cardio acceleration

I do both cardio acceleration and HIIT in a weeks schedule. What I do not do is slow steady boring cardio.
Boring is a very subjective term, a long run or a long bike ride are anything but boring........
I'm going to have to agree with this. Have you ever ridedn a mountain bike on the edge of a cliff? Gone 40+mph down a dirt hill, narrowly avoiding trees? Have you ever gone hiking into the middle of nowhere, climbed a 2 mi long hill, then taken in the view? Have you ever swam across a lake? Have you ever gone surfing or white water kayaking?
All of those are relatively steady-state cardio, and none of them are anything near boring.
+1 to this. And IMO better well rounded exercises/sport than any gym program trying to get you to do LESS to have MAXIMUM results.0 -
I used exactly how people are judging my fitness level on here which is the photos.
no one judged you, I commented on what exactly cardio acceleration was and how it was not for me. You then judged my fitness level.
You said you need a 15 minute warmup Which did not make sense for a good fitness level.0 -

I live in Maryland. The good bike trails are far or out of state in.
LOL! Are you kidding? You live on the east coast! There are TONNES of epic trails out there. Are you saying there are 0 acres of forestland in your state? If you have a forest or conservatin area, or anything that resembles a small hill (or larger, of course), you will have extremely good trails to ride on.

Professional atheletes take 10-15 minutes to warm up. Heck, top level cyclists warm up for 30-45 minutes before a time trial.
It's biology. No matter your fitness level, you need a solid, long warm up before you go all-out. If you think you're special because your fitness level is higher than everyone elses, then you are truely the definition of ignorance.0 -

Warmup time doesn't mean anything about fitness level.
I do a 30-40 minutes warmup before my track speedwork.... Doesn,t mean I'm not in good shape, it means I'm smart enough to do anything I can to avoid stupid injuries.0 -
whats an example of a work out you do for cardio acceleration?0

You compare less duration exercising to minimum effort which is not the way I workout.0 -

I do at least 20 minutes stretching, mobility and then increase heart rate work before I do anything. Why? I avoid injury, get loose and get myself ready to kick *kitten* for as long as I want.0 -

idk, i definetly like the idea of condensing workouts, doing more work then you'd typically do in less time, but seems to much of a compromise.
i'd rather do my HIIT and then weights or on different days0 -

Just curious: does quarelling over fitness make you a more fit person?
No. It reveals your personal dogmas...0 -

Nothing gets comprimised but your level of respect for others, friendliness, chivalry, tact, and level of intelligence.
But really, who cares when you're fitter than anyone who talks to you?0 -
That workout was a easier cardio acceleration day. I failed my last leg cardio acceleration day.0

The OP was just a question. Did it say anything about being in better shape then anyone. Nope but one of the answer came back as people wanting minimal effort for good results which I interpret as quick fix and being lazy.0 -

no but specifically told people that they couldn't do it at "your level" and that you judge peoples fitness based on their profile pics, gtfo0 -
OP, I do cardio acceleration as part of shortcut to shred on bodybuilding.com, I like it more because I'm pretty prone to injury with HIIT, but not so much with cardio acceleration, that and I love that I'm doing it all at once, so I don't have to drag myself to do HIIT after weights. So for me it's more effective, because I do it way more consistently.0

I won't disagree with this. I can see you interpreting people accusing you of doing the "simple quick fixes".
Yes, what you are doing has its place. If you are very cramped for time, you can get good results from short, high intensity workouts. That's not a bad thing.
But judging other people's fitness level from their pictures and saying that they can't do thing at "your level". Dude, show some class. You're looking very immature.0 -
