FWIW, I ordered the new MAF book - should be here next week, and I'll post a review once I have a chance to read it.

Re: breathing... I’d say that you can look at it, from a cardiovascular-pulmonary perspective, as driving the same adaptations but using a different catalyst. Exercise is muscular work causing the metabolic disturbance—low ATP, increased acidity, pressure to use oxygen; while breath control does this, perhaps to a lesser degree, by manipulating the movement of O2 and CO2. The system will adapt to the challenge in each case.Thank you, Al. In my case, although I don't have much higher intensity "cardio" type exercise, I do have my strength training's intensity, and I guess I do have some higher intensity "cardio" type exercise in that I do some Q&D training. I say "I guess" because Q&D type training is so much more tolerable to me than Zone 2 aerobic work. I feel like I did a lifetime's worth of trying to find Zone 2 and failing because I overtrained in the 20-25 years I ran, cycled, and swam, so I'll have to say that I'm probably prejudiced in this regard.
I fidget at the computer while reading and writing on the StrongFirst Forum; does that count as not being idle?
That's interesting. I hadn't considered it and honestly, I don't get it, but I don't know nearly as much as you about how all this works. Care to say more on this?
Indeed, I am a legend in my own mind when it comes to my health and fitness.
Thank you, Al.

?? I like the new pic.
Thx. I'm trying to change the picture every now and then.?? I like the new pic.
My reaction on reading this book: the espoused principles sounded great at the beginning, but the implementation isn't in the same league as what we do here at StrongFirst.FWIW, I ordered the new MAF book - should be here next week, and I'll post a review once I have a chance to read it.

Steve, I read it too and came to the same conclusion.My reaction on reading this book: the espoused principles sounded great at the beginning, but the implementation isn't in the same league as what we do here at StrongFirst.
