I hated it too. Big time. It felt like a little death, but slow jogging is easy enough and with the do not s..train yourself rule to keep yourself in check it can be energising instead of exhausting.
I really like the way this channel focuses on improving people’s health with daily activities easy to put into practice. Way better than the usual ripped self-proclaimed gurus setting unrealistic standards and feeding us the idea that the only way to be fit is to spend your entire spare time inside a gym. I’ll be following closely every video
Thank you for the kind words, sir. Thank you for not shaming me for talking about fitness without bulging muscles, but for seeing this channel for what it is. In a lot of respects I feel like there is a Church of Fitness out there that proclaims that there is no salvation (fitness) outside of it. It is my honest belief (derived from my own experience) that if you have 10-15 minutes a day, you can be fit. No gyms, weights or any other special equipment needed. That's how I started out and I do more stuff now 1. because it's fun and 2. it improves my life and fixes problems I used to have. I sincerely hope you'll find some benefit here and thank you for watching and commenting.
I am a new kind of Fitness Guru :D Lol... ehm... I'm only just an anthropologist, really, but I seek to bring end to all suffering. Or at least fitness related suffering. It's not only unnecessary, it could be deadly too.
Slow/easy training has a lot of benefits, but v02 max (maximum volume of oxygen you can utilize per time unit) has been showed to be the best link to risk of all cause mortality with in the next 10 or 20 years. And the best way to increase v02 max is.. hard training(example 4x4 min all out running or bike or other activity that get your heart rate up) you can finds dr Peter Attia talk a lot about this.
Sure, VO2 max improvements are good. But, you have to know your fitness level and know the risk of dropping dead if you try to do too intense of an exercise too soon - and a lot of people don't. There are a lot of really fit people in the morgues everywhere and it's not something that is being talked about enough.
I've always been compelled to push my body to its limits when running, I'll slow it down from now on. Thanks for the thoroughly researched advice! P.S. the meatheads don't care about being able to do chin-ups anyways, only care about the size of their muscles 🤣
Ha! Glad to be of service! Oh my, you are might be spot on with the muscle size. What was I thinking that what you actually can do with them might count for something!
Well, you can slow jog :D Athenians would have waited for the news a few more hours but Pheiddipides would have been alive (for a while), they were all ancient Greeks, they all died.
Thanks for this video. Does slow jogging hurt your back in any way? I'm over 60 and have had back episodes in the past. I exercise daily (yoga, stretching and some weights), but would like to add some cardio. Hence, my question.
I'm just an anthropologist, so you should consult your physician. My unqualified thoughts are that it really depends on your back condition. If done right, and if one lands right, that is "midfoot strike" then the impact on the spine should be minimised. But minimised does not mean non-existent. You know your back best, you can be the judge try a small dose of few minutes one day and see what happens. You can also look into things that could help your back... like hanging? Please take care of yourself and stay safe. Err on the side of caution.
Well, we all have to work with our limitations. With proper posture and technique and landing on the balls of your feet you don't send as many shocks up your spine. But, I'm not a doctor, so you have to be discerning. Good luck with sorting out the back pain. Check out my hanging video :)
I must admit ignorance. What is 100K? A quick Google search yielded me nothing. If it's 100 000 USD, then I can see how this maybe be more fun than slow jogging for a while (until you spend it) :D
