Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.
Native comments, Twitter mentions, and Reddit threads about this claim — surfaced together so the conversation isn't fragmented across platforms.
Bookmarking — the dossier-vs-overview split is the right call. Most of the time I want overview; sometimes I want receipts.
Would love a "what would change this verdict" RSS feed. Sign me up if it exists.
if you only pick one form of exercise and you want to lose fat and improve your insulin sensitivity and strengthen your bones and improve functional flexibility and cognitive performance all stuff pick resistance training make that the cornerstone and then if you want to do cardio because you like it or whatever that's fine
if you only picked one and you're only going to exercise two or three days a week resistance training by far is going to give you the most bang for your buck
the studies on insulin resistance and cognitive performance and bone density resistance training now is being shown all these studies to be superior
for those reasons and the reason why i call it the resistance training revolution is because when you look at the the issues that we're dealing with in modern societies and the context of modern living and you know no form of exercise comes close to resistance training for solving those things again i want to be clear i'm not saying other forms of exercise don't have value but if you only picked one and you're only going to exercise two or three days a week resistance training by far is going to give you the most bang for your buck
