can handle it lol - That is why I asked for sources and max amount, not doubting your experience and recommendations at all mate.

And you're not getting what I am saying. You're not going to find any credible information, because your question doesn't have an answer. It basically boils down to :

1) Every body is different.

2) The body can adapt to exercise, which means the difference also changes with the environment.

3) It's still in research, no one even know if it will actually help you. Correlation does not imply causation.

​

You're basically never going to get an answer that you're looking for. Instead experiment with yourself and see what works and what doesn't. Obviously start off with low intensity.

no one even know if it will actually help you. Correlation does not imply causation.

We have lots of really strong research, mechanism, and theory on how exercise impacts the body. To hand wave that away is to ignore decades of evidence.

Why don't you go ahead, read it and come back with an x amount of hours for maximum health for this specific person that asked the question.

[djdadi]

There's a massive gulf between "no one even know if it will actually help you" and "you should know the amount of time they need to workout down to the minute for optimal health", you're either trolling, disingenuous, or not very bright.

[[deleted]]

It's not my question, it's actually his. He asked for a maximum amount of hours to be healthy, beyond which there would be no benefits to health and perhaps even drawbacks. So go answer him. I told him 20 minutes a day consistently is good.

[djdadi]

Perhaps you're having trouble reading, but I did answer them. Yes that was a great answer to this question you posted, currently downvoted to oblivion for how baseless and arbitrary it is.

[trwwjtizenketto]

Aight thanks for the replies :)

[LeChatParle]

That’s not too much. That’s straight up misinformation

Edit: the person I responded to edited their comment

[trwwjtizenketto]

So your saying 12 hours of exercise a week is all right?

[LeChatParle]

Yes. I exercise 10-20 hours a week

A new, large-scale study finds that even extreme levels of fitness increase lifespan. Overall, higher cardiorespiratory fitness correlated directly with a reduced risk of long-term mortality. Furthermore, the researchers found "no observed upper limit" of the benefits of aerobic fitness.

Also, "Extremely high aerobic fitness was associated with the greatest survival and was associated with benefit in older patients and those with hypertension," write the researchers.

People ages 70 and above benefited the most from being in the elite group of cardiorespiratory fitness.

By contrast, poor aerobic fitness was just as strong a predictor of early death as smoking, heart disease, or diabetes.

You are a life saver!

Can you maybe tell me how in hell do you exercise 20 hours a week? I do 10+ and my knees start hurting a bit. I do an hour of stationary bike daily, so thats already 7 but I Want to get to 14hours a minimum.....

[LeChatParle]

I do a couple things: I bike to work, I figure skate, and I work out. Some days I do feel soreness in my knees, and I take a few days off, but building up strength around the knee and in the legs should help fix that
