Fatigue isn’t an excuse.
The way I look at it is that for most of human history a high level of physical activity was the norm.
High physicality was the expectation.
You shouldn’t just exercise, you should have high levels of easy movement in your day.
No one walks enough, and while I make fun of those on a treadmill, at least they’re locomoting.
It’s that the locomotion is better spent outdoors.
You’re not a gerbil on a wheel, nor are you meant to be caged.
This applies elsewhere :
It’s funny that all those “good” office jobs are hell on the body due to inside all day, canned air, and fluorescent lighting.
Everyone should own an empty barbell, or improvise similar weight with a length of pipe and either sandbags hanging off the ends, homemade concrete plates, improvised plates, or actual weight plates for a similar weight.
Do at least one high rep set of overhead squats daily.
It’s an amazing practice for keeping the body in “one piece”, solid, with plenty of useable strength from your legs up your entire back.
I’d like to drop a heavy rock outside for frequency use.
A heavy sandbag is similar.
Or maybe buy a second 75lb dumbbells and treat db c&p with the same outdoor frequency principle.
Weight from ground to overhead, regularly, is the simplest way to be a physical beast.
Everyone could be, and can be brutally strong, it’s a simple matter of a few simple practices done regularly.
Obesity has similar principles.
If everyone had a high energy, high activity, large dog, that they cared for properly (meaning walking with it two hours EVERY day) there would be no obesity amongst the populace.
High activity lets one get away with butchering so called diets.
Eat less? I’d rather do more physical activity.
That’s been my way since high school wrestling.
Earn your food.
Make a demand on your body that makes food a requirement.
I pause to eat dinner.
Then I go to the gym for more volume.
As dictator of earth, the entire world would have a 445 wake up time, with mandatory morning PT at 0500 FOR ALL, burpees every morning for the entire world population.
Burpees.
For.
Everyone.
