Resistance training preserves muscle mass, strength, and functional independence — but longevity also depends on the capacity of the cardiovascular and metabolic systems that support those muscles, and this 2-hour live webinar with Dr. Arland Hill is about building that engine. The session explores the complementary roles of Zone 2 aerobic training and VO2 max interval training in improving mitochondrial function, metabolic flexibility, cardiovascular health, and resilience across the lifespan — the physiology behind each method, the evidence for its role in reducing chronic disease and mortality risk, and how the two fit together in a patient recommendation.
The two hours move from the physiology — what Zone 2 work does to mitochondrial density and fat oxidation, what VO2 max intervals do to cardiac output and peak aerobic capacity, and why cardiorespiratory fitness tracks mortality so closely — through the evidence base for each method in chronic disease and all-cause mortality, into practical prescription: how to set zones without a lab, how much of each a patient actually needs, how to progress a deconditioned adult safely, and how aerobic conditioning sits alongside the resistance-training recommendations already in your care plans. Attend live on Tuesday, December 8, 7–9 PM Central; complete the brief post-webinar assessment; your certificate is in your account the same night.
Choose Your Live CE Path — Three Lanes, One Calendar
Every CCEDseminars webinar is live, PACE-approved, and taught in real time by practicing DC faculty with Q&A. Build by what your board requires, what your patients need, or the certification you are working toward. The full quarter lives on the live webinar calendar.
1 · TBCE Required
The Board-mandated live hours for Texas licensees — ethics, rules, documenting, and risk management — taught by Dr. Hall every month.
Ethics: TBCE Required & PACE Approved
Documentation & Risk: Audit-Ready Workflows
2 · Clinical & Longevity
Spinal manipulation and longevity, chiropractic nutrition and healthy aging, autonomic resilience, muscle as medicine, physical examination, regenerative medicine — the clinical sessions from Drs. Hall, Benedikt, Hill, Ozello, and O'Hara that count toward the live-format hours many states require. You are here: Building the Engine, December 8.
3 · Certification Track
Live sessions that also build toward CCEDseminars certification programs, including the Certified Longevity Health Specialist (CLHS) curriculum.
New live sessions are added to the calendar each quarter.
What You'll Learn — Course Agenda
- The engine behind the muscle: why cardiovascular and metabolic capacity, not strength alone, set the ceiling on healthspan.
- Zone 2 physiology: mitochondrial function, fat oxidation, lactate clearance, and metabolic flexibility — what steady aerobic work actually trains.
- VO2 max physiology: peak aerobic capacity, cardiac output, and why cardiorespiratory fitness is one of the strongest predictors of mortality.
- Grading the evidence: what the literature supports for Zone 2 and interval training in chronic disease, cardiovascular risk, and all-cause mortality.
- Complementary, not competing: how low-intensity volume and high-intensity intervals fit together across a week and across a lifespan.
- Prescribing without a lab: practical zone estimation, dose, frequency, progression, and safety for deconditioned and older patients.
- Into the care plan: integrating aerobic conditioning with resistance training, nutrition, and recovery in patient recommendations.
Your Live Webinar Faculty
Arland Hill, DC, MPH, DACBN — instructor of this webinar — is a chiropractic physician with a Master of Public Health, a Diplomate of the American Clinical Board of Nutrition, Director of Clinical Education at Biotics Research Corporation, and the clinical longevity and healthspan faculty for CCEDseminars. A Texas Chiropractic College graduate who lectured at Texas A&M College of Medicine for fifteen years and practices at Genesis Wellness Center, Dr. Hill leads the muscle-as-medicine and healthspan track — translating aging, metabolism, and exercise research into protocols chiropractors can use in everyday patient care.
Michael Hall, DC, FIACN — board-certified chiropractic neurologist and Fellow of the International Academy of Chiropractic Neurology — leads the Texas TBCE ethics and compliance track, the Documentation & Risk series, and the spinal manipulation and longevity sessions.
Dennis O'Hara, DC, DACBSP — Diplomate of the American Chiropractic Board of Sports Physicians — leads the sports chiropractic and functional movement sessions.
