HOT TAKE: Lifting weights isn’t exercise.

If your heart rate doesn’t stay elevated, you’re not training your body. Its more like cosplay you need a resilient heart and lungs.

What if my heart cannot take it 🤔 🤣

it takes time to condition but eventually your body recognizes its ok (when your mitochondria learns to be more efficient) and then the games start to begin. 

I now can sit at 90% (160-165) of my HR max for over an hour without it being too stressful mentally. If you need help getting started let me know.

And I definitely need cause I want to start lifting metal, but my doctor keeps telling me my heart can't take it.

I'm talking about someone who's hypertensive 
You know he can't lift metal. He can probably just do cardio
Or do you think he can still lifting metal  gradually.
