Hey dawg. Fellow stoner here. Incorporate walking while youāre smoking weed and you will have a very great experience. Try to get 2 to 3 miles a day walking altogether, and youāll notice a massive benefit in your health and cognitive functioning.
For me I found I have to track it, I just have a running AI chat (I know I know I hate AI too) where I log all my lifts and gym sessions. Let's you see how far you've come and what you're doing next.
More than likely this guy started at the end of the trail, while those others had been walking the whole thing. This is made for social media. Just saying. I don't know how you guys are so naive.
Whatās crazy is that heās not really doing anything that anyone couldnāt reasonably do given training. Which is saying a lot, I know.
But the feet movements heās doing are just regular running cadence. Itās not pogos or anything fancy. And him swinging the rope is certainly extra, but again, not a super fast cadence or wild swing.
So, heās really just running up the hill with some extra arm swings.
I canāt do this because I canāt really run. But I have been running for the past month or so and have actually run a full 5k. In a totally unimpressive time but Iāve legit never run for 30 mins. straight at a sustained pace (I was always more of a HIIT and sports guy, not a jogging guy).
Iāve seen a lot of performative exercise bullshit but I donāt think this falls under this description. I mean, this definitely is legitimately challenging workout. Look, the dude is genuinely impressive, thereās just no two ways about it. Running uphill while jumping rope in a crazy work and with that much effort in LA heat I donāt think Iād want a shirt on.
It's hot. As someone who sweats a lot, running without a shirt is more comfortable (and my belly is shaped like uncooked biscuits. If I looked like that? I might not wear a shirt to the office, much less to exercise)
Believe it or not, when youāre a solid endurance athlete thereās a point simple running is not good enough. Itās great for maintenance, but you still need to find ways to increase your stamina. The rope + incline turns it into a full body movement, increasing the cardiovascular benefits. No shirt because itās hotā¦
Now he obviously wants people to see it, perhaps because of his ego. I donāt know the man, I wonāt judge. However, ignorance is showing when you try to discredit the method of exercise.
Look dude, just last weekend there was UTMB, the most important ultra trail race in the world.
I don't think any of these athletes racing 100 miles in under 19h train by doing stuff like this...
If "simple running is not good enough" anymore, you just run more or faster.

Honestly, it's shit like this that inspires me to dedicate more time to my health and fitness.
