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.
