you know, you shouldn't do... Women need to train like this a different way.

And a lot of evidence out there for strength training and endurance training doesn't just really support that idea, I think.

No, most people aren't.

I think one thing to consider too is like, yes, if you're also a working professional and doing also training on top of that, if you're not a professional athlete whose only job is to train, then you also have to consider life stress.

You have a family, you have kids, you have a full-time job.

But again, I think that applies to everyone, not just males, females.

So-

Yeah, and obviously when it comes to athletes, this discussion that we're having I think is totally separate from athletes are training.

They are training towards a goal.

They're training for a marathon or a CrossFit competition or something like that.

So I think some of these maybe guidelines on physical activity, you want to integrate movement throughout your day, they still apply but maybe a little bit less because if you're doing dedicated activity, I think most athletes aren't concerned about –

getting the recommended physical activity.

Most are getting just, you know, fine physical activity.

Regarding HIIT and vigorous exercise, you know, obviously athletes are going to need to engage in that.

So the conversation is a little bit different and you do, when you are training, you need to be a little bit more deliberate about maybe only do one or two higher intensity exercise sessions per day because you are training every single day or maybe six or seven, you know, six days per week.

So it's a little bit different.

And I think,

There are some studies you can certainly overdo it.

You can certainly overdo high-intensity interval training.

There's an interesting study that I read recently.
