7.5 hours or more per week of gym is an extreme amount that elite athletes might think twice about, not to mention that it's not recommended by anyone. Where is the conflict?
That article itself says: “This [study] doesn’t apply to 99% of people”
- downandout 8y agoI'm trying to lose weight. I am doing approximately 7 hours per week...an hour per day of exercise isn't particularly hard to reach. I apparently fall in the 1%, and I'm not remotely close to being an "elite athlete," nor do I feel like I'm do anything extreme.
- grecy 8y ago> 7.5 hours or more per week of gym is an extreme amount that elite athletes might think twice about I personally have plenty of friends that run, swim or gym session for an hour 7 days a week. Elite athletes are doing more like 2-5 hours per day. My brother in law runs ultra marathons (just for fun), and runs somewhere between 1-3 hours every single day of his life. For fun.
- learnstats2 8y agoI personally do more than 7.5 hours of "exercise" but all the people I know doing 7.5 hours of "gym" are highly injury-prone. I guess the article doesn't make it clear what counts.
