That was not my son, rather daughter. One of the best female goal keepers in the USA at the time.
And that would not work for my son, or me. Exercises are different depending on what you are trying to do and the body's ability to adapt - which is training, age, gender and gene based.
I don't do weights much at all, but I get it. Cycling fast personally is not something I care about, although I am not slow.

Well, ya, you do. You get to a point enough is enough and more is worse. Risk of injury can outweigh the value of the activity.
I do about 5 hours/week at may age and I think that is a good balance. Eating and drinking less is something that would make me healthier, more exercise would not.
I've flown more than a couple flights with some big time NBA/NFL hall of famer guys that can barely walk. Not saying that is weights, but the toll on the body is clear.
Rest is the most underrated activity out there.
