That’s fair.

The beauty of function directed exercise though is that you typically get back whatever time you invest in it (barring injury of course). It literally makes you more efficient at everything you do. I experienced this myself in medical school when I thought I was too busy to exercise. The sleep quality gains are priceless by themselves. :)

I think of vanity based approaches kinda like a shitcoin (if you’ll forgive the analogy). They don’t last because we all get old and our bodies necessarily change over time.

Function based exercise is like Bitcoin though. Seems slow and boring at first but in the end, is just far superior to everything else. :)
