Better cardio respiratory fitness leads to a longer life

High cardio respiratory fitness( CRF)  is accompanied by a reduced risk of death, independent of age, sex, ethnicity and comorbidities.  Cardio respiratory fitness is considered as one of the most important mortality predictors.

There has been accumulating evidence from large-scale studies suggesting that mortality from all causes decreases with increasing CRF levels, apparently without upper limit of CRF
The risk associated with poor cardio respiratory fitness was comparable to or even exceeded that of traditional clinical risk factors, such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes and smoking.

Another study's findings emphasize the long-term benefits of exercise and fitness, even to extreme levels, regardless of age or coexistent cardiovascular disease.

The benefits of CRF have been well documented and can reduce the development of chronic diseases such as hypertension, dia-betes, stroke, and cancer. Additionally, CRF can promote healthy cognitive function and relieve symptoms of depression. Improving your fitness can also help you live a longer life.

It is therefore important that we make an effort to improve our fitness to improve our health no matter what age we maybe and I don't mean going running a marathon( train for it if you want though)

To improve your fitness try these two programs:

5 x 30 minute moderate paced walks or cycling per week

OR if you want to take it up a level:

 4 x 3 minute intervals at 8-9/10 effort with 3 minutes of passive recovery(3/10 effort)between intervals.

I would be more than happy to help you with comprehensive program to take your fitness to a new level
