I think that exercising for health rather than being an aesthetically questionable meathead is the best idea. That also leads to muscle imbalances causing further issues.
I agree that nnEMFs are a hidden issue affecting us all. Further to that is the lack of sunlight that is touted as healthy.(eyeroll). That also has several downstream adverse effects. There’s a few people on YT etc who go into this. My first point of call was Dr Jack Kruse, and have found others from there. It is certainly interesting and makes sense. Cheers.
i think you’re right. a healthy body and fitness to meet life’s challenges should be most peoples goal. when you make aesthetics the main target, a lot of the time you might make training decisions that are actually detrimental to your health. a poor trade off methinks. good article. looking forward to more of your insights
Thank you Moniker/My pleasure. Yeah, I saw a video once comparing some of the lifespans of the different eras of, "Bodybuilding" with the most recent being the shortest. I had some critiques but overall a very good video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eAlFTJot3gQ&t=987s
Hey Johnathan.... Interesting as always, but fact check? Punting a phrase like "health and fitness" into the system of Googlies no longer results in a few "surface level articles". I tired it. I got a local college fitness program (advertisement) first, then a list of "people also ask" - hoping to lead me to other advertisers, then an adicle for Harvard Health - tailored to my age profile, conveniently by Goolies, which as soon as I clicked asked me to subscribe to "health alerts", followed by an adicle for EverydayHealth.com, which gives me a general article that could have been written by a good high school student, with ads on the top and flashing ads on the side, for insurance, phone plans, and a food tracking app, followed by a list of articles by the same site - with ads on the side... same same.
Then three local "health and fitness" companies and a button for MORE.
Followed by propaganda from the government.
Mayo Clinic: Exercise: 7 benefits of regular physical activity offering "request an appointment"
WebMD's Jump Start program adicle. Tools, Resrouces and Support...
It goes on, and on, and on.. At the bottom of the page, another list of "potential search keywords" that lead to adverliesments for more sites.
Facts? Not present. DIY fitness and health? Not likely. Gogglies is all GooglADS selling, selling, selling" There's no Google meat in "health and fitness" it's all in the sizzle, not the steak.
Good point. Google has pretty much become an advertisement pit.
This is what many website owners complain about and reminisce about the old days when you typed in something and got a few websites from the little guy and now you get establishment entities and corporations (Mayo Clinic, Harvard Health, Men's Health, NASM, WebMB, NIH, etc). We're told that websites with the best user experience and information make it to the front when spending any amount of time on some of their recommended pages will leave one feeling dizzy.
Having my own website I've trained myself to ignore all the ads for my own mental well-being and they don't stick out to me that much anymore. I ignore the noise and seek the signal lol.
It's not just an "advertising pit" it's a snake-pit. Try to book a flight by typing in the name of an airline, or a hotel by typing the name of the hotel.... And the first THREE links will NOT be the airline and will not be the hotel. Instead, you will be directed to sucker links that want to be intermediaries, taking money from your interests. These are, frankly, LIES. That's why I call them Googlies. Even many of Google's "APP" links are prefaced by links to other sites, in some cases to sites that "pretend" to sell what you wanted and direct your payment off to some random non-location.
Twice recently I went to "buy" something based on a Google search and wound up with a message from my credit card to the effect of "have you been defrauded" - and the credit card company was right. My card was cancelled and a new one issued. I had no recourse against Google, after all, they didn't defraud me. :-(
Interesting. I saw another field called somatics that dealt with negative feelings through muscle tension/relaxation. Also, I noticed the gentleman in this doing a variation of a glute bridge. Training the muscles along the spine has a list of benefits improved mood is one of them. This reminds me I haven't done any bridging yet.

Thank you Dianne.
Same. Dr Kruse was one of the few that showed me this better path. The more of us there are the more people will catch unto this. ;)

I see. Truth.
This reminded me of a substack article I read recently, that had a section with a Trauma Release Exercise video, that involved fatiguing the muscles to start a healing process. Haven't tried it myself. But you might find it interesting. Best wishes to all! https://open.substack.com/pub/celiafarber/p/love-as-embodied-medicine-a-gold?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android&r=wvqls
