Exercise 'must be tough to work'

More bad fitness advice to fix earlier bad fitness advice.

You have to train, not exercise for your physical fitness efforts to work.

Simply exercising will fail with 100% certainty.

"American College of Sports Medicine members are concerned official advice to do 30 minutes of gentle exercise each day is being misconstrued.

Some may take this to include a mere stroll to the car, Circulation reports."

The fact that these idiots could not foresee this, is further proof of their incompetence to offer advice. BTW, what is "gentle exercise"?

"There is confusion about what is the ideal amount and intensity of exercise to improve health."

There is no "confusion about what is the ideal amount and intensity of exercise to improve health"

Simply put, any ideal is unknowable and exercise will not do it, anyway. Training will.

The distinction is critical to an understanding of how to approach the matter if you want to succeed.

Also, there is no way to know if improved physical fitness will “improve health” per se.

There is no one-to-one relationship between health and fitness.

Take Walter Payton and William “The Refrigerator” Perry, two members of the 1985 Super Bowl Champion Chicago Bears Football Club.

Walter was built like a rock, William like a mountain of Jell-o.

Walter is dead. William lives on.

Who was fitter? Who was healthier?

Bottom line: fitness will improve one’s ability to participate in life and may make one healthier.

The road to fitness is training.
