Bryan Johnson and others debate exercise myths: cardio is underrated for leanness but won't make you lean, Zone 2 training gets overrated, and Bulgarian split squats work as well as heavy squats. They argue for a balanced mix of strength, endurance, and intensity rather than chasing one type of exercise.
Come hither. In the not so distant future, we discovered something truly terrifying about exercise. Most people who exercise are doing it all wrong and it's shortening their lives.
Exercise will definitely help you live a longer, happier life. It's just not the best way to lose weight.
Cardio is the most underrated thing you can do to maintain or get a lean physique. Exercise is actually pretty useless when it comes to weight loss. You should be doing cardio.
The higher intensity of cardio, the worse. Zone 2 training is overrated. Squat is often called the king of exercise.
Stop squatting. Instead of heavy back squats, I would recommend Bulgarian split squats or leg presses.
If you listen to the internet, exercise would be impossible. Lift heavy. Don't lift heavy. Run. Never run. Cardio kills gains. No. No, lifting kills endurance. Everyone has the answer. Everyone claims they have the science to back it up. And everyone thinks the other person is wrong. This is the laziest training I've ever fucking seen. But here's the truth. Your body isn't one system. It's many systems working together. Ignore one and the others eventually suffer. Which means the real question isn't what's the best type of exercise? It's what combination of exercises keeps you alive the longest?
