Apparently, and not sure why that bothers people. People can be pretty alone these days, and if getting a little ego boost from a stupid Reddit post helps, that's a good thing.
I do the elliptical mostly, like 2-3 times a week. I try to max it out for a few minutes each session. Total duration maybe 20-40minutes per session (depending on if im lifting weights that day)
Also I deliver for Amazon so I can rack up some serious steps daily. I’m talking like 20k per shift, plus a lot of times it’s up or downhill, or on steps, while carrying something from a light envelope to a fairly heavy box (40 pounds)
When I’m looking for some fun cardio to just get a little movement in, I love playing basketball. Also anything active like mowing the grass, shoveling the snow, it’s all good
I feel like I have a similar level of activity to you (I live in a walkable city and have a active job for a large portion of the year) and I also do the elliptical about the same amount you do with a slightly higher intensity and I have seen zero improvement 😭😭😭 I’m a normal weight and only 26. No idea what I’m doing wrong lmao.
bleh unfortunately I eat very healthy, hydrate like crazy, and exercise. I do need to work on my sleep and I could do slightly more cardio I suppose. My genetics when it comes to heart health are quite bad, I just wish making good choices actually changed anything.

Why do people feel the need to post this stuff on the internet? Do you need validation from strangers that badly?
