Fitness

A place to talk about fitness and health on Farcaster.

Fascinating take from Kurzgesagt (which I haven’t DYORed further).

TL;DW: your body burns roughly the same daily amount of calories whether you are active or not, based on your preset metabolism.

Working out has plenty of benefits, including cardiovascular health and lower inflammation, but losing weight by burning vastly more calories isn’t really one of them.

Dieting correctly (caloric intake) is key for that

That's why I found out making unnecessary intensity minutes is overrated. Found my zone 2 tempo I'm trying to practice outside each day around /subwork

That makes sense. I just run my mouth a lot and it suits my metabolism well

Okay problem comes if you overpower training, the rest of the day I feel exhausted. Garmin has a metric called Acute load a simple (ratio) graph of how you could compound your load day-to-day basis and it has worked for me. 
Chronic load which tells where your body stands in if you push it consistently for a longer period.

This makes a lot of sense. If you're doing more than keeping your body active and healthy, you should probably be working toward a specific goal because it's something you want... You're satisfying a desire.
