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

    beat me to it, but my thoughts as well.

    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.

    Meh. I always amazed at how linear people are in their training.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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).

    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.

    some people prefer not to be a jack of all trades- master of none.

    some people actually prefer being the master of one.

    it's not "linear" its specificity.

    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.

    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.

    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 :)

    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.
