this is really the key line
However strenuous the workout, it is often combined with other tasks.
If you can combine it with other tasks, it isn't strenuous at all. I mean really, is the person on the other end of that phone call just listening to someone breathe hard or pant? If not, he or she isn't exercising even moderately hard.
I think many of these stories are akin to Pat Robertson, televangelist, bragging that he could leg press 2000 pounds. http://hoaxes.org/weblog/comments/pat_robertson_can_leg_press_2000_pounds http://hoaxes.org/weblog/comments/pat_robertson_can_leg_pres... For those of you who don't spend much time in a gym, Ronnie Coleman brags about leg pressing 2300 lbs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9vWgSTdkc2A https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9vWgSTdkc2A One of those two men is a noted bodybuilder who got his start powerlifting, weighed probably 350 lbs in that video, and is on a teeny little bit of celltech =P.
- lagadu 11y agoIt's fairly obvious that either the person who said that or the journalist who interpreted it that way doesn't know much about correctly working out.
- Cthulhu_ 11y agoI frequently am bothered by people able to talk (a lot) during their cardio, I'm thinking they could do a lot better. It's like they're just sitting there ticking a box (I did half an hour of exercise! woo!). Still, better than nothing I guess.
