Enjoyed my lift era while it lasted but I don’t think it’s for me. Thankful for everyone that helped me out on here <3

Be sure you stay active throughout your life though. Don’t end up at 70 and not be able to get out of a chair

If you would like to reduce your all cause mortality risk then yes lifting is for you. If you would like to be able to get out of bed without assistance or get off the toilet when you’re older lifting is for you.

Funny thing is I was considering getting back to it eventually but thanks to the amount of disrespect I got on here, I don’t think I’ll ever consider it again. It doesn’t shock me anymore when people say lifting is intimidating because the behavior of the people who make it their life’s worth are appalling.

There’s so many ways to build muscle and stay active, lifting isn’t always the answer to that though.

Long walks are great for general health, but will not prevent/slow down osteoporosis. If you ever were to get any cancer treatment, having lifted weights and gained some muscle would increase your odds of survivability by a considerable amount. Walking is important, but so is lifting weights. You can’t just brush your teeth and not choose to floss.

No I think you’re trying to justify and cope with the fact that there are people out there that aren’t as into lifting as you are and you can’t deal with that because you think you’re right. Cope

And the scary part is, you may not pass away on a bed surrounded by your family members, but from a simple fall on a random day because you did not have the strength to keep yourself upright.

This is what I don’t like about fitness circles such as this, it’s always fear mongering people into being the same instead of accepting and enjoying things.

You don’t have to be obsessed with it, just like you don’t need to be obsessed with getting your oil changed or your yearly check up at the doctor’s, but you still have to do it.

How so? They tried it, and learned it wasn’t for them. They thanked the people who helped and politely said goodbye, sure it may be “odd” to announce your departure, but I’m sure those that potentially helped enjoy the appreciation

You can’t force someone to take their medicine. They have to learn at their own expense sometimes.

It’s not even “basic fitness”, OP already stated they get 10k steps on average daily, meaning they’re already living a fairly active lifestyle, which means they are clearly working their body. Weight lifting as an intentional activity (such as with gym equipment) is sometimes not as enjoyable as, say, manual labor or healthcare, or teaching, or any number of things. Who are you to judge a stranger who has the guts to say something wasn’t for them, publicly at that?

I never said they were, you’re proving your illiteracy with the fact that you struggle to comprehend that I said they are likely being active elsewhere, NOT that walking is their only form of activity. You’re being dense and this argument will not be continued, stop being a man whose only personality trait is how much he can lift 😒

It is kinda basic fitness though. And sure there are various ways to be active, its just odd to announce your departure from lifting in a forum about it and saying oh I’ll just walk instead
