@stevemagness You’re doing great work, @stevemagness . Thanks for your diligent review and application of science!

This was wild. And surreal. And sad. Since it blew up, I want to offer clarification for the argument I’m making: The study is literally comparing chores (making your bed, vacuuming, cooking) versus exercise (a brisk walk or anything more). That’s how it defines moderate versus vigorous. The entire point was: you can’t map that on to an exercise zone training paradigm. It’s two different categorization systems. One absolute, the other relative. One that calls cleaning the dishes moderate and includes anything from a walk to all out intervals as vigorous. The other doesn’t even start until you start exercising. It doesn’t include making the bed. That’s zone 0 for most… They are two different things. One based on relative physiology. The other extrapolated based on accelerometer data to map onto MET. The study is fine. It tells us that doing any sort of exercise, even a brisk walk is more efficient at helping health than making your bed or vacuuming or a slow walking of the dog. That’s important because it tells us we need to get people exercising not just active moving. But to extrapolate that to training zones is nonsense. So the real conclusion that he should be screaming is: going for a brisk walk or a slow jog is more impactful than making your bed. We can all agree on that… And to be clear: of course 1 minute at 3k pace is different from 1min at your recovery jog pace. But there are so many studies that actually tackle the impact of various exercise intensities on health. And we can learn even more from understanding training history to shift the underlying physiology. Use those to make your arguments on what’s best training for longevity. Not a study that doesn’t delineate exercise intensities in any meaningful way. By the way, we overcomplicate the crap out of this. The truth is for the average person: they just need to exercise consistently in whatever they enjoy. That’s the starting point for most folks. A novice shouldn’t obsess over zone 1,2, or 3 or whatever. For the complete novice, their “zones” blend together because they are out of shape. They just need to get going. Which is exactly what this study found.

@stevemagness Great advice! I think this applies higher up the experience scale than we often think.

An all out fitness test on a novice is a bad idea: 1. They won’t get anywhere near actual max because fatigue is a foreign 2. It will scare them away, making them think exercise sucks! Start where people are at. Which is often a walk around the neighborhood. Progress gradually

@Austen To “fix” this I created a home account for Sonos system & main Apple TV, a separate one for kids & logged into that on the Apple TV they use, a separate one for my wife that her phone & model y are logged into, then a separate one for my phone & car. Such a hassle, @SpotifyUSA

Spotify: if you’re going to make it impossible for multiple devices to listen at the same time, can you at least make it easy to switch accounts? We have a family plan, but between cars and speakers and devices we’re always cutting each others’ music off

@AdamCianciarulo 1. Life gets better when I focus less on myself 2. Invest time in challenging your own ideas 3. Don’t be afraid of commitment 4. Try it. Whatever it is, just try it.

What’s something you learned in your 20s that’s had a positive effect on your life today?

My parents used to tell me “You think you’ve got it all figured out now, just wait!” I was determined to not think that. I was going to be different. I’m 26 now and I will come clean. I did, indeed, think I had it all figured out. When I told myself I didn’t, I was lying.

@KevinKethcart @TrainerRoad @TrainerRoadHelp Top shelf theater right there 👏

Hey @TrainerRoad, #ChatGPT knows what it up.

@stevemz Dude!!! Yes!!!!!

Adaptive Training's new Progression Levels are a real-time measurement of your power-based abilities in each power zone. You can use them to train your strengths, target limiters, and better understand how your training is impacting your fitness. trainerroad.cc/3GEufGn

@angryasian A great opportunity for me to learn patience, get more quality time with my son, learn even more respect for teachers, and an opportunity to look on the bright side even though it is incredibly tempting to just focus on how insanely hard it is 😂

Calling fellow parents of younger kids out there: Online learning is ______________.

@stevemz I so hope you got to ride today

@stevemz This happens weekly for me

@jackhaig93 @Keegels99 @GoZwift @TrainerRoad @tacx Yeah man! My pleasure. Big fan, btw. Cheers to the next race, whenever it arrives 👍👍

@leejonathan_ @Keegels99 @GoZwift @TrainerRoad @tacx Cheers thanks mate appreciate it 👌

For everyone that uses @GoZwift @TrainerRoad @tacx training a lot, what are some tips, training ideas? I'm quite use to 20hrs+ outside per week. I actually have quite sore (doms) in my legs from riding the trainer, is that normal? #Covid_19 #cycling #indoor #training #bike

@jackhaig93 @Keegels99 @GoZwift @TrainerRoad @tacx (4/4) Motivation: We often assimilate indoor training with being boring, but it’s arguably the best way to make specific progress toward your goals because it’s pure quality. Let your goals be motivation, and being music, movies, racing, etc. 🙌

@leejonathan_ @Keegels99 @GoZwift @TrainerRoad @tacx Also to be honest I really struggle to hold anything over zone 3 for any period of time. Muscular fatigue in the new position??? 🤔

@jackhaig93 @Keegels99 @GoZwift @TrainerRoad @tacx (3/4) Nutrition: Often times we think “it’s just an indoor workout” and don’t fuel the work sufficiently, but in terms of structured work, you’re likely doing more and taking zero rest, unlike outdoors.

@jackhaig93 @Keegels99 @GoZwift @TrainerRoad @tacx (2/4) Cooling: Roughly 75% of your energy consumption goes to thermoregulatiom, and a small shift in efficiency has huge effects. Get a Lasko Performance Series fan (or 2) and do everything you can to cool off. No movement through air = 🥵

@jackhaig93 @Keegels99 @GoZwift @TrainerRoad @tacx (1/4) In terms of structure, whatever is prescribed by your coach/plan. Initial indoor struggle is real. Three main factors affect it: 1. Cooling 2. Nutrition 3. Motivation

@Keegels99 @jackhaig93 @GoZwift @TrainerRoad @tacx Also, what sort of structure/intensity did you follow on the indoor ride vs. what you normally would do outside?

@jackhaig93 @GoZwift @TrainerRoad @tacx @leejonathan_ can help ya out I’m sure!

@Keegels99 @jackhaig93 @GoZwift @TrainerRoad @tacx Totally normal, even for an incredible athlete such as yourself. The difference in inertia and positioning have a profound effect when you are so purpose-built for how you’ve trained. Good news is it goes away quickly 🙌
