In this episode, Ben Azadi breaks down the 5 worst exercises for people over 40 that may increase inflammation, elevate cortisol, damage joints, accelerate muscle loss, and negatively impact longevity. From long-distance running on pavement to heavy barbell back squats, sit-ups, crunches, and high-impact HIIT workouts, Ben explains the science behind why these exercises become more problematic as we age. You’ll also learn smarter alternatives that support healthy aging, including zone 2 cardio, strength training, walking, rucking, and functional core exercises designed to preserve muscle, protect your spine, improve recovery, and help you feel stronger for decades to come. Ben also shares why muscle mass is one of the greatest predictors of lifespan and how shifting from intensity to longevity-focused training can completely transform your health after 40.
