Weight-training. The world is a lot nicer place to people who are in shape. I know from experience its worth it.

  Oh yeah, just 3 days a week for half a year of some basic barbell program will absolutely change anyone’s life for the better. Just please please please use proper technique.

  Yes. I decided I have to get in shape. Weight loss is part of it and I am slowly working on that but some basic barbell work has improved things amazingly.

  Rule 1: be attractive. Rule 2: don't be unattractive. Obviously in society there's a lot with this: you're born with a face shape, height, you can lose your hair because genetics, etc. With enough money, surgery, etc you can change some of these things but IMO that's ridiculous vs working with what you have. Weight training is great from a health and longevity standpoint but it's also the most straightforward way to be "better looking". Cliche example of the 20 year high school reunion. The beautiful people at that age were mostly coasting on what they were born with and everything that comes with youth. 20 years later the "beautiful" people who put on 50 lbs of fat vs the "ugly" people who put the work in... Needless to say most will consider the roles reversed. Resistance training goes furthest in this. It's harsh but it's true.

    > Resistance training goes furthest in this. In my experience, it was the endurance athletes and people committed to dynamic bodyweight work like pilates, dance, or gymnastics that hit that “20 year reunion” mark best, but resistance training is good for sure!

      It’s all a form of resistance training, just a matter of how much
