i thought that was frieza :sob:
Unga bunga, lifting heavy rock make sad voices in head go away!
I already do this but without the circles.
What do you move?
Heavy
bowels.
Heavy circles proven to reduce osteoporosis, sarcopenia, likelihood of falling in old age, likelihood of getting injured if you fall, metabolic syndrome, heart disease, and even depression. You can pretty much cash in all of these benefits in 2 hours per week flat
Also make brain go quiet after a day of thinking for a living, make back not hurt, make sports more fun and make moving around easier. Also makes partners very happy, though ymmv on that last one.
And if none of those, burn more calories, so you can eat more tasty things.
Doesn’t biking to work/school accomplish this as well? It’s free and you don’t need to reserve extra time. Depends on the area but if it’s possible it seems good
Strength training and cardio have different benefits, it’s best to do both. You won’t get all the benefits of strength training by just biking.
You’re going to have to reserve extra time to bike to work, because unless you live super close, you’re adding commute time due to using a slower vehicle.
That’s not a point against biking to work, but please don’t pretend like you can swap commute methods and not have to reserve extra time to accommodate it.
Depends on the circumstances. I was always faster on my bike than my colleagues but that was in a city coming out of the industrial area during your usual rush hour. Zooming past them on the bike lane always felt nice.
Anyway it’s always good to remember that there are vastly different circumstances out there for maybe people. This is directed more towards the guy you were replying to than to you.
You’d have to reserve extra time to exercise anyways.
Right, but the person above specifically said you wouldn’t need to reserve extra time to bike to work, which is wrong.

You’re right, my mistake. What they should have said is you don’t have to reserve as much time as you would if you were working out separately.
Although depending on your climate you might have to reserve even more time to clean off after getting to work.
As the other commenter said, biking is cardio. It has many overlapping benefits with heavy circles (resistance training), but they each have some unique benefits and they grant you those benefits through different biological mechanisms. So doing one or the other is very good, and doing both is extremely good.
American heart association has a very good breakdown of the benefits of cardio. They recommend 150 minutes per week of moderate intensity cardio (biking slower than 10mph/16kph) or 75min per week of intense cardio (faster than 10mph) to fully cash in on those benefits.
On a personal note: before “taking the plunge” with any form of exercise, most people experience the same form of “temporal sticker shock” that you’ve expressed concern with. The “need to reserve time” for it.
It’s very deceptive though, because the short time you invest into it actually gives back so much more time to your life. Like multiple extra hours per day, every day, where you feel refreshed, energetic, and capable of pursuing your passions fully. It’s extremely worth the time you spend upfront
if I don’t move heavy circles then my body will fail me when it’s time to move heavy circles
Just move heavy circle outside of dark room
Or turn the lights on.
But lift heavy circle make brain go quiet.
exactly this.
