Is exercise only enough?
Exercise is a great start, but in my biased yet accurate opinion, no, it is not enough.
In the Flex Diet Cert - which opens again this June 5, 2032 - I make a distinction between exercise vs recreation and even NEAT -like walking.
Which is best for better body composition?
The short answer is - do all 3.
Yes go lift weights.
Yes, go do cardio.
Yes, go for a walk.
Yes, learn a new skill - even if you suck at it. Have something where your brain must use some of its grey matter to calculate you moving through space. Stop morphing into a sea slug.
Think of how hard it would be to teach a robot to catch a ball? Yet that is a simple task for us humans.
Use your brain in news ways via recreation.
Learn to surf, kiteboard--wahoo, play tennis, golf, and as a last resort pickle ball.
Send it!
Your anti-sea slug friend,
Dr Mike

How does one ascend to greatness? It's a ludicrously simple two-pronged strategy I've dubbed: BrainZ vs. BallZ. Greetings from the sun-drenched, wind-battered shores of South Padre Island. Your favorite intellectual daredevil has nearly concluded a month of kitesurfing and cerebral calisthenics (aka getting my glute max handed to me by the kite as the cohesion force of water face palms me). Yesterday blasted in with gale-force glory, perfect for vaulting sky-high and mastering the art of...
Are you fed up with the pseudo-scientific mud that clutters the pristine landscape of our noble fitness pursuits?

Plug into MASS (Monthly Applications in Strength Sport), the beacon of truth in a sea of...
