“I’m a minimalist when it comes to exercise. A really small, really intense dose is all that is needed for the vast majority of people to manifest all of the health benefits that exercise can provide. This does not mean that you can then get away with bed rest in the face of this concentrated dose of exercise, I’m not saying that at all. I’m saying that if a person is living a fairly “normal” life with a decent amount of non-exercise activity built into their day, not a lot of “exercise” is needed above that to maximize health markers.”

Yep. I’d endorse that. Slow. Intense. Injury free. HIIT.Hillfit.
That’s ‘exercise’ … but then there’s activity too and I think activity is also important. I also need to be movement aware and find ways to format sendentary imperatives so that they are broken up and contained intervals.
So we need to be careful about elevating ‘exercise’ to a fetish and presuming it does everything we project onto it.
if I walk the dogs, ride my bike, or dance … I’m not exercising as true exertion for me is intense and short and self consciously exercising. If I turned all my activities into ‘exercises’ there’d be no pleasure in them and I’d cheapen my commitment. They’d be obsessions and sooner or later I’d lose their lifestyle value.
Why corrupt them by imposing exercising on them?
Excellent points, Dave.

Agree, Dave.
Active lifestyle is already a big step towards the healthy living. From my own experience, it is also preferable to visit gym at least 1-2 times a week. In order to make my occasional trainings most intensive I am taking Navy Seal Formula, manufactured by MGNutritionals. This dietary supplement provides me noticeable energy increase, so I can take maximum from my workouts and improve my shape.