Howard Benedikt, DC, DCBCN — Diplomate of the Chiropractic Board of Clinical Nutrition — leads the clinical nutrition and functional medicine sessions, and Donald Ozello, DC, CCN, CCSM brings the physical examination and athletic injury sessions to the live calendar. Full bios and the complete instructor roster: CCEDseminars faculty page.
Where Live Hours Count — State Rules Worth Knowing
Texas: under Texas Administrative Code §73.1, licensees complete 16 hours of CE each year — the Board-required topics in a live format, plus additional live or webinar hours, with the balance available online. This clinical webinar counts toward the live-format hours beyond the Board-required block; for the Board-required block itself, see Ethics: TBCE Required & PACE Approved and Documentation & Risk: Audit-Ready Workflows. CCEDseminars reports completions to the TBCE directly. Full detail on the Texas chiropractic CE guidelines page.
Other states: many boards require that a portion of each renewal cycle's hours be earned in a live format, and most accept PACE-approved live webinars toward that portion; nutrition and clinical-topic allowances vary. Check your state's guide in the full state directory before building your renewal plan.
Build Your Live Block
Live hours are the scarce ones in most renewal cycles — boards cap what you can do online, not what you can do live. This session fills two of them with exercise-prescription content you can hand a patient the next morning, and it closes out the quarter's Clinical & Longevity sessions on emotional resilience, functional movement, and healthy aging. Texas licensees can stack it on top of the Board-required Ethics and Documentation & Risk block; licensees elsewhere can apply it toward their state's live-format portion.

Building the Engine: Zone 2, VO2 Max & Cardiovascular Longevity — Frequently Asked Questions
What does this Zone 2 and VO2 max webinar cover?
The physiology and evidence behind the two forms of aerobic conditioning that most affect healthspan: Zone 2 training for mitochondrial function, fat oxidation, and metabolic flexibility, and VO2 max interval training for peak aerobic capacity and cardiovascular health; the research linking cardiorespiratory fitness to chronic disease and mortality risk; and practical strategies for prescribing zones, dose, progression, and safety so aerobic conditioning fits into patient recommendations alongside resistance training. By the end you will be able to explain the mechanisms of each method, weigh the evidence for their role in longevity, and build aerobic conditioning into a patient care plan. Also known as Zone 2 training CE for chiropractors, VO2 max and longevity webinar, cardiovascular healthspan course, and exercise prescription CE.
When is the webinar, and what is the format?
Tuesday, December 8, 2026, from 7:00 to 9:00 PM Central Time — a live, interactive webinar with Dr. Arland Hill and real-time Q&A. Attendance is verified during the session, a brief assessment follows, and your certificate is available in your account immediately upon completion. Register with the Add to Cart button and your access details are sent to your account email before the event.
Zone 2 or VO2 max intervals — which one should my patients be doing?
Both — and the session is built around how they complement each other. Zone 2 volume builds the mitochondrial and metabolic base; VO2 max intervals raise the ceiling on aerobic capacity, which is one of the strongest predictors of all-cause mortality in the literature. Dr. Hill walks through the physiology of each, what the evidence supports for chronic disease and longevity, and how to apportion them for a given patient — including the deconditioned or older adult who has never trained aerobically — without needing a metabolic lab to set the zones.
What if I register but cannot attend live?
Live-format credit requires live attendance, because that is what state boards mandate for these hours. If you cannot attend on December 8, check the live webinar calendar for the next available session, and CCEDseminars support can move your registration to a later date. Contact us before the event if your plans change.
How do certificates and reporting work?
Each completion generates an instant certificate with a permanent copy in your account dashboard. CCEDseminars is PACE Provider #34015544, co-sponsored by Texas Chiropractic College, reports directly to the Texas Board of Chiropractic Examiners, and handles CE Broker reporting automatically for states served — so your live hours are on record without extra paperwork. The complete approval list appears at the bottom of this page.
State Approval and Licensing Reminder
Continuing education requirements — including online-hour caps and live-hour minimums — vary by jurisdiction. Review the online chiropractic CE guidelines page and contact CCEDseminars with questions about your specific licensing requirements before registering.
