I remember Dr. Peat saying Olypic lifters (performing clean and jerk and snatch) had stronger hearts and were generally healthier than most other athletes. Very concentric based.In cases of severe metabolic/mito damage, exercise is IMO a must for recovery. If the zombie apocalypse ever really comes, I want to be able to scale that chain link and run away. No way I could do anything like that before incorporating weights and Pilates and HIIT into my lifestyle. But now I can, and at my age, too. And a woman to boot. Whodathunkit?
IMO the stress response brought about by brief bouts of fairly intense exercise is a reasonable trade-off for increased functionality. Hormesis! The key seems to be not to overdo it. Long-distance running and competition weight training being a couple of handy examples of overdoing.
The whole problem is seeing a dichotomy lazy-working. Thinking along this axis will not take you anywhere at least in terms of understanding.

This is a question I've been trying to answer for months, as I have a very low RHR.
Got a lovely pair of Brooks size 10 trainers barely used, anyone??

More important is what is happening in the other 23 hours and 20 minutes. Just because there are hormonal changes while an activity doesnt mean that activity is inherent bad.Even after 40 mins walking, the bodys T3 level shrinks to zero
absolutely brilliant maybe the best thing i ever read on this forum regarding exercise and true health!I think this will be one of Rays (and others no doubt) great legacies. The aerobic exercise health myth exploded. But the belief is so ingrained in modern western society, it will be difficult to shift (even those young fit triathletes who keep dying, explained by undiagnosed heart conditions).
I am a member of another thyroid forum/site and have tried to persuade a guy struggling terribly with hypo at 55, that maybe his desire to run up and down hills might have something to do with it , to no avail. Soon as he feels better hes off!! Hes a member of a hill running club and asked how many were being treated for hypothyroidism and he was surprised at the numbers.
I remember the comic genius and alcoholic/heavy smoker Peter Cook saying he had followed more hearses of " exercisers" than any other.
Anecdotally, my brother in law was the " healthiest?? " person i knew , before he died of heart failure at 55 (just finished 20 mins on ergo machine) Both parents now in their 80s. Low blood pressure, low cholesterol, low pulse, never smoked, slim,blah blah. Serious rower since 17, trained (aerobic) nearly every day. I just couldnt get my head round it, until i started reading Rays articles about the perils of aerobic exercise. I was even told if he hadnt have exercised he would have died earlier???

Interestingly there was an article in yesterdays sunday magazine, about a woman who became a personal trainer so as she could exercise all the time. She realised as she was getting sicker and sicker she still continued to train, that she had an addiction. As previously said addictive exercisers do so for the "high" which masks more deep seated emotional issues. The old adage, "the gym is full of junkies" rings true. It is said that 3% of UK population is addicted to exercise.
My sister once said about her husband, if he doesnt train he gets depressed.
At least i no longer feel so guilty about slobbing about, my jogging days are over. (Lost more weight by eating more in last six months and no heavy exercise, some weights in bedroom) Thanks Ray.
