If you refuse to exercise, eat like shyt, stay up late on the weekends and get fewer than 10,000 steps...save money for your future healthcare bills.

All of that is fine and dandy. What I'm saying is that irregardless of whatever a person's schedule is in a given moment, if they have a talk with their doctor and they say: ' you need to do this this and this. Start eating more of this this and this. Not eat this this and this. Etc etc. Or you'll die'

You don't think most people tighten up?

And look bro, I'm not saying making an attempt to take care of your health guarantees anything, I'm just not willing to concede making the excuses y'all are to get off a political point. I'm just not buying all of these Americans being so overworked and wateva else y'all are saying to get in a lil daily 45 minute session and to cut out the pork. Nope

The bolded is never phrased this way but I think if people understood how close they were to an ailment developing or catastrophe occuring, they'd try. Most feel they can kick the can down the road because it's not the doctor's job to lead with the worst scenario.

That political point is a fact though. And shows when compared to other developed and sometimes even undeveloped nations. We work too much and don't have a system in place to take care of us well enough even to keep that up.

I thought like this but I've been on both sides of the work culture. I was getting 40-50K steps a day with restaurant and warehouse work, especially for the year or so I did both for a total of 40-45 hours a week, and had my 3-5 gym sessions. Fast food/snacks didn't allow me to have the definition/abs I wanted but I maintained a good weight.

Now my standard work week is literally 2x as long and all of it is sitting. Right now it's slow and I get released early so I get to do what I gotta do in the gym but those 130-140K steps a week are gone and it's made a difference. By May or even earlier I'll be back to 85 hours as a baseline.

Luckily I'm single and childless, if I had a woman and child(ren) and tried any bit to actually see them with their eyes open it would likely be a wrap for my shape and I could be a 220-pound bean bag for all I know.

But that's what I gotta do to not be in the nest forever. 45 minutes of cardio and no pork or better diet in general is a portion. Americans simply aren't given that time to maintain their health. As someone who gets up at 5 AM and returns potentially as late as 9:30 PM, I know.

thats not what this thread is about.

the vast majority of people clogging up our healthcare system do so because of their poor lifestyle choices.

Google says 1 in 5 deaths is due to Cardiovascular disease...
...that shyt is preventable.

we have a country full of food addicts and nobody wants to deal with the issue



read the comments in that video...
...people reversed their diabetes FAST just by not eating like shyt

Yep. I know people who have done this.

Give give give give lol .... It's. That. Person's. Health .
If ain't nobody else supposed to look out for you, you supposed to look out for you in every way you can. And this is one of those ways.

A lil 30-45 min daily session of circuit calisthenics would do wonders for all those people you're making excuses for

30-45 minutes a day is nothing. NOTHING

I personally think you need 1-2 hours if you lead a sedentary lifestyle. If you're only able to get 2 hour in the mix than 20-30 minutes of that should be cardio.

It's recommended that you have 150 minutes of non exercise physical activity a day to remain healthy but Americans don't really get that type of movement because we live in a car centric society.

If you count steps as an indicator of good health, you already lost. nikkas need to start counting strides. fukk a step. You got grown ass people talking about, “ I got my steps in” Man if you don’t sit the fukk down. nikkas can’t even hit a light trot. Gotta settle for walking. Ol let me check my fit bit ass nikkas. That weak ass walking shyt don’t count. I don’t honor that shyt

Are you saying there are no health benefits from walking 10,000 steps a day? Are you advising people, who don’t otherwise exercise, but start taking 10,000 steps a day, to stop doing it?

No one is arguing that 10,000 steps a day will lead to peak physical fitness, but it definitely has health benefits.

You should be squatting more than 225 dawg

im a cyclist first so I dont really lift for size/strength

 

[Kyle C. Barker]

6'1 177 lbs (as of this morning)

Even though im cutting my squat is still at 225 lbs and my deadlift is 405

Why is your squat so damn low compared to your deadlift?


It's so low I don't even believe your deadlift numbers lol

(Unless of course you out here doing sumo squats)

 

[Spiritual Stratocaster]

Japan is worse they have a crazy toxic work culture. We have more of a hustle being competitive culture

From what I observe in Japan and to lesser extent Asian societies.

If you're seen as not contributing to the society as a whole you're seen as weak and useless...shameful shyt.

I wonder if they have a social safety net welfare system in place.

1) Japan has a great public transportation system so on average they get more steps in than the typical American living in a car centric area.

2) Japan has universal healthcare

3) American zoning sucks. Residential areas tend to be separate from commercial zoning. Walking to the grocery store isn't really a thing in the states.

People just don’t care. I’ve worked 60+ hours a week for years on end and still found time to hit the gym 5 days a week.

How many people gonna adapt and figure out what their calorie needs/meal prep are in order to maintain that type of schedule

(Unless of course you out here doing sumo squats)

long arms/legs + short torso

I can squat more but dont push it because im more concerned with endurance.
my legs are disproportionally larger than the rest of my body because of cycling.

 

[Shadow King]

They don't work like we work. They be at the office more hours, but they spend more of it bullshytting. Taking naps, and going out for drinks.

The office ain't the gym/park though

walking has several benefits and the reason why 10000 steps a days is used is because you can walk anywhere

How many Americans do you think/know/feel has a schedule that dense? Cuz that appears to be the base of you and @Wild self argument. That it's just soo many Americans working these ridiculously long and rigorous shifts and that's the reason they can't tell the difference between a burger and banana. Life in America is not that hard, y'all gaslighting

Lol oh my god it so much coddling and excuse making going on in here for grown ass adults.

Most of these people are not trying man, simple as that

shyt, just pass universal healthcare and get more time off to exercise.

If there was a profit incentive, Universal Healthcare would come through in a heartbeat.

As it stands now, they want you overweight, stressed, living hand to mouth, and any free time sucked into being in the office to be productive. Universal Healthcare gives workers leverage, because they would not be beholden to employers to make sure they can get their meds.
