That is why I am more focused right now on strength building exercises mixed with low impact quality movements. I feel if I stick to that kind of physical focus then I limit my chances of injury and long term pain. Hi Bret,

I agree with you 100% on our overwhelming low tolerance to with stand a hard ground impact. That is why I am more focused right now on strength building exercises mixed with low impact quality movements. I feel if I stick to that kind of physical focus then I limit my chances of injury and long term pain.

Additional small muscle group exercises in addition add some variety. These include curls, triceps extensions, dumbbell work on the shoulders. All these are while sitting on laying on back. As for running, I dont recommend anyway. As humans we have retained two legacy traits from our caveman days: One is the obvious pesky ability to retain body fat, and the other is virtually zero evolutionary enhancement to with stand hard ground impact. Our feet, knees and hip joints are basically as they were when all we ran on was soft sand and grassy prairies. Cycling, walking, and some leg gym work is good. Adjust as necessary if any knee injury exists. No it will not end workouts. the two major upper body push/pull exercises are bench press and lat pull downs.
