"It's all about diet, I don't even do cardio."

Cardio is unparalleled in it's significance for maintaining a healthy heart (not for fat loss) -- always!

Weight training cannot replace cardio for heart conditioning. Can't wait to hear some of the retarded responses :rolleyes:
 
Cardio is not only to lose weight, its for you heart too, it's good to do cardio at least twice a week
 
I don't usually do specific cardio either. I do however play baseball in the summer and handball every week in the winter, so I am getting the blood pumping. If the waist starts getting too big, I can generally alter my diet enough to straighten things out.

I would guess I am generally around 11-13% - good abs but not a chiseled 6 pack. However there is one guy here that does not do any cardio and had great abs. Slat.

How many that responded are and have always been genetically lean though? From childhood till now?? So its easy for someone to say they can eat just about anything and not gain weight then follow up with "i dont do cardio i just eat well" .... for the rest of the population that have a weight "control" problem and are genetically dispositioned to easily gain weight...merely eating right wont cut it, you have to have that cardio component in order to get where you want to be...it all depends on your genetics..

how's this for retarder...........I don't care what my heart looks like....the only person thats ever gonna see it is the coriner. :) OK wheres my prize????
 
Cardio, by it's very nature is associated with positive heart and lung function. Without proper heart and lung function, your body does not use oxygen efficiently. Growth is much more difficult if your muscles aren't getting enough oxygen when you place them under a load.

Oh, and of course there is the fat burning aspect too. But, in my mind the other effects are much more important. Plus, if you're getting your fat burning from a bottle, you may actually be doing damage to your heart and lungs. No one gives a shit about this stuff when they're 20. But, trust me, when you're 41 like me YOU'LL CARE.
 
With high intesity weight training your heart rate is high enough during your work out.
In other words, I dont stand around looking at bitches or talking about the ball game between sets. I'm in and out of the gym in less than 45 mins and my workout is tight and intense. yes some times i feel nausea and quite shaky...heart and muscles get worked at the same time.

i dont do cardio machines and i'm not out of breathe if I play sports with people who do cardio 5x week...i can keep up with or surpass them no problem.

So my statement is I dont do cardio machines but I do do cardiovascular exercise
 
I never had to do cardio until I took 5 years off of weight training and got married had kids and my job had me on the road 4 days a week eating fast food. I could have ate better but it was a slow decrease in my fitness to where I just quit caring for once in my life! Now I do cardio at least 5 days a week for my heart, lungs, and because I am trying to get my body fat back into single digits!! My metabolism use to be really fast but it slowed down to a crawl so I have to do cardio.
