For my women who don't do any type of resistance exercise, read this.

Pay close attention to this section below, so many people are guilty of this.
4. Cardio as compensatory behavior.

You know, plenty of men only engage in cardio-only exercise, too. I know guys who only exercise is running or racquetball or cycling.

You are correct!0 -
i never do cardio unless its incorporated in my WOD (i do crossfit)... when i did both cardio and weights i found it counter productive..no body comp changes.... if you do cardio, limit it to 2-3 days a week, preferably HIIT0

Well...I love my zumba and hiphop classes and I go to have fun...I like the feeling it gives me and I love dancing...I'm not going to stop because people say it's not the best way to burn fat. But I guess I'm not really expecting it to do much for me other than burn some calories.0

Huh, interesting! I like my cardio, but maybe it's time to invest in some weights, along with my treadmill now. Thanks!0

The only part of this that is really relevant is this sentence "I am referring only to aesthetic-oriented, steady-state cardio." In other words, none of this applies to people who are trying to gain all the other benefits of cardio like heart health, weight loss, lower cholesterol, increased lung capacity, calorie burning, stamina, increased energy, etc. I'm not bashing strength training, but this article seriously exaggerates its point.0

I didn't get that far. I read "I am referring only to aesthetic-oriented, steady-state cardio.
For all you performance goal folks and those interested in cardio for general health, shoo. This article isn’t for you " And stopped reading...0 -

Resistance training has plenty of cardio-respiratory & cardiovascular effects on its own, as long as you’re not training like a pure powerlifter with long rest periods between all sets.0 -
I run lots so I can run lots more. I'm an addict alright... endorphins make me feel like wonder woman.
I also like Insanity, boot camp classes, mixed martial arts, cycling, paddle boarding, and whatever else makes me a better athlete.0 -
Well, I guess I'm from another planet because I absolutely love to ride my bike (road not stationary). And riding uphill against the wind does work the legs or else they wouldn't feel like jelly. I have a goal to eventually ride in a century bike race soon. Call me silly.0

But I love cardio... but I end up usually doing HIIT... so I guess this didn't apply to me.0

I'm sure 95% of the men out there would want to be ripped than run a mile. Running a mile is cool, but offers little real world benefits. Being ripped with muscles offers a TON of real world benefit as well as at least SOME of the cardiovascular and most if not all of the health effects.0 -
No. Let them (men and women) continue cardio, the weights section is busy enough already. I am selfish. >:(0

Hate cardio, love resistance. For some reason, I get super bored doing cardio. The exception would be swimming, I love that. Posts like this help me justify my slacking on cardio.0

I only do cardio to eat more.0
