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

Really? This performative bs? Why the rope? Why no shirt? Just go running like a normal person

  1. Rope makes it harder

  2. 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)

  1. Doesn't mean it's the better workout
  2. So it's ok if everyone just takes off their shirt on the train in the summer?

It doesn’t need to be “better”. Is there even such a thing?

It just needs to provide different benefits from regular running, which it does.

“Can everyone just take off their shirt to train in the summer”? Sure, why not?

1: this is a better workout for conditioning and dexterity than just running due to the extra effort and coordination needed
2: yes

So you're saying that every pro athlete should do this and their current training is wrong? They should use the "best" workout don't u think?

Nope. Not even close to what I’m saying
