    Muscle soreness mostly goes away after a while when doing strength exercise. I kind of miss it, to be honest - it’s a clear signal that you’ve accomplished something.

    As for running, it is indeed quite hard on everything. I generally prefer biking, which I find a lot more fun and less straining on the body.

      Until you crash, and then it takes you forever to heal as you get older. Swimming is good, but if you’ve spent your whole life in the water like I have, you wind up with burnt out rotator cuffs, etc.

      Basically, any repetitive exercise will destroy you over time. Best to mix it up as much as possible

          These days you can make cool setups where you turn and the resistance changes based on the slopes you get on-screen. I should probably get something like this to add more cardio on my mostly-strength current routine. I have a real bike and love riding it but I’m too sensitive to the weather conditions and use it as an excuse not to go out, I’ve been successful in my home gym because it’s there whether it rains, hails or snows, don’t even need to put on my shoes lmao.
