Is it too late to reverse possible damage I’ve done to my body?

Posted: 23 Dec 2020 10:06 PM PST

Hi guys. I'm a twenty year old male and for most of my life I have been sedentary. I've been sitting down in my life for a lot longer than I'd like to admit and seeing studies stating that a sedentary lifestyle is worse than smoking has motivated me to try and become more active but I am curious: is any damage I've done to my body by being sedentary reversible by becoming active? Or will being active simply prevent myself from doing any more harm to my body and help eliminate risk of unnecessary cardiovascular disease risk

When not to train to failure?

I've watched some videos about the benefits of RIR and RPE, and I think it's a great system.

A lot of people say to use those methods, so you don't always train to failure, as it doesn't promote anymore hypertrophy but just more fatigue.

So, when do I use this system?
