Why women 'need less exercise than men' | BBC Global 

Don't speak for others. You might be lazy, others work out daily.

@@CordeliaWagner1999 idk. You sound kinda crazy.

​@@CordeliaWagner1999 that mentality is why we have a healthy crisis.

@@francisquebachmann7375 Do I sound spacey? Srry my thoughts are a bit racy.

@CordeliaWagner1999 the root comment meant a more general sense as most people are out of shape. If you are, then ignore it. We do need more poeople to start exercising

Doesn’t matter when women have to eat less to maintain their metabolic needs. On average, more men than women are overweight

Not really. If you had a man and a woman eat a terrible diet but the man burned off calories by exercising everyday while the woman sat on a couch and became morbidly obese, the man would live longer.

Longer, but not necessarily higher health quality. Women tend to suffer from more long term diseases than men.

@@annwe6 Probably due to the toxins in tampons. It has been discovered, in 2024, that tampons are poisonous. They contain poisons like arsenic and lead.

​@annwe6 women are also much more likely to go to a doctor and seek medical attention for any given reason and tend to work less laborious and hazardous jobs (like construction) and also women consume less nicotine and alcohol overall compared to men. One could argue the quality of life in terms of health isn't that much different 1 way or the other.

@@davidterrell1242 Women are more likely tp spend more time on childcare and household duties - even when they're also working. Women do more emotional labor at home and at work. Women are more likely to do equal work for less pay. Women are more likely to be the victims of SA, DV and/or un-alived by their spouses. Women also face sexism on the daily, which affects their mental health through harassment, discrimination, or an internalized sense of inferiority. They may also pay more for everyday items, such as toys, clothes, and protective gear, as well as for services like senior home healthcare. Male privilege is real. Enjoy it.

Yes please.

Well women can feel better about their emotional eating habits now. Don't turn down that bag of chips!

​@@JimmyHeightprojecting much?

@@NoctLightCloud I don't eat bags of chips. I usually prefer 12 eggs per day and a nice juicy steak with a glass of milk

& call themselves BBW if they CBA to exercise 🏃‍♀️🏋‍♀️​@@JimmyHeight

That still doesn’t mean there shouldn’t be equity

But nice try tho

@@Commentator488 I'm all for equality while respecting differences

@@pwalk4160 It’s called equity or fairness and it’s exactly what you just said

​​@@pwalk4160then that's not equality that's called cherry picking Kinda like male & female tennis 🎾 players getting paid the same in grand slams despite playing different numbers of sets. Wimbledon only ended last week

She was a real feminist for fighting against the gender energy gap

@@Ducktility You joke but for centuries it was considered unladylike to exert yourself in any kind of sport or be seen as a "tomboy"

@@mister_manager I see

​​@@mister_manager ppl haven't even been playing sports regularly for centuries (ppl only started to play regular organised sports in the mid to late 1800s) & netball was invented for women(as a ladylike sport)to play & even to this day men aren't allowed to play netball professionally only women are. In male dominanted sports women are still allowed to play professionally

Depends on your heart rate.

I always knew that 😅

funny thing though; women actually tested higher when it comes to wanting equality & making progressive decisions for society as a whole, as where men voted more selfishly

​@@jalaaaahwomen want equality in areas where women cannot compete or do less work. But women don't want equality where women are better. Still you are confusing kindness with equality.

@@jalaaaahnot wanting progressivism is selfish?

​@@jalaaaahmost women who claim to want equality cherry pick as and when it suits them. As we see with Wimbledon that only ended last week at grand slams male & female tennis 🎾 players get paid the same despite playing different amounts of sets. In Ukraine only men get conscripted for war (i haven't seen an pro western/pro Ukrainians speak out against this but I've come across many who support the war in general) , in male dominanted sports women are allowed to be professional but in female dominanted sports like netball men aren't allowed their own professional leagues , paternity & maternity leave is different, legally women can't be convicted of rape & women get lesser sentences for the same crime as men plus many other examples of inequality both legally & in terms of social attitudes but sure women (who say they are feminists) want equality & social progression as long as it suits them

You're really reaching here

Yeah, but men are more likely to do construction, landscaping, roofing, etc. I happen to do landscaping ( along with my husband), exercise daily, maintain our gardens and yard, and do all the cooking and cleaning.

@@dawnkeckley7502 Domestic chores are something that pretty much All women do daily. Men aren't All working in construction or building around their house daily.

"Men are more likely to do construction..." maybe in general, but compared to the number of women doing housework, it's probably minimal.

