Cardio. Who does it and who doesn't??

[ROLGOR]

I hate cardio.... But I do it 2-3 times a week and am trying to increase. I stopped for awhile but being big doesn't mean shit if you have no endurance or run out of breath climbing some steps. Cardio is part of the package. You are not fit if your not doing it. Like a friend of mine used to say. "All show, no go"

Despise it, but I do it. I try to do cardio 5 times a week for 40-45 mins.

Re: Gotta have some....

Even if that is so. The real reason is to make sure your heart and lungs get proper exercise.

Yeah, I know if weights are done right, you get the same benefit, but that's leaving too much to chance.

A good cardio routine for at least 20-30 minutes 3 times a week (overall as an average) will do wonders for the old blood pump.

Would you have a routine where you neglected your biceps totally? I don't think so. So why not do something for the ticker?

Exactly. Finally realizing this now. I know what you're saying Zerxes. I don't need cardio either to get lean but for health purposes, I gotta get into the habit of doing it.

Monday-friday 1hour on empty stomach in the morning. 300mg caffeine before. this is a great way for me to keep very lean even when I am not dieting. The key is to go easy on the carbs in the evenings!

I like to use the Precor. Next year I may do interval training involving sprints with jogging again every now and then once I get my cardiovascular level back up and when I'm in cutting phase.

Damn! All you guys do cardio, I don't do any, ever....but then again my maintenance calorie intake is ~4500 a day. So I don't want to have to eat even MORE than that. All this food makes me want to

If I don't do cardio i will not loose weight. No matter how much Im train and pump the iron.
