I think they are also realistic and know many people just won't follow hard exercise, so they aim for lower goals that also immensely help. The same case is when you set the goal for someone who weighs 120 kg to get to 110, instead of discouraging him by saying he needs to get to 80...Every doctor knows how important the amount of muscle mass is. But the reality is, patients rarely listen anyway. They don't have the inner motivation of people contributing here. They usually won't step out of their comfort zone in case of smoking, drinking, eating...why would they exercise hard?Ondrejnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2467994117916260529.post-2089424719794975572012-10-04T15:15:33.082-07:002012-10-04T15:15:33.082-07:00In the middle of all this data it's amazing th...In the middle of all this data it's amazing that there are still Big Names in the exercise science field who still think packaging your body movements with machines is the way to go.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2467994117916260529.post-16092237319142878832012-10-04T11:31:26.401-07:002012-10-04T11:31:26.401-07:00Great book.

It's too bad that the so-called health field doesn't recognize exercise as a means of helping with ADD, depression, learning disabilities, etc. before looking to drugs as a solution.Fred Fornicolahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03315395755993506692noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2467994117916260529.post-20579698631322602642012-10-03T10:05:24.150-07:002012-10-03T10:05:24.150-07:00I've been sitting around for 4 weeks now with ...I've been sitting around for 4 weeks now with my leg...<br />my brain feels like mush!<br />There's no question in my mind on the validity of this relationship.<br /><br />Todd, I echo Chris.
