For some anti-aging is a big deal and a priority for a lot of people, so today we bring you the best anti-aging workout, according to the European Health Journal.
When it comes to an anti-aging workout, you’ll want to sign up for endurance and high-intensity interval training (HIIT) classes, a workout that we absolutely love too! But let’s fill you in on a little anti-aging anatomy. To help the body slow down the again process, the chromosomes are something to pay attention to, specifically the telomere. A telomere is a region of repetitive nucleotide sequences at each end of a chromosome, which protects the end of the chromosome from deterioration. The deteriorating of the telomere is a true sign of aging, meaning our cells are not regenerating quick enough. The health of a telomere is vital to anti-aging–we need to keep them long.
The participants in the study who were in the endurance and HIIT exercise group had higher telomere lengths and a higher presence of telomerase compared to those who did not follow the endurance and HIIT exercise routine. In fact, endurance and HIIT workouts were two to three times more effective in lengthening the telomeres when compared to resistance training. “…endurance training, high intensity interval training and resistance training – on the way cells in the human body age, and they found that endurance and high intensity training both slowed or even reversed cellular aging, but that resistance training did not.” – European Health Journal
