This is what I’ve read, the calories-over-time that muscle burns “for free” outweighs any weight loss you can get from exercise.
Cardio is more for escaping melee combat
I had no special goal for exercise other than to reduce “all cause mortality” and my internet research steered me toward 30 minutes of moderate cardio. But I have also heard that strength/cardio are interrelated.
i said cardio is exercise for heart and lungs- speaking less broadly, the better shape your heart and lungs are in, the better you can be at resistance training; you’ll have more stamina and faster recovery, and things in general will be easier to do (walking, stairs, keeping up with children). resistance training makes the rest of your body stronger, so that things in general get easier, like lifting things etc. you can get away with only doing cardio or only doing resistance but best to do a bit of both, i think. but you should also train a bit for flexibility.
you can run/row/elliptical yourself skinny (not without eating healthy) but you cant run yourself jacked, you need to build muscle. unless you’re a sprinter, i guess
Yeah I just saw my doctor yesterday and they said that cardio is great but if I want to feel my energy level improve I need to do strength training. So that’s another factor to put on the list. Fortunately they said that 10 minutes would be enough, because 30 mins cardio, 30 mins strength, and ideally 30 mins flexibility like you mentioned would be awesome but ain’t nobody got time for all that.
It is easier to limit excess calories than to burn them with exercise, for sure.
But I do the recommended 30 minutes of “moderate exercise” and I see 200 calories, so it is maybe not entirely as dismal as this?
building muscle through resistance training is the best way to get your body to burn more calories. cardio is exercise for heart and lungs

Lol that’s hilarious, and also lowkey why I always make sure I can run at least one mile flat out
