> Another thing, 3 hours a day spent on walking alone seems like a waste of time to me. Walking is a terrible form of exercise, it's meant to save energy. I don’t doubt that there are diminishing returns, but I don’t think it’s fair

Good to hear this! I've had volume 1 sitting by my bed for a few months now but still haven't cracked it open. I'm not really sure why... length, maybe? This might be what I need to start

Have you read the book? I came across it for the first time last week, and I’m considering purchasing it. The ebook is more affordable, but I wasn’t sure if it had diagrams, etc that would make me prefer a physical copy.
