All Things Cardio; A Bodybuilding Perspective: Episode 29


Listen Later

I can't believe it, we are actually talking about the "C" word on a podcast episode... Yup, all lifters sworn enemy, cardio *audible gasps fill the air* 😱

All jokes aside, while the memes may be strong with cardio, it is still a vital piece to the overall health and fitness journey.

In this episode, we discuss our views on cardio, how we implement it in our own/clients training and much more as seen below!


Here are some of the topics we cover:

  • Defining cardio; operational definitions and why we would even consider something other than pumping iron


  • The interference effect: what is it and why it is not as scary as some make it out to be (i.e. does cardio actually ruin your gains?)


  • A few goalposts to keep in mind to make integrating cardio easily into your lifestyle


  • Cardio is NOT the enemy and it can actually be fun; it’s all in the approach


  • Personal preferences matter; pick a modality you enjoy, you don’t need to suffer


  • Pairing cardio with other fun activities/habits/people; anime + cardio = the secret šŸ˜‰


  • A potentially ā€œhot takeā€ on fasted cardio and the importance of fostering a positive relationship with exercise

    Ā
