Perhaps they are training for their sport?
In winter I watch quite a few games of rugby (or other TV programs) on a training bike or elliptical - too cold for me to train outdoors. So instead sitting on my *kitten* on the sofa watching the game I'm working my *kitten* off and still enjoying watching the game.
Is it so surprising that people have different fitness goals?
I train for my sport outdoors all winter, running in temperatures as low as -25C, so, yeah... it does surprise me when people choose to spend that amount of time on a machine.0 -

Do resistance training along with low-moderate intensity cardio on certain days....simple. It will lead to slow but steady weight loss. No need to do excessive cardio if you're trying to lose weight...it's stupid and pointless and bad for your health actually.
I enjoy running I love my long distance runs call it me time (meditation time) or what ever. Why would you bash some one who is doing what they enjoy and it is working for them. Granted I would benefit more if I incorporated some form of resistance training with my hippie runs, yes. By the way early on they said weight training was bad for you also, along with fat, along with carbs, what else have they said were bad oh yea eggs too much cholesterol. There are plenty of people who dedicate training to long distance running.
Well I'm not a marathon runner so I wouldn't know that. And I'm just saying...if you're on a MACHINE...it's a waste of time and stupid. Just wanting to let that out as to this day, people still believe that. If you're just running down a trail...that's fine but like I said...I'm not a marathon runner. My goal is to preserve muscle and lose fat while on a moderate deficit.
What do you do with the muscle you preserve?0 -

Dude, I've never run on a machine in my life, but who are you to say it's stupid?? I've had friends train for the Boston Marathon on treadmills indoors cause get what? Sometimes in winter, it's dangerous to run outside. Stop judging already.

Good for you. My guess is you don't have Raynaud's.
But carry on judging people you don't know.0 -

What do you do with the muscle you preserve?
I'm not an athlete....I just want to be the best person I can be physically and get rid of unwanted fat while preserving as much muscle as possible and that's where lifting heavy and eating as much protein as possible comes in. It makes no sense to be on a calorie deficit and also lose the muscle I've had for years. Basically I just wanna look and feel better about myself.

If you have ambitions to be a personal trainer (as per your profile) you really need to start educating yourself in nutrition and exercise physiology.
If you think cardio equals muscle loss you are badly mistaken.0 -

Sounds great. I do both. Lifting heavy, and 2+ hour cardio at least once a week. Not on machines though. H E double hockey stick. NO!

I spend 2 hours + doing cardio at least 3 times per week. Usually 1 hour to 1.5 the other days. No loss of muscle here.0

Just my 2 cents since you are pursuing a career of a personal trainer.
Remove the word "stupid" from your vocab for any activity.
Keep an open mind. You want to make money out of your clients not drive them away.
Example During winters when I don't have any races I hire a personal trainer for my HIIT training. He knows I'm a runner. If I hear him address my sport with such "grace" I'll make sure in all my power every runner and tri-athlete friend of mine knows how awesome his views about their sport.
Like I said just my 2 cents.
Carry on.0 -

I mean this to be well meaning advice as my son is a qualified personal trainer and had to make the same adjustment - you are going to have to work with all sorts of people. Some will have completely different goals to you, your job will be to help them achieve their goals and not yours.
For some it will be a choice between doing something on a cardio machine or doing nothing. Others will want to be an athlete rather than concentrate on physique. Different strokes for different folks doesn't mean an activity is a waste of time or stupid.0 -
