> far too many people avoid strength training.

Yes, because it hurts.

Lifting weights is sore and exhausting. You're never going to persuade rhe plurality of people to improve their physical condition by enduring pain, it needs to be engaging and appealing.

I'll respond anyway, but please don't do this here.

Unless you have an injury or disability, there's always a weight you can lift that doesn't hurt for a decent amount of reps.

You already lift your own weight all the time. You can always add more and keep going at your own pace from there. The whole point of strength training is to be comfortable lifting increasing amounts of weight over time.

For all the reasons I already listed in other comments, it's the simplest and fastest known way to not feeling like shit all the time. This is a form of exercise that can be done effectively with minimal sweating indoors. It doesn't get any simpler than this. Consider that all forms of exercise involve weight. If even this "hurts", you might have an injury you weren't aware of.

I think the key thing is to make people aware of the consequences of their choices. If people are completely aware of how much they are fucking up their life fine, that’s on them. Many people don’t realise just how much of a big impact it has. Is not just physical health. For mental health nothing beats exercise.
