Back when I was into body building I couldn't run for shit. My heart was still unhealthy. I got just as tired from running a block as I did after not lifting for 8 years. It gave me no aerobic benefit and did not help my triglyceride levels. Cardio and simply replacing my red meat intake with fish did. Ive only been doing cardio for 6 months and have only went from 188 lbs to 183 lbs and it is like night and day for my health. I felt sluggish alot when the focus was just strength training and that was when I was a younger man. I feel the absolute best I have ever felt in my entire life. Someday Id like to do both but for now focusing on the heart and blood levels. Last edited by BWillie; 08-20-2024 at 07:55 PM.. |

Say you get down to the weight you think is what you need to be to live how you want to live... What are you going to do if your wife were to fall down and is unable to get up and you are too weak to help her as well? |

BWillie did his BWilliest with that one... no point in even starting to dissect all the idiocy when someone puts so much effort in being the reeruned-est version of themselves.

It's good to aim for a variety. I do a lot of running every week, but I also try to do two or three sessions of yoga, as those help me with balance, mobility, and strength, and counteract some of the distorting effects of long-distance running, especially the tight hip and leg muscles that come with long-distance running. https://health.gov/myhealthfinder/he...der-quick-tips Last edited by DanT; Yesterday at 12:29 PM.. |

Is your contention that weighing more is generally more healthy than weighing less? |

I currently try to remember stretching whatever I worked out on the same day, but often forget... and then will sometimes stretch between sets or if I have a long Teams meeting that I can stand for. |

I do Vinyasa. I started going last year, due to some very tight hip and leg muscles and the fact that I could barely touch my knees, let alone get close to my ankles. ![]() My intention was to improve my mobility, but I learned through doing it that my balance also needed a lot of work and that the postures also help with muscle strength. I'm not very skilled at it, but I enjoy the challenge of doing it and I can see that it has helped me. I've been sticking with the "beginner-friendly" classes for now, but my studio wants more of us to trickle into the more advanced classes and I might start going to those occasionally, too.
