What Hacker News says
- Walking 2 hours per day is a completely impractical fantasy.
A better resource: Body By Science a book containing recommendations based on research and data. The overall goal is proper volume of effective effort of cardio and strength exercise that doesn't take too long and reduces risks of wear/tear and injury.
- Doug McGuff, "Body by Science". Downvotes to my very helpful and lifesaving original comment is by losers who will run till they die.
- Agree. And if you hate going to the gym then I recommend the book “Body by Science”. It shows how to get stronger every week spending less than 30 min in the gym once a week. I have followed it for years now and it works. It won’t turn you into a body builder. But it will make you stronger every week.
- I highly recommend the book “Body by Science”. I have followed it for months and my strength has more than doubled. Spending only 15 minutes a week in the gym. Yes fifteen minutes. Once a week. The book explains why it works. The actual exercises is only a few pages. Perfect for anybody who hates going to the gym and/or can’t do cardio.
- Moons ago, Thunderf00t had a video on the topic.
People who think they're going to lose any significant weight by exercising are likely deluding themselves.
I would:
- GLP-1 agonist
- Metformin
- Throw out most of the carbs and oils
- Only buy foods with low caloric density
Effective and low-risk exercise is good for its own many purposes. Almost no one makes effective use of time and effort in the gym because they would need to understand muscle fiber types, biomechanics, risks to joints, appropriate exercises with form, what the data says to do in a given scenario, have that enormous data set interpreted by sports medicine data scientists, and chart progression of sets. An approximate template of general recommendations based on older data is available in the convenient form of a book called "Body by Science."
- I walk 45 min every day and do lifts once a week. I highly recommend the book “Body by Science”. It’s a weight lift book for people like me who hate lifting weights. It shows you how to gain strength spending only 15 min a week in the gym. It’s simple. It works. I have increased my body strength quite substantially following it.