@@dawnkeckley7502 the *majority* of men are not working physical jobs, but the majority of women in heterosexual relationships do the lion's share of domestic labour.

Walk or ride a bicycle for cardio. Riding public transit is sedentary.

Running to catch the bus 😁

And eating a bag of Skittles is the equivalent of eating a salad.

How is public transportation cardio? Lol the whole reason I cycle instead of using public transport is because I consider public transport sedentary. So cycling at least 40 km a day to commute is baseline.

How is public transportation cardio? The whole reason I cycle instead of using public transport is because I consider it sedentary. You literally just sit the majority of the ride. So cycling for at least 40 km on average a day to commute is baseline for me personally.

So? They aren't talking about weightlifting or anything. Just do some groceries by foot or bike and you are halfway there.

My Garmin smart watch keeps track of "Intensity Minutes". Working out close to maximum heart rate is effectively double the minutes. So, if you workout very intensely for 20 minutes per day or 40 minutes every other day, then you get the same (or more) benefits. Exercise is very good for brain function, overall energy levels, mood, hormones, and self-esteem. I have found that when I workout more I'm significantly more productive in all other areas of my life, even though I'm spending quite a bit of time working out. My motivation and energy is higher, and I'm able to learn and think better.

Oh no 😂

Wow that's so funny 👏👏👏

@minarao1357 that doesn't make any sense , men can handle more exercise & all nutritional guides suggests that women need less food & the safe amount of alcohol & caffeine is less for women than for men. Just like with ppl on steroids the safe amount (before dying of a heart attack) is less for women than for men since it's all synthetic testosterone.

That’s a lot!

People are getting dumber

Because of patriarchy

At 1:19 I thought she was saying women, maybe it’s the accent?

It's all in the diet. You can exercise all day long but if you can't eat right then you're fucked.

Women need to work harder to burn more fat because a healthy woman has slightly more fat than a healthy man would have. We're not built for the stereotypical American lifestyle of car dependency and junk food for every other meal.

😂 it was 180 pounds last I checked. It’s bad over here

​@@Imjustacatladyyep nobody outworks a bad diet. There's fitness youtubers who have tried eating the Nick Avocado diet & then doing a bunch if exercise & I think they calculated it would take a week to burn off what he eats in a day & that's obviously an extreme example

@mikew6840 especially in Ukraine

​@@cryptocsguy9282 Can't get the joke. What do you mean?

@user-hv7eo5kt2t it's not a joke ,the point is the OP basically said that women live longer than men & by me saying Ukraine I'm referencing all the conscripted young men from Ukraine dying well before the age of 60 while women are allowed to freely leave tge country whenever they want for safety reasons, men aged 18-60 cannot leave.

😂

So? What is your point?

Lol you guys like to get mad at literally anything. That sounds depressing...

dude took it personally. Relax buddy

@@binabi Nah he is right. Time to call out the bs.

@@Hungabrigoo nah y'all are just too sensitive

​@@binabia victim mentality is also an example of excessive sensitivity. There are numerous gaps that favour women yet such casual inaccuracies are often repeated and believed

For weight gain, diet is more the main factor. You can exercise until your heart bursts, but would never lose weight if you still eat McDonalds or Chinese takeaway regularly.

The video was about heart health, not weight loss

Its not about having a beach bod, its about cardiovascular health. Much more important.

@@hildaelson4203Actually you can lose weight on McDonalds as long as you're in a calorie deficit.

"Men had to hunt", so did women.

@susi8282 Sure, but in general, it was the men. Women, in general, were in charge of making and caring for the offspring. I'm sure there are always exceptions to the rule, but evolution doesn't lie. We're the proof of that pudding. I use "we" broadly. I come from a long line of aristocratic administrators and require just as little exercise as most women. My skin is considerably paler than my fellows, as my genes spent the better part of 1000 years weighing out rice and mandating civil construction from the inside of a cool indoor tatami room.

Those goddamn koalas!

Whatever.

More exercise

AND WHAT ABOUT ALL THE NON BINARIES, AMIRITE???

Exactly. This advice for "men" and "women" is outdated, reductionist, essentialist and offensive. My transgender boyfriend who was assigned female at birth, presents still as female and has not begun transition, would they benefit from more or less cardio? He identifies as a man so should he do more cardio? ​@asantos704

@@chrisryan9191 Trans men = female health advice, trans women = male health advice. Hope that clears your confusion

@@chrisryan9191 Let him find out himself.

Come on guys, yall need to still consider AMAB and AFAB as the crux initially
