Furthermore a more proper fitness regime will fix your posture and improve your quality of life immensely. Things like a flight of stairs, getting in and out of the car, carrying a couple bags of groceries, or just getting up from the floor will become much easier. Again, not going into hours of training, but to 15-30 minutes a few times per week. Your kids can watch. :)
I don't challenge the research results. Just saying that there are more upsides than just cardiometabolic health, as someone who has seen this first-hand, going from couch potato to a little more active lifestyle.
Is it the most time efficient way to fix posture? For sue not, but it should work.
People that can't be bothered to even walk are not going to stick to intense workouts. It is completely delusional.
Not to mention, we know these do not train the same energy systems or have the same benefits too.
This whole discussion is dumb.
Assuming you're not looking to become an endurance athlete, is conditioning muscles for endurance something one should aim for? Why?
"Improved cardiometabolic health" sounds like something everyone - including us sedentary workers with families and not much free time - might benefit from. Being able to achieve health improvements in short training sessions would appear to be a really important option.
