Now imagine you started going up and down 2 floors through stairs for 6 meters height movement every 1min for 1 h. You would spend probably double m*g*h=80kgr*9.81*6=4700 J and in 1 hour only 564000J or 6.6% of the daily food intake energy. Are you kidding me? This is why it is so difficult with exercise. It takes both food containment and exercise.
There is only one exercise that works. What happens naturally as part of your day. To be working in some construction site or in your home in projects all day or basically any demanding job that has you moving your body and weights all day. You need to be working out as part of your life all day not as a break for 30 min or 1h. So probably what works is to use some heavy routine that is not super deadly boring and at the same time find a way to watch something that takes 1-2 hours. Maybe some process that you bike and use also your hands in the process while watching a movie or a series of documentaries of a entire 12-16 episode of some series that you have to catch up or education lectures that are not hard to follow about topics of interest that broaden your knowledge without too much focus effort required. Only then you can trap the brain into the process and not feeling deadly bored. Then you probably need to go up in protein and cut comfort foods, bread etc. Start eating mostly salads and meat and fruits.
They should make a device that you charge your laptop and batteries as you are exercising and stop only when they are done lol.At the same time you watch documentaries or movies on TV or play a video game that is powered by your workout including even the action within the video game! Then one has to calculate what kind of exercise does the minimal damage to the body because i bet this bs repetitive crap is doing some damage too elsewhere.
What else is there? Sex 24/7?
Scientific society to the rescue. You create a system that charges your devices and at the same time you entertain yourself and brain. The "addictive" educational action adventure interactive video game approach with amazing multimedia probably is the solution.
No, to mostly all of this. As for building muscle, we know what over training is and why you shouldn't do it.
Take the most likely worked muscle groups a beginner would exercise: biceps, triceps, pectorals, and shoulders. Two to three sets of eight repetitions using dumbbells per group, twice a week, totals around an hour, if that, and produces results.
If you spend an hour in the gym, most of that time isn't spent exercising for the reasons outlined. And there is nothing boring about looking at women wearing yoga pants.
Aerobics or cardio is another story. You can overdo it if you want to.
Running is a mother****er, but only at first, and boring it is not. After a while, it becomes enjoyable and good for the mind. So you'll think about the documentary you watched last night, and many other things.
Speaking of which, 'Evil genius' is a must watch.
