Michael Savage on Health and Exercise

[VanessaTexasGal]

this is so true. statistically, people who weight lift live longer than marathoners. I think sprinting or running really fast temporarily isn't that bad though, because it's anaerobic and not aerobic. I think it's aerobic workouts that burns out your adrenal glands and stuff

[nadine2k101]

we could all learn from Dr. Savage, out of Michael Savage, Mark Levin, Rush Limbaugh, Savage is the healthiest radio show host over 50. Savage is the oldest of the three, and never had any health problems. Never had a heart attack like Levin.

Jesus I love running, this has me a little bit freaked.

[bombkangaroo]

I would have thought this was common knowledge by now.

I can recall watching a documentary as a kid where it was pointed out that the intense physical activity engaged in by wild cats reduced their expected lifespan. Apparently they seem slothful because they go out and wear themselves out hunting, then sleep the rest of the day. Then again there's an entire industry built around excercise, so that kind of knowledge is probably bad for business.

[LIGHTRONIX]

...is this satirical? i honestly cant tell if he's serious? That seems a bit extreme to never elevate your heart rate... I'm a swimmer and I push my self extremely hard every day in the pool, I feel great!

[mrsmichaelealy]

Funny as hell-  and right.

[FigurinItOut]

Savage makes a good point. I think we're overly obsessed with "being the best" and pushing ourselves to the limit.

I don't think cars and boats make the best comparisons to human beings. A car can sit in a garage for months looking shiny and new. Try sitting on your couch for months and see what you get. BED SORES and FLAB!

The question is, is this Savage's way of kissing Limbaugh's ass over his bonehead "don't exercise" statement? PUCKER UP, SAVAGE-BABY! LIMBAUGH'S BENDIN' OVER FOR YAH!

[bigboss686]

Dr. Savage is correct in that cardiovascular abuse like this to your body every day will take an unhealthy toll on you.

The best thing a person can do is weight train with moderate running, after all, it is much easier for the body to hold onto its strength than it is for the body to hold onto endurance

[cloudsheep777]

Yeah...I'm a very lazy excersiser...I work out whenever...just weight training...Sometimes it takes me so long to get back into weight lifting that my body gets sore as if it were my first time...But I always come back for more...I also bike ride on occastions...But I don't want to lose too much weight...And I think thats all the human body needs a balance...

[drexelur1]

I like to run. And sometimes I do push myself. But Savage has a point: More excercise makes you fit (or can kill you) but does not necessarily make you healthy. A brisk walk everyday can do as much for your health as a vigorous run.

[VitalSigns1]

Michael Savage is giving bad advice. I run and run until I feel like I'm going to die, maybe because I'm very hard working and always pushing myself to the limits. You'd have to have some real fucked up problems to die...yeah savage is an idiot

[LoneStarPatriot]

your 20 year old, Savage has a PhD, 28 books, 4 best sellers, has traveled the world, is a millionaire, and you claim Savage is an idiot, whats that make you?

[musicchica889]

wow rickyg how stereotypiccal of you. have a nice day and go fuck yourself =].

[rickyg50]

LOL and what does a conservative bible thumping gun fondling piece of shit like you know about exercise? All you Rush Blimpbaugh loving obese moron conservatives know is how to drink beer, eat, buy guns and watch race cars go around in circles and buy more guns. Get a life, you pathetic pile of garbage.

[John031989]

Hmmm... Let's see I run a mile or do sprints up a hill every other day and work out on the days I don't. And I don't own a gun or watch NASCAR although I do drink beer but not shitty macro lagers. So what do you do besides ride around on a segway with a bicycle helmet on while sipping a latte and protesting outside Marine recruitment offices?

[bigboss686]

imbecilic know nothing idiot

[snakeyes37]

He has a PHD in nutritional ethnomedicine, I think that qualifies him more then others who know nothing about health...

[Debordsbullet]

@snakeyes37 appeal to authority...of course. 

[rickyg50]

What does this pathetic fat piece of conservative trash know about health and exercise?

[John031989]

what does your smug latte lapping enlightened liberal dumbass know about it?

[slushhhpuppie]

He has a PhD.... what do you have you liberal fuck?

You, on your BEST day, couldn't hold a candle to the intellect and perspective of DR. Savage.

[babakmo]

hey slushhhpuppie ..... willing to bet you there are more liberal Ph.Ds than inbred hillbilly repukes ....

Savage is a racist. He spreads hatred, and is better of dead

[Freecell5671]

I've heard this thoery and I think there is something to be said for it. I don't think heavy exercise has that much to do with health and it could even be determental. I think being outside, walking, gardening is better. I lifted weights for three years, but I don't think I will ever do it again. Oh and by the way, Women live longer than men, and do less physical strenous things than men on average so, it is obvious that if anything, you can live very long without heavy exercise.

[lifter1204]

Finally! One thing I agree with this lunatic.

[maxwest333]

what a coward

[TheYolk]

Umm, maybe this is why americans are effin OBESE!

way to go...NOT!
