During its just a battle with your brain. You can always do more body weight movements or more kettlebell movements if the time limit is 60 minutes. Its just conquering your brain that's nagging at you to stop and telling you that's oh thats good enough for today. But you feel decent after.

All those years of pretty unilateral movements only, squat, bench, dead, ohp has what I thought taken its toll on my body. Turns out I just needed to move a lot more in different planes of motion and get the heart and lungs racing.

I feel way better now. I always looked the part, but I never felt actually athletic just doing heavy lifting all the time.


Yeah jr just sounds terrible because I’m so unfit from not doing any cardio, just lifting. I know if I found something I enjoyed I’d be good at it.

running made a massive impact on my physique and cardio.

can't stress it enough.

if you're running properly it should be fairly low impact anyways.


I Started running when COVID hit. My knees swelled up and were painful for the first week or so. I continued for a few months and was running 10-15km non stop pretty easily. The only issue was I dropped 15kg super quick from not being able to weight train and felt scrawny as fuck. I definitely felt good when after a running session though!

Hope you’ve been well mate!

I came across Iron Wolf on Youtube and for some reason I was just able to latch onto what he does and its become enjoyable. Still hate it during, but I know there's a dopamine hit coming when I finish.

Yes.

Ankle/foot/lower legs get hit in a way that is probably near impossible to replicate with any other kind of training. The carryover the additional stability and explosiveness running brings to other aspects of fitness (not even considering cardiovascular endurance/burning of calories) seems pretty significant.

Just make sure you are equipped with the correct footwear and make sure form is on point.

Form is much more important than footwear tbh, you could run barefoot if your form is on point.

My comment regarding footwear was meant to be directed toward the OP or any other typical 30-40+ year old jsp gamer, who may not have a good way of knowing if they are even running correctly.

In that instance, the safer bet would almost certainly be more supportive shoes, although there are supposedly negative consequences associated with an extensive amount of running with "safe" footwear that may limit your dorsiflexion and other key factors that go along with good form.
