Three 5-to-8-minute workouts per week can raise VO₂ max by 12% in eight weeks, reversing over a decade of age-related decline. One person saw a 50% increase in VO₂ max after a year of consistent training. The research suggests this minimal time investment could add about two years to your life.

So research has shown, and we see this in our data, that over an 8-week period, doing 3 very short workouts per week, so 5 to 8 minutes, spending 15 to 25 minutes per week, you can expect to improve your VO2 max by around 12%. That's very substantial. So it's more than a decade of aging that you'd offset. And for the average person, that would translate into 2 years additional life expectancy. That's a phenomenal ROI, um, in terms of what you put into it and what you get out of it. It also doesn't stop there. So if you continue the improvements, most people see further improvements. In my first year, I improved my VO2 max by 50%.
