I agree with everything you have there. I’m also not somebody who spends more time running than lifting. I love lifting but I’ve been on the side of lifting 6 times a week with ZERO cardio thinking I was fit.

quote:
3 days lifting

quote:
10k steps per day

quote:
2 days of hard conditioning

That is certainly an efficient and effective program

In agreement with you about intense cardio being more beneficial than the other zones, I think research shows that. I’ll have to do some more reading on the benefits of zone 1 walking vs zone 2 jogging or hiking.

both show lots of benefits to all cause mortality and longevity

i like zone 1 because its easier on the joints for most people

and also understand, obviously i was joking about jogging being douchey and i was being over the top. but if you look around in the normal population you dont see many over muscled guys. its estimated that less than 8% of the population do any form of resistance training atleast once weekly. much higher % jog, yet overall health outcomes are way way down as is overall muscle mass on teens and young adults and estimated to be 8-10lbs less of lean muscle when comparing teenagers of the 70/80/90s to now despite an uptick in strength and conditioning in sports

overall IMO strength training is the lowest hanging fruit outside of walking. thats why im so big on it.
