I just received an interesting email from a reader who apparently loves cardio and disapproves of my anti-cardio stance:
I will never join Mode now that I have read your views on cardio. I am sure my heart and lungs would agree with me too.
Too bad for her, since my circuit training workouts are more effective and time-efficient towards improving cardiovascular health than the long boring marathon cardio sessions she’s likely doing.
The problem with cardio is that many people think the only way to get fit and burn fat is to do mind-numbingly boring cardio sessions 5 days per week. Simply not true.
Circuit training effectively works your heart and lungs while also providing you a total-body muscular, bone, and joint workout. The most time-efficient way to exercise, and perfect for people who’s goal is to enjoy life and not waste hours upon hours each week running on a treadmill.
