Ask HN: How do you exercise?

Double kettlebells. Clean/press/squat complexes. Pullup bar. Walks if you don't have much walking in your daily life. All you need.

I think people getting into fitness focus too much on endurance, neglecting strength and it's bone health and connective tissue benefits. Lifting itself + long walks will give you all the cardio you need and then some.

This lifting + "all you need is walks" meme has been making the rounds lately. Did somebody start this on a popular channel?

Walking is considered separate from anything with kettlebells mentions by Parent, right?

Not sure if they meant farmer carry type walks with the kettlebells - regardless all are good activities

Why would you consider it a meme? I thought that's the general consensus in recent literature.

Lots of of sport trainers are starting to see the light. Thai boxers traditionally ran themselves to death. Most of the top coaches and athletes are cutting back on that in favor of resistance training. Of course cardio is a pillar of fitness it's just many athletes neglect the other pillars.
