Told my friend about the 60 second exercise. After a bit, he told me that right now, he was just so busy. I told him, Kary, are talking about 60 seconds. Just shows how stuck we can be in the mire of immobility.

I wouldn’t be doing 45 min of cardio most days. I think strength and functional fitness, short intervals, far better for longevity, reduced injury, bone density and overall metabolic health.

Thanks

Swimming intervals for me. No injuries 🏊🏋‍♂️🦊 Does swimming 25 yards underwater count as an interval? Can do.🏊

Is there anyway to assess the affect on mitochondria density as a way to evaluate and compare the alternatives?

[@grateful7839]

Using the microwave to heat tea. 60 seconds of run in place, then half knee bends, then jumping jacks, fast as I can. Using the large muscles fast gets that heart pumping. Cleans out the arteries and clears your brain. Love it.

Microwave tea??😮

[@movetolondon]

@@bobsinghablethat’s what we Americans do

[@zacharyswain7034]

What about people who's genetics predispose them to being better at sprintingvs endurance? That's a factor to look into as well when considering how much of each that person should do and when considering volume of both etc etc

[@tumblingrosesstudio]

I understood that HIIT is only more effective than extended cardio for a limited % of the population. Didn't McMaster U identify that as a limitation years ago?

Tabata is all fun and games until you tear a calf muscle and can't walk. Worst injury of my adult life especially when I can't hike let alone walk.

[@jazeeradxb]

How long did it take to heal and do you train with cushioned or "barefoot" shoes?

[@karenhikesalot]

@@jazeeradxb 4 months to heal with red light therapy and physical therapy. im finally back out hiking and backpacking. Altras are the best! I train and hike in them. I'm all about trailrunners when hiking. Love the Timps and Lonepeaks. My feet love Altras' zero drop.

[@davidreynolds2126]

I sprint marathons. 😬

[@PerryScanlon]

The RPE's in some studies are not actually 100% even though they were told to go "all out." I bet the same was true of Hickson's studies.

[@Gnomebe]

Performance & Health are two different outcomes.

[@gohumberto]

I have a proposition ... 7 minute Abs!!! Think about it.

I sprint to train so i can outrun a danger. I dont need long distance training. I have a car.
