Fuck Cardio!

[MorganSA]

Full body HIT with small breaks (to change weights and spinlocks and shit) has my aging heart up to 160. I count that as cardio, although not an athlete. I did notice it helped in horrible paddles surfing (actually bodyboarding but that is a can of worms to explain here).rn

What is the calorie burn on intense lifts per hour?

[Grape Ape]

an hours cardio that only burns off around 400 cals???

An hours' wuss cardio, sure.

Plenty of ways to get that to 800-900

that would be HIT cardio, taking you to the point of muscular failure due to lactic acid build up.
Cardio in the true sense shouldnt do that, its meant to be aerobic as opposed to anaerobic.

Do an hour of low intensity cardio 7x a week every morning before breakfast followed by 30 minutes after training later in the day.  On the weekend which are my off training days I do an hour a night as well.  Never had any issues and keep me noticeably leaner.  However everyone responds differently. 

[Thin Lizzy]

The point is that exercise is an extremely inefficient way to reduce body fat as compared to caloric restriction.

Only miserable if you allow yourself to be.  You get over it in 10 days. My diet is enjoyable I eat a ton of sushi, good steaks, buffalo, ostrich etc..

Also I like being jacked and able to play full court basketball every week.

hahaha imagine u running and hopping on those sticks u call legs
Surprised your ankles don't snap in half at a fast rate of speed

From my experience a lot of these HIT Cardio guys donīt last long on a distance stamina run. I used to run with a Guy who was a good distance runner and weight trainer. when running we never did so called HIT cardio although we called it Fartlek training which has been around many years long before it became known by the masses. Does a Bodybuilder need to run miles? no of course not but if you want to really be in shape then i think a longer run has itīs place. the Guy i trained with went SAS and passed.. so i think it has itīs place. Running with him was a real Bastard.

would i lie to you? looking in shape on the outside is not always a sign of fitness.

I see boxers running long distances at a moderate pace for hours, yet it would make sense to do hit cardio as they use energy fast in short bursts in the ring, seems distance cardio does have its place for overall fitness, weight loss, Nah.

Not HIT, you can add a backpack with weight, do the same cardio, and increase the calories burned.

I never understood why boxers run long distance when their sparring is already a shit load of cardio.  Get in a ring and start moving around for a few rounds and you'll be gassed. Doing that daily over and over is cardio enough to last a full fight.  The extra running outside seems useless.

If your muscles give out before your lungs its not cardio.

well if you had ever boxed you would know why you do it. Short burst of power are needed sure but you need stamina and..lots off it. Also stamina in your lower body.. sparring alone wonīt do it. Tyson did Squats but also distance running.

Agree. You have to be doing some majorly "not even trying cardio" for it only burn that many calories. Which I guess is the majority of cardio you see people doing in gyms, though.

Shows your body is inefficient in transporting oxygen needed to fuel the muscles. This is common in unfit people. The legs will tire first.

People drive to the gym and then walk on a treadmill, FFS walk it to the gym.

Or you are very good at taking your muscles to failure by isolating them.
I can burn my legs out in 10 minutes on a stationary bike.

  I know your jealous of me but don't make it so obvious by stalking me non stop. You can make something of yourself one day just stay focused little guy.
