>Hth! ^_^ gl with your reading comprehension goals in 2013

It isn't constructive to add this kind of barb to the end of your comment. From the top of the HN commenting guidlines:

Be civil. Don't say things you wouldn't say in a face to face conversation.

When disagreeing, please reply to the argument instead of calling names. E.g. "That is an idiotic thing to say; 1 + 1 is 2, not 3" can be shortened to "1 + 1 is 2, not 3."

Let's be honest. HN comments are the cesspool of the Internet, and really, if someone isn't going to read the article IDGAF. :v

HTH! ^_^

p.s. I suspect you're mad about the cardio comment. Let's not try to sugar coat the fact that science suggests your "feelings" are wrong, ty.

p.p.s – would say this all to anyone's face. good luck with your suggestion of 1 hr of cardio/day to people new to fitness... lmk how that pans out!

I'm not angry, but I have noticed you have a certain axe to grind and that you have a tendency to cherry-pick citations to support it, make sweeping comments that go against the bulk of current research and that you're extremely hostile to those who disagree with you. I was only reminding you of the guidelines since belligerence wins over nobody and makes HN a less pleasant place to be.

Giving you the benefit of the doubt that you were asking in earnest... can only assume you're referring to what I shared earlier on HN—pretty much everyone who joined my high school swim team team made tremendous improvements in their fitness levels. Ditto for sedentary students joining cross-country. It already "panned out" years ago and it was a huge success!
