Is there too much cardio in this program?

Because I like it and I dont have the time to do weight lifting now.
lifting- you're doing it wrong.
also- you have the same time as everyone else- it's just not a priority to you.
Instead of asking a question you already think you know the answer to- why did you ask?
What difference if it's too much-you seem convinced it's the only think you have time for anyway- but it's already to much unless you're a competitive athlete training for long events- actual events.
I actually have a muddy trail 10k in 10 days and another 10k in May. So I may need some preparation.0 -

you could run 2 times a week and be fine to do a 10k.0 -
I don't like doing 15 rep sets. Which is more endurance than strength by the way.I am used to do 60 sets. Each set has 15 reps. I am trying to dispatch that through all my muscle: biceps, triceps, back, forehand and shoulder. should i consider this as vigorous or general weight lifting?
I don't mind doign 5 rep sets. As mentioned, I'd a total of 45 (full weight) reps for the WHOLE SESSION, that's it.
I don't particularly 'like' it, but nor do I dislike it and I do really like the results.0 -

it's not a mud running 10k. it's a mud rowing 10k. the Cardio Endurance Olympics isn't for the weak of heart.0 -
I think weight lifting takes really a long time because you have to work out each muscle individually .... While rowing, you work out many muscle (biceps, shoulder, back and legs) in one stroke. I dont have the time to do weight lifting anymore (work and family)..... This is the reason, I was looking for an aerobic sport where I can work out my upper body: rowing seems perfect to me. I will try to weight lifting with some friends when I have time....
I am considreing adding more kcal in my diet
to the bolded part. FALSE, very very false. Ever heard of compound lifts?
Which weight lifting exercises are the best?
There is a classic combination of compound weight lifting exercises that most successful lifters used to bulk up. It’s known as the “golden five”. When most people talk about doing a “whole-body routine”, this is what they are referring to.
Exercise Name: Major Muscle Groups/ Minor Muscle Groups
Squats: Quads, hamstrings, glutes, lower back/ Lower legs, upper back, core stabilizing muscles, hip complex
Deadlifts:Grip, lower back, hamstrings, traps, back of shoulder/Lower legs, core, upper legs, isometric work for biceps, and virtually everything else
Bench press: Pecs, triceps, front of the shoulders/Serratus muscles at side of ribs, side of shouders, neck
Pullups (or rows): Lats and upper back, biceps, grip/Core, neck
Overhead pressing: Shoulders, triceps/Core stabilizing muscles, neck
And don't forget Olympic lifts (work more than one muscle as well!!)....
Either someone told you something wrong, and you believed them or you formulated your own incorrect opinion about lifting.0 -
Are you being punished for something? What did you do to deserve this sentence???
1.5 hours on a rower? On purpose???0 -
this looks like the best program to me... Hitting the cardio and the weights real fast, literally.0 -

ok... just a question... What would you consider as a vigorous weight lifting session?0 -
You found lifting boring but enjoy 1.5 hours on a rowing machine???
That's what I'm saying! I've only used a rowing machine once and I was done about ten minutes in. Yawn!0 -
I think the title says everything. Here is my new training program, what do you think of this?
You're fine if your goal is cardio endurance for sport or such. I would also find other cardio exercises, or some high intensity interval training to mix things up.
FOR sport? You misheard. Cardio Endurance IS his sport.
He's shooting for World Champion Cardiac Enduro Sportsman.
But he's gonna' have to beat this guy. Pretty sure he's the king of...something.

The one I did today. Took me 45 minutes and it was so vigorous that I had to sit in the locker room inhaling a banana just so I could make it to my car without fainting:
Heavy BB back squats
BB hip thrusters
Romanian deadlifts
Walking Lunges.0 -

you owe me a new keyboard/monitor... and a story to concoct to tell my coworkers why I'm dying in my chair here- clearly I don't do enough cardio to keep up with this kind of intensity.0 -
FOR sport? You misheard. Cardio Endurance IS his sport.
Well there ya go.
Looks a little light then and I would add in jump rope, ladder drills, and some sprints.
Your missing the zumba - now that's cardio - 1000 cals an hour I heard0 -

So what is your definition of vigorous weight session? heavy weight? when you cant move your arms?0 -

Well….no. None of those above mentioned exercises cause me to not be able to move my arms. A vigorous weight lifting session is one that gets your heart rate up, gets you sweating (maybe even swearing) and pushes your physical and mental limits. The amount of weight lifted and set/rep setup will be different for everyone based on their experience and goals.0 -

Probably something like an hour of Just Dance or wii Boxing.0 -
