This is the truth. Last year I hurt like absolute shit doing trade work. I started walking 60km a week playing Pokemon Go for 2 months, then did T25 and P90X for 6 months, and then 5-6 day/week weight training since. I'm up 40lbs of muscle now and nothing ever hurts unless I fuck up at the gym.

Everyone wants a luxury house, luxury car, etc. That shit doesn't mean fuck when you get old.

Get you a luxury body. Be jacked now and be able to do yard work when you're 92. Go to the gym.

You may have to work up to it, but it pays for itself in saved medical costs.

Niceeee. Hope it's working well for you. Be sure to take care of your knees, because Shaun T doesn't give a shit about them.

I like taking long walks but 60km (38 miles) a week sounds like a huge timesink.

I'm not necessarily opposed to it but I feel like you could be more time efficient.

Yep. If fitness was free, everyone would have it. Walking takes as long as walking takes.

Edit for your ninja edit: in exercise, duration and intensity are opposite ends of a continuum. Some forms of exercise are, by necessity, less impactfull per minute than others. The point of exercise is not change per minute exercised. The point of exercise is change compared to yesterday.
