I Hate Cardio

But I did it anyway, gosh darn it!

Started with 30 minutes on the treadmill, alternating between a fast walk on a moderate incline, slow walk on high incline and jogging on a low incline. Followed by 20 minutes of Shoulders/Arms & Core and finished on the stationary bike for 30 minutes.

My legs feel like jelly.

Cardio and lifting weights is for fitness and health. They are NOT necessary for weight loss if that is your goal. There are so many examples of lifters don't do cardio and are fit and lean.

I know, but its a plus if I ever need to outrun zombies so I'll power through lol

Yeah, I pretty much despise cardio to, but I do it for fitness (so I don't gas out kickboxing) and for good heart health.
I won't try to out run a zombie. I'll just grab a person next to me (who's not a family member) and toss them at them.

As the saying goes: When you're being chased by a bear, you don't need to be faster than the bear - you just need to be faster than one other person being chased.

I hate cardio if it's on a stationary machine. Hate is an understatement. Cardio outdoors is more my style and way less of a chore.

I use a Nordic track ski machine. It's finally at the point where I feel like something is missing if I don't do it. (Apart from those days where I get at least an hour's walk in, but I live in Canada, we are in a cold snap right now, and if I don't have an errand to run, I'm staying indoors.)
