I love these kinds of posts. They are ridiculous.

First:

Second:

    > the extra energy I gained from 90-120 minutes of aerobics per day
Are you joking? You are asking average people to commit to 90-120 of c-v exercise per day? So, 7 days per week? This stuff is nonsense. Most people would quit after a week. I guess 99% of people could not sustain this for more than 3 months.



I still average more screen time on the phone..

The hard part is getting started. Once you start it's self-perpetuating.

Zone 2 endurance aerobic exercise are in some way similar to an addiction but you'll need a certain volume to trigger it.

It is a little braggy but I also consider this one of the best things I've did in my whole life - and I myself didn't remotely dreamed of this result when I started last year.


You could already be running instead of spending time in this thread.

With 30km bike commute you can scroll the web as much as before.


They did say "simple", not "easy"...


Yeah, I think the usgov-recommended guidelines of 150min/week (plus two strength training sessions) is a decent starting point thought.
