This is a question False Economies

Sometimes the cheapest option isn't the right one. I fondly remember my neighbours going to a well-known catalogue-based store and buying the cheapest lawnmower they stocked. How we laughed as they realised it had non-rotating wheels and died when presented with grass. Tell us about times you or others have been let down by being a cheapskate.

I only equate going to the gym with lilfting heavy fucking weights and not going to the gym to the do
cardio because if you were going to run/jog/bike to the gym then you may as well not go. And exerting yourself before lifting heavy weights drains from the glycogen storage and ADP stores so you cannot train effectively so a good 35 minutes walk is acceptable but no more. I should have said 2 and 3/4 miles as that is about my 30/35 minute pace and everything revolves around me me me me me

twaddle and indeed piffle
Most of your glucose is stored in your liver and buttcheeks. You'd have to do much much more than a lazy jog or cycle to make a dent in that. If you're doing upper-body exercise you lower your blood sugar much quicker because there's a much smaller store in your arms and tits.

Don't learn human metabolism from somebody who wears a tracksuit and a name badge to work.

How is glucose stored in your buttcheeks (unless you mean ATP storage in muscles and the glutes being the largest etc. etc.)? I am aware that the liver is the major processor of glucose in the body and presents
itself in specific enzymes ADP/ATP working in conjunction with the adrenal glands. You seem unaware as to how quickly the body starts to process those liver glycogen stores during anaerobic exercise especially with the increase in insulin and testosterone that is produced during a typical 45 minute training session - before the catabolic cortisol shows up to stomp it's authority . Perhaps your observations are more suited to aerobic exercise especially as muscle mass for the typical endurance athlete often hinders best performance.

I don't listen to people on the internets who have such a ridiculous view of energy requirements for exercise, what with all those silly science papers that contradict you.
