"You'd rather impress your cardiologist than gym rats"

You need to be BOTH strong AND aerobically fit -it's not not either/or.

There are no RCS for both exercises jointly [only separately] but we know that strength training stiffens LV, aerobic reserse-remodels.

2) We humans are not made to specialize without costs. Doing "too much" aerobic is worse than the optimal level ["reasonably" fit but without too much hypertrophy], but still better than sedentary.
Being strong is a necessity. But there must be a similar optimum.

3) Rigorous longitudinal RCS: as we age, we need >> than the recommended 150 min/w. Add 90% MHR 1 day plus strength training 1 day, but much less than prof athletes.

Entire bandwidth: Utraslow walks + brisk + stairs/hikes/sprints as no 1 is a substitute.

4) There is no repetitive stress injury in nature (Doing #RWRI 16 from my ancestral village in #Lebanon). Hiking beats any gym, incl. stairs, as your foot hit the ground at diff. angles. And you walk down (the excentric you never get in the gym).
The slope is up to 24% for ½ km.

5) I found the Rippetoe @SS_strength method to be the most effective way to become strong. It is particularly effective in the beginning (gains become natually concave). It is also effective to maintain strength.

6) The results of aerobic exercise on blood pressure. Most of the variance is intraday.
