In today’s AMA, we’ll be tackling four questions
I’m rucking with your recommendation for the heaviest weight I should use (50 pounds). How should I improve from here?
What’s an ideal minimum effective dose of exercise?
What do participants learn at the Don’t Die event?
I need a knee replacement. Could the knees over toes methodology help my pain?
Why each question matters/going beyond the questions
The rucking question: We all want to continue to improve. But, at a certain point, chasing improvement for the sake of it can come with downsides. The answer will help you think about progress in all forms of exercise.
The minimum effective exercise dose question: This answer will help you determine how much exercise you need to stay healthy. We’ve given answers that apply to both for the general public and to Two Percenters (people who want to go beyond).
The Don’t Die event question: We’ll explain the event’s origins, its key takeaways, and some lessons you should consider about living safer, longer, and better.
The knee injury question: Our answer will help you approach any trend in fitness smarter. The result: You’ll be able to analyze and use new ideas in health and fitness in a way that gives you benefits but helps you avoid the downsides of getting swept up.
