Hey friends, welcome back. So in today's session we're going to talk about what is the best form

of exercise for your heart? Continuous cardio versus resistance training slash interval training.

So we're going to talk about a recently published study that I thought was really fascinating.

And what is really unique about this study was conducted by researchers in Israel,

they followed individuals after they had a cardiovascular event, i.e. a heart attack or myocardial

infarction. And what they sought to see is what is best for not just the heart and electrochemical

changes and the QT dispersion. These are all objective ways to sort of quantify the

electrophysiology of the heart that can be there can be aberrations in that in an after a heart

attack. But they also wanted to see what form of exercise was best for reducing visceral fat

in waist circumference and other approximations of having a sudden cardiac death or an event

and an arrhythmia because it turns out that visceral adiposity in particular is linked with poor

outcomes and people who have already had a cardiovascular event, i.e. a heart attack. Now,

I'm sharing this with you because as we talked about on many other videos and podcasts over

the past several years, heart disease, despite all the COVID-19 stuff, was the number one

cause of mortality in the US and throughout the world for the past two years. It claimed more than

twice as many lives than did COVID-19. It was also the number one risk factor for severe COVID-19.

We would like to help people better prevent having a heart attack in the first place

and if they have high blood pressure or cardiovascular risk factors, we want to prevent them from

having future complications down the road. Let's talk about what this study found is they

randomized individuals to two different groups. Group A, let's just say, did continuous cardio

for about 45 minutes, several days per week. Group B, and I'll share with you the image that conveys

the story much better than I can right here, did a combination of what they called super circuit
