Come follow me around and speak with my 90 year old patients. First thing out of their mouth when asked how they are doing is “Terrible”!!!

Bro, if you don’t want to do it or physically can’t, fine.
Bro, I'm not telling people what they can or can't do. I'm over 50. My office is on the 4th floor of an office building and I take the stairs up and down multiple times a day. I always said that I'm not handicap and I will take the stairs instead of the elevator. As for running, it's definitely a lot harder that just 10 years ago. My knees and shins can't take much more than one mile at a time, so brisk walking for me mostly.

I'd be willing. My back won't be though. Also my foot, considering it loves a good stress fracture.
Throw knees in there, just for good measure.

If I’m allowed to include the time spent in sauna/steam room and cold plunge, might get within neighborhood of total. Those increase heart rates and have similarities with brisk walking.
Maybe 20% of total vigorous with 80% moderate.

You sound fat

Coming from someone who runs every day, this is an absurd amount of exercise in a week for the average human. Hell, more than average human.
Just a stupid "study".
Keep in mind that "moderate" exercise means something like brisk walking. Studies usually call workout classes, running, lifting, etc. "vigorous" exercise and count it as double. 90 minutes a day of brisk walking for 30%+ reduction in cardiac episodes seems right when you consider that.

The benefits of being fit include an extended middle age. You are likely to get the shitty ending no matter what. But if you are fit, your middle age will go far into what is normally considered elderly, and your bad ending will likely be three to six months.
The book Outlive gives a great statistical look at it, as well as great advice on how to manage it.

Maybe you'e right. I don’t think that's true, but if it is, and the majority of humanity is literally physically incapable of a two hour walk, then frick everything. We’re done.

Same, I take the stairs and walk it whenever I can. Otherwise I ride a bike for exercise which is easy on the joints and less boring than a stationary machine.
The amount of cardio this article calls for is simply not realistic for people with full time jobs, kids, etc. You can only be a workout warrior if you have the time.

2200 steps = 1 mile for me.
My avg is around 10K per day.
Obviously, not all at a exercise rate, but just moving that much per day is pretty key.

The extension is so you push everything back.
My dad never exercised. Ever. I feel a lot better at 33 than he did.
The end is going to be painful. There's no way around it. But I'll take feeling 15% better throughout my entire life.
It's not just about extending life. Have you ever buckled down, ate clean, and exercised for a couple of months? I'm sure you have. It feels fricking amazing.

All good. What I was referring to mostly was that this rec is for ~2 hrs/day. While I believe that, the other thing is that it's more of a time thing.
