Cardio Sucks! Who Hates Cardio?

[Bulldog_10]

What use is it to have a strong body, and a weak pump? I constantly hear guys talking about how they get out of breath walking to their cars, or up stairs, hmmmmm..........I wonder why.
If your going to take care of your body, take care of the whole package, not just the exterior. What good is a car with a great body, but the engine is shot? Find something that you enjoy, and do that, it dosnt have to be a treadmill, go out and take a walk in the woods, go hiking, play basketball..............just do it.

Yup...I hate when people say they don't want to do cardio because it might be catabolic...why not do it because it's healthy? Too many people worried about how they look, and not worried about their health. This is evident when people get fucked on their cycles, but "don't want to stop because it would be a waste of a cycle."

i like reading books. for my cardio, i read while just speed walking. reading breaks the boredom and speedwalking shouldnt be (that?) catabolic.

But doing cardio is not healthy. That's the misunderstanding.

The reason so many bodybuilders appear out of shape or get winded easily isn't because they don't do enough cardio. It's because thay weigh 50 pounds more than they ought to.

So, do you also think cardio is not healthy? Someone please explain your reasoning behind this.

Cardio (im talking about running here) is HELL on your joints (knees, ankles), especially when you are a heavy mofo. But ... it is HEAVEN on your heart. It is important to have a strong heart.

I try to do something that is not that mind numbing for cardio. Yesterday I went and played soccer with some of the younger kids in my neighborhood for almost 2 hours. Great fun, and great cardio. I was actually pretty wiped near the end. Those little bastards are good! hhahaha

I'm tellin ya, I have been having the most difficult time with Cardio while on my cycle now. I thought that it was primarily from the dbol, but I just finished up with the dbol, and still .... aching pumps in my legs, sore joints, and lowerback pain, and a little shortness of breath too. I notice this more so on a treadmill than say being out playing soccer. I think that it will get better here in a bit. I am working at it. I usually do cardio twice/week.

no.
i think cardio is o.k on occasion, but its definitely not the best way to lose fat.

in other words.. if your goal is to burn fat and spare muscle and you plan on doing cardio to acheive that goal you're a moron.

but 1-2 sessions of very light cardio per week are good for the heart, lungs, and other organs. just not my style thats all.

There is absolutely no evidence that cardio is any better for the heart than any other exercise, be it walking, weight training, or playing sports. It does increase free radical damage, however.

The benifits of aerobics are a myth perpetuated by the fitness industry in the 80's when aerobics became popular, and hence, a way of making money for the mags and supp companies.

People who run do not live longer. But they do have more joint problems, shin splints, misaligned spines, and bone spurs in their knees. Even Kennith Cooper, the guy who invented the word "aerobics" admits this.

(Yes, aerobics is a "made up" word. There's no such scientific or medical term to differentiate between types of exercise.)

There's plenty more, but I'm not going to get into it. This will have to hold you.

jogging is going to raise your heart rate higher and for a longer period of time then a walk... and in the long run condition your heart to working more efficiently... since I started doing jogging appose to walking like usual my resting heart rate is way down... easier on the heart at rest and I can now endure longer.. so it has benefits...

perhaps the reason for all your sore joints is your levels of uric acid.. stop eating red meat.,
