Why Is Cardio Bad For Me

HIDDEN QUESTION 2:
“Why Is Cardio Bad For Me?”
Okay… that’s an over-statement. It’s not ‘bad’ for you… it’s just not nearly as ‘good’ for you as the media and magazines want you to believe.
Especially if you do it the way they suggest: Too long, too frequently.
Do it the way I suggest and watch what happens.
First, spend 80% of your exercise time doing ‘resistance’ training, not cardio… but rest very brief between sets.
My newest update to “7 Minute Muscle” is called “7 Minute Body”. It combines both “7 Minute Muscle” and an additional 100 or so pages of in-home ONLY workouts.
That way you can train in the gym… or in your home… and get it done in 7 to 14 minutes a day. Done!
You will be shaping your body and burning-off some major calories at the same time… all without boring cardio.
Then when you “do” cardio, do it the way I detail in “7 Minute Body”… use the 9-minute GXP Cardio Workout.
Add simple walking to this several days a week and your cardio is set.
GXP works because it is progressive and does not over-tax the recovery system. You warm up, then hit about 85% of your max effort, then cool down.
But the key is ‘when’ to do it… and that’s covered in my book.
I still enjoy sitting on my bike and watching TV, but I do that just to burn-off those last bits of bodyfat. Most of you do not need to do this.
It’s a waste of time for the masses… but resistance training is not.
Oh, one more thing: Runners have a far higher degree of heart attacks than non-runners. So cardio ‘can’ be bad for you if you over-do it.
NOTE: You can pick up “7 Minute Body” at 77% off…
but only if you get EODD…
