Formal cardio has limits on its impact on cardiovascular health and longevity compared to maintaining physical activity, good body composition, and consistency.

“I would never deny the benefit of formal cardio. But it's just how I navigate my training and stick with what I enjoy. I do enough volume through the week to where, I would say that, look, whoever loves endurance adaptations, increases in VO2 max, pushing that in, great, good for you. I just think that there's a limit to how much that will benefit cardiovascular health and/or longevity compared to just staying physically active, keeping good body composition, and just being consistent with that.”
