AMA #14: 2023 Philanthropy, Evening Routine, Light Therapy, Health Metrics & More

About this video

This end-of-year AMA covers 2023 philanthropy, evening routines, light therapy and health metrics. On fitness testing, Huberman discusses benchmarks associated with Peter Attia, such as deadlifting your body weight ten times and hanging from a bar for a minute or more, while saying his own goal is simply capability: hiking five to ten miles with hills, sprinting for a plane, or carrying heavy furniture safely. He describes his own three weekly cardiovascular sessions, one long and slow session of an hour to ninety minutes, one faster run of about thirty-five minutes, and one short, hard interval session of about twelve minutes. Huberman argues that this combination keeps him ready for real-world demands without training to be a marathoner or champion sprinter.

Key takeaways

• Huberman discusses fitness benchmarks such as deadlifting body weight for ten reps and hanging for a minute.
• Huberman says his own training goal is everyday capability rather than elite performance.
