I doubt it. It doesn’t target enough muscle groups and you ideally need some variations of push/pull/lift as muscle groups are engaged in different ways for different motions.

Probably not fantastic for cardio either, ideally you want a lot of training in zone 2 for endurance and some training at max for power.

Everyone their own. I prefer to feel fine without a training regime and without assuming that everything I do is insufficient. I feel very good with that attitude and approach. However, I am not overweight, so its easy for me to feel that way.

Smokers feel absolute fine for years. Until one day they don't.

Humans feel absolutely fine for years, until one day, they die.
