Dr. James DiNicolantonio, a renowned cardiovascular research scientist and author of nine bestselling health-related books, has made significant contributions to medical literature and media.

His expertise has been showcased on platforms such as The Dr. Oz Show and various international news outlets, solidifying his reputation as a leading health and nutrition expert.

Emphasizing the importance of a diverse exercise regimen for longevity, DiNicolantonio asserts that there is no single best exercise.

His holistic approach to fitness combines muscle building, heart health, and flexibility, which collectively enhance mobility, cardiovascular health, bone health, and insulin sensitivity.

A balanced fitness routine should incorporate resistance training, cardiovascular activities, and stretching to achieve optimal health.

Resistance exercises are recommended to be performed 2-5 times a week for 45-60 minutes, focusing on 6-12 reps with the last few reps being particularly challenging.

In addition, stretching should be included in the routine three times a week for 20 minutes to enhance flexibility and mobility.

Cardiovascular activities, such as running and biking, should be undertaken three times a week, with a goal of achieving 10,000 steps daily, or 6-7,000 steps for individuals over the age of 60.
