Brady’s and Michael’s Substacks are my favorites — and the only ones I pay for. And now you both posted the same content at the same time 😂 Love it! Thanks for the amazing work!

Good content, still would prefer genuine audio but understand why. I’m not so sure about the conclusion that cardio has further to go re benefits than strength though. I mean diet is so important to heart health and mitochondria too, not just cardio and then grip strength and mobility which come from strength training are so important. Doing those moves you don’t get from just running. Cardio has given me nothing but injuries so far so if there was anything to focus on less it would be that. I walk my dog twice a day but it’s not even zone 2 let alone 5. I want to try build back up to something if injury recovery allows though. But I would say strength and diet trump cardio. You even get some cardio for certain strength workouts like supersets etc. just my thoughts

Fantastic convo between two of the best sources of common sense fitness knowledge out there.

Love this alternative view of exercise as an antidote to the poison of inactivity. It’s also nice to see someone that realizes the daily reality of livestock production for a way of life. Not a hobby farm. I wouldn’t want to do anything else and consider myself blessed that I get to move every day outside in nature, when it’s both bitter cold and a sauna outside, depending on the time of year. And because of my high NEAT numbers my VO2 max is in the elite category for my age, but I still also run and lift heavy weights. Again, love the insights of both of you as I also subscribe to you both.

I bet you get a ton of activity on the farm. I'm impressed by your dedication! I would imagine running and lifting add to your ability to do physical work—and vice versa. Keep it up!

Am I imagining things or is Brady's part an AI voice-over reading the words? Or was that addressed and I just missed it?

Does anyone know if there is a way to adjust audio speed in these embedded audio files on Substack? Am I the only one who’s frustrated about this?

Yep! There's a button on the left of the player bar that allows you to adjust speed.

Thanks Michael - unfortunately it's not available on the iOS app, I just see it in the browser version.
