Battue: agree about the goodness of some liftin'. As a plain statement of fact, the best I've felt overall in middle age was the 1.5 year period building a house solo. Things got lifted. It was awesome. The human body is meant to WORK. Disuse is what takes it down...... Or too much work, haha. I'd hate to have to build ANOTHER house.
In defense of sustained highly aerobic exercise, the benefits are very tangible, are all positive physically and mentally, and are systemic.
