Hello. I'm curious about the best types of exercise for anti-aging benefits. I’ve heard that certain workouts can help reduce signs of aging, improve muscle mass, and boost overall health. What exercises do you recommend for someone looking to stay youthful and fit? Is it more beneficial to focus on strength training, cardio, flexibility, or a combination of these? Also, any tips on how often I should be working out to see noticeable results? I’m looking to develop a sustainable routine that I can stick with long-term. Appreciate your insights!
The most anti-aging exercise?

You can approach this in several ways:
1. Hire a trainer at your local gym and have him/her design a basic weight lifting routine.
2. Use the three core exercises of power lifting: Squat, deadlift and bench press. It is strongly recommended that you consult with a power lifting coach, not only to properly learn these movements, but to have him/her create a wholistic program which minimizes injury and to ensure that you thrive in this endeavor.
3. Use the two core exercises of Olympic lifting: Power cleans and snatch (no jokes, please!
. These movements are highly athletic and complex. You absolutely need a coach to continuously guide you towards competence.
4. Join a Cross-fit gym. Cross-fit is extremely intense. It not only uses power and Olympic lifting exercises in a session, but it also incorporates some gymnastic movements as well. It requires coaching as well, at least initially.
5. Use purely body weight exercises. This can range from very basic and not so athletic movements to very difficult and highly challenging exercises such as:

What you choose will highly depend on your age, current physical fitness status, injury history, appetite for challenging routines, and the amount of dedication and commitment you are willing to expend.

I couldn't squat for 3 to 4 decades.
It could be so bad that I didn't dare to sit down (because I had to bend the knee).
Then I cut down the toxic UPF ultra-processed food and sugary drinks massively,
eat tons of probiotics and home-cook food,
and do daily stretching exercises.
After 1 year, I could squat.
Unfortunately, I went for a holiday
and now I cannot squat.
To hell with toxic man-made food.
About 80% of supermarket food is unhealthy.
About 99% of the restaurant food / outside cooked food/fast food/slow food is unhealthy.
Watch out for what you eat.
You are what you eat.
PS - Some of you wouldn't be able to do squatting exercises because of the very intense knee pain.
