The health benefits of exercise come from "conditioning" sessions, not watching some ill-informed calorie meter.

The health benefits of exercise come from "conditioning" sessions, not watching some ill-informed calorie meter. Exercise makes you fitter and healthier by hitting progressive overload. Meaning it has to be difficult, nay unpleasant, and thus done rather infrequently to allow plenty of recovery time. cbass.com has this stuff dialed in. One im-gonna-puke strength session a week and one difficult endurance "cardio" session makes a ton of sense to me, when you take in the literature. Much more and exercise starts to look like a net negative in many ways. Suggesting to a fatty that they jog five times a week is at best a waste of time and at worst actively harmful.
