No thanks! I'd rather go climb a tree.
You always find a way to throw in a rude, backhanded comment don't you?
The opinion wasn't backhanded. I said exactly what I mean. And it wasn't meant to be rude, it's simply my opinion. Please don't take it as a judgement of what you do. I embrace diversity. Do what you enjoy.
Whatever, you deliberately worded it to entice a reaction. You can act like you didn't, but you know you did.

I worded it as I speak. I can't change your mind, but my intent was not rudeness. 0 -

You deliberately worded it to try to get a reaction out of lifters. It's not the first time you have done so.0 -

That's all she knows.
I walk 6 miles 7 days a week (and sometimes more) and weight lift 4 days a week.

Not a problem, just leaves more room in the weight room for those of us that enjoy it.0 -
I started dedicated cardio (as opposed to "oh, look, a pickup game!") about 2.5 years ago. Hated it - running without purpose - crimminy, at least put the scent of a bear on the trail so I can delude myself into thinking I'm out here for a reason, KWIM?
But...
It kind of grew into a habit. And as I realized the health benefits that were coming with it, I kinda begrudgingly had to admit I was starting to like it. Now it's my morning meditation zone...
ETA: I also don't see a conflict between cardio and resistance training - they serve different physiological needs, and are satisfying in different ways. Do some of each, and more of the one you like more! :drinker:

I have no clue as to others prior experiences w other posters....but to be so aggressive over someone's preference....wow. I've never seen rudeness til now. I've been on this site for years to. One person makes a comment then you all follow suit. Grow up a little.0

Only on MFP do we call out the people responding to someone's asinine comment.

OP - I love running.... BUT only from April - end of September. I hate running inside, and refuse to do outside during the extreme winters here in Edmonton.
I actually am training for my first half this fall, and FINALLY getting my cardio lazy behind outside today for my second outdoor run of the year... which will be brutal, I know.
(Will report back with post-run high later today
)

Got a response, yes?
Just like her comment did. Welcome to MFP.0 -
I have not really heard that cardio itself it bad, more that you should have a balanced routine that includes resistance training in addition to cardio.
When it comes to weight loss some people find there is a fine cardio line, one side of the line they can use it to increase their deficit, but when they cross that line they develop a hard to control hunger than makes it tough for them to stick to their deficit. It varies form person to person where that line is.0 -
Meh. I always amazed at how linear people are in their training.0

I guess you missed the sarcasm part of that..?0 -
This is pretty much my thought on the matter. I do extra cardio when I cannot get my food low enough- I don't HATE it- but lifting/dancing > cardio. So- I would rather do THOSE things than cardio- but I don't mind a nice crisp air run/sprints outside- the deadmill can suck it.Cardio (like weight lifting) is for health and fitness. CICO is for weight loss. I'm not a cardio fan, but do it because as I age, I KNOW it's better for my heart. But I'd much rather weight lift because firm muscles look and feel better and I don't get that from just doing cardio.

you're not fooling anyone and I think we can leave it pretty much at that. Say what you want- but we all know better.0 -

Shouldn't training depend on their goals? I realize that many people on this site are just trying to lose weight, but some of us are here with very specific goals and our training matches those goals (which makes our training fairly linear).0 -

That day you need one of those sweaty guys (probably not a stranger at that point) to open a jar or lift a box for you...
After age 35, people on average lose 1% of their muscle mass (and strength) per year. Lean muscle mass is one of the key indicators of longevity. Weight training also helps maintain bone density. Who wants to be frail when their old?

I'm not one of those people. I love cardio and do more than 15 hours a week. I like putting those old wive's tales to the test like "you can't out exercise a bad diet..."... "Okay, but let me try".
This was (and somewhat still is) me, for the past three years. Hell-bent to be able to NOT have to do cardio. Well, it's just nicer to be able to eat more and cardio helps when I do. Plus, it's heart-healthy. I love being outdoors and now that it's spring, cardio will suck a bit less than being stuck inside. Thirty min a few times a week, supposedly won't kill me - but if it ends up doing that - then everyone I know who hears me whine about cardio....will take heed! Woulda, shoulda, coulda! LOL!

If I had to go to a gym to exercise, I'd hate all of it. I lift at home and run outdoors. I like how running makes me feel when I'm doing it (stress relief, wind in my hair, running races, etc.). I like how lifting makes me when I'm not doing it (being strong, injury prevention, perky bottom, etc.). So I do both.0

I can't imagine anyone does. I'm not sure why you quoted me, unless you are suggesting a gym is required to maintain bone and muscle. It isn't.0 -

So, you admit to not knowing what you're talking about...then tell others to grow up?
Here's the thing: if you knew that particular poster's history, you'd understand why she got the reactions she did. And it'd probably be her that you were telling to grow up.0 -
all exercise stimulates the body's "chemical factory" the endocrine and exocrine... which processes all the nutrients your body extracts from the things you ingest... lots of cardio makes you an efficient machine.. able to go long periods of physical stress... weights.. makes you a strong machine.. capable of intense physical exertion for shorter periods of time... the ideal... is as in all things...balance.... good luck young grasshopper 0

You’re the one who said you aren’t interested in picking up heavy things. Seems to mean you don’t train for strength or muscle mass. Or maybe you were just giving the lifters a rise.
