Author Topic: Anyone addicted to cardio? (Read 8808 times)

I'm slowly falling into a cardio addiction. I had a taste of it years ago, when I used to do a lot of stationary bicycle. Recently though (after a long layoff), I've taken things to a whole new level. I'm doing tabata and treadmill on my weight days. Feeling REALLY high afterwards. I'm adding a little 1/3 dimethyl just to add a kick to the high. $:-\$ I don't see any serious downsides yet, but I wonder if they might be a toll to pay eventually.

Bodybuilders who gasp for air after running 40 meters are pathetic.

yes...I never thought I would but I currently have the same thing going on...Give me 1-2 cups of coffee then give me an ipod filled with great music & an hour on a elliptical and I'm good to go...feel great for hours afterward....It's been like this for 3-4 months now and I cant see me stopping...It's crazy because my entire life I dreaded & rarely did cardio now I can't stop...It's a good problem...

It's a fucking sweet high. As a former meth user I can tell you this shit is almost as good as a big rail of biker crank.

I hate doing slow steady paced cardio.

But I was just starting to sprint 2x a week and i was really enjoying it.

I was getting lean as fuck too.

Then I got in a car accident a few weeks ago and could barely move let alone sprint.

As soon as I get better im gonna pick it back up again.

Well I was just starting out.

There are some tennis courts by my house, so id do a dynamic warmup ( some lunges on the court,squats,squat jumps and some joint mobility drills ) then id start sprinting.

The court is about 30 yards, so the first week i did 3 sprints 2x a week, then every 2 weeks i bumped it up one sprint.

I was @ 5 sprints 2x a week before i got put on the disabled list......I was getting lean too

Cardio burns muscle too not just fat .. also there's a study that shows calcified plaque in heart arteries is higher in cardio freaks

Sounds cool!

I read this article lately http://www.t-nation.com/free_online_article/sports_body_training_performance/an_ez_guide_to_sprinting

and thought about starting a sprinting program as well. I have a park right over the street, so it would be a good way to do some additional cardio.

Sex is the only form of cardio I do - I’m addicted.

but it looks solid for sure.
