Longevity Fitness.

VO₂ max, Zone 2, strength, body composition, and building a baseline.

A practical guide to the fitness metrics that help you understand where you stand — VO₂ max, Zone 2 cardio, grip strength, lean muscle mass, and body composition. Not a training plan. A framework for knowing what to measure, what the numbers mean, and what “fitness for the next forty years” actually looks like.

An editorial note

“We wrote this for the reader with a dozen tabs open who still can’t tell which sources to trust. Start here.”

We sell longevity protocols. We also write about them.

Prologue’s editorial team wrote this guide. We try to be useful without overpromising. We cite our sources. When the science is strong, we say so. When it is still emerging, we say that too.
