In your weight lifting case, the goal is to maximize effect individually in your body. Here, the work of your body is the point.
- Joker_vD 5y agoAnd one of the points of maximizing that strength-building effect in your body is to increase your body's capacity to effect change in the external world (with or without tools), is it not?
- simiones 5y agoFor most people, it is certainly not. The vast majority of people who exercise do it for health and aesthetic reasons. If we could have abs and a perfect heart while eating McDonald's and never moving more than 3 steps, the vast majority of gyms would close down.
- User23 5y agoI wonder if it would be possible to hire desk workers for 6 hours a week of manual labor that happens to also be good exercise. Surely there are people that would rather make 300 extra dollars a month for their 6 hours a week of exercise rather than pay a gym.
