if you sit a lot w/o exercising, you slowly lose mitochondrial density, which reduces glucose/fat burn rate, which sheds insulin receptors & increases insulin resistance, to throttle glucose uptake into cells. then you have to eat sugar/fast carbs to have energy → vicious cycle.

walking specifically and exercise broadly got a lot more pleasant for me once i realized i could do it literally however i wanted - walk whenever, run whenever, stop whenever, do whatever movements i want even if they look weird. lately i've been swinging my shoulders

here is my sprinting regimen, it's the exact opposite of tabata sprints: sprint whenever you want for however long you want, then stop

you too can sprint as if you are a reinforcement learning agent and/or baby trying to figure out how sprinting works through raw trial and error. every gait is worthy of experimentation. you will find that many of them are amusing but also very tiring

also some of them are very tiring but work out specific sore / stiff / tense muscles and that's nice too
