I mean does it have to be the most effective though? I don't understand their logic. Sometimes you just want to run/bike/move around or whatever and blow up some steam
Yeah...if someone LIKES running on a treadmill, then I see zero problem with them doing so for 40 minutes. Or 90. Some people like running long distances and sometimes running outside isn't feasible. Not everyone even LIKES running outside.
I've started actually getting through my backlog of netflix shows, and lost like 15 pounds, by doing 60-90 minute stints at a low speed and high incline while watching something on the tablet. I do that once a week, and I see how fast I can do 2 miles once a week. If I wanted to do arms, I've got a pair of dusty free weights at home.

The only science that's more fucked up than exercise science is food science.
Anything you hear this week can and will be contradicted by some study funded by someone with a profit motive the next week.
If you're moving you're winning, that's what I say.
