Dr. Ben Levine proposed a training protocol aimed at improving VO2max, metabolic health, and cardiovascular fitness:
* One hour of fun, moderate-intensity aerobic activity (e.g., dancing, walking);
* One 30-minute session of high-intensity exercise (e.g., Norwegian 4×4 protocol);
* Two to three 30-minute sessions at moderate intensity (when you are able to talk);
* One to two days of strength training (for all major muscle groups).
