7 Surprising Benefits from Combining Cardio with Calisthenics

[@BodyweightMuscle]

Hey everyone, I nowadays focus on helping busy dads so if that's a category you fall into make sure you *join our Free Busy-dad Nutrition & Calisthenics course* → bit.ly/dadbod-course and send me a personal msg if you need any help! *Cardiosthenics tutorial* kzbin.info/www/bejne/nZiwmZWPZ61qh9E *Zone 2 Alternaternative: How to Combine Calisthenics with Zone 1 for Fat-loss* kzbin.info/www/bejne/h3uvk3hsrJeCesk *Interested in personal coaching?* Send me an email at [e-mail] The last months I’ve been experimenting with adding a lot of extra zone 2 (light cardio) to my training. The benefits I’ve noticed surprised me! Plus, there is a lot of fascinating research emerging again regarding zone 2, making cardio once again popular! I have to admint, I never was a fan of it in the past... ...but the more I learn about it, the more I’m realizing how powerful it can be when you make it part of a balanced calisthenics weekly routine! Check it out!

As a 59 year old male who started training at 14 and still runs, cycles, trains with weights and does calisthenics I can tell you that the 30s are great-my peak performances in everything came in my mid 30s. You young guys think you’re slowing down and things are so hard after 30. Not so for most things and people. The exceptions might be people who really abused their bodies when the were teens and 20s or pro athletes who really overdid things and or took PEDs and have gone though lots of injuries. Fir most people the 30s will be your peak years that you will look back at fondly and remember for being your strongest and fittest. I wish all you young internet fitness experts would stop saying you decline after age 30…. It just isn’t so.

Yeah Zone 2 is the key to keep frequency high and get all benefits from cardio. I realized that by instinct trying to find a level of cardio that I could do everyday together to calisthenics.

[@abcdefgh4404]

Cardio and calisthenics is the best way to get lean and healthy…no doubt. I am on vacation and during this time I found a bball court near the hotel. Everyday I combine jump rope and calisthenics (upper / Lower routine) and I lost some weight even not follow a strictly health diet. My training last 40 min everyday. Tks for inspiring us. 👊🏻👊🏻🇧🇷🇧🇷

Hi A, nice work, losing weight while on vacation while most people do the opposite 😃💪🏻

Hi Anthony... I've been doing this for about 5 years now... just evolved into it, instead of splitting strength and cardio I began to combine them and I found I loved it... I work full body push pull squat and core and between each set I do 1 minute jump rope 1 minute rest... I do this every day and I'm now 60 years old... I'm convinced it's improved and maintained my sleep and my physical and mental wellbeing and I'll never train any other way now... thankyou Anthony 👍

[@BodyweightMuscle]

Hi Dave, that's awesome, you must be in boxing/Rocky Balboa shape, mixing jump rope and strength ain't easy! 😃💪🏻🥊

[@davefella1890]

@@BodyweightMuscle just to be clear Anthony... like youself I would never advocate strength training every single day... I train 6 days a week and do this by training 3 days on and one day off and always with an intensity that I know I can ricover from 👍

[@BodyweightMuscle]

Right, well it sounds like you really know your body. Auto-regulation is always key for sustainability! 💪🏻

Hi TrT! Haha, that's true, I now get it :))

[@stephenbaggott2815]

Great content Anthony, patience’s is definitely needed to stay in zone 2, it’s a skill with great benefits.

[@BodyweightMuscle]

It's quite enjoyable once you get used to it, you can do so much of it without getting tired, plus you burn some extra calories , which might not seem like a lot on a daily basis but they do add up at the end of the week!

Mon, weds, Fri.. run 2 min, push ups, pull ups.. run 2 min, dips, body weight rows… repeat 4x Tues, Thurs.. Walk 3 min, jump rope 1 min.. Raise incline… up the ladder and back down.. easy way to get your 40 min on treadmill. This has me leaner than I was in my 30’s.

[@cesarpacheco2808]

What do you do for legs? Or is it just cardio?

[@markmiranda9292]

@@cesarpacheco2808 this is my leanout phase.. jump rope and walking hits calves a bit. When I do work in legs-squats, lunges, asst. pistols, and kettlebell work to add load

I'm someone that's pretty much always neglected Cardio... I can't lie. I'm turning 34 in April and it's something I've realised I need to start prioritising! Do you think circuits alone is enough for the benefits in this video?

[@BodyweightMuscle]

Hi JB! Circuits are a great start, but once you get used to them, I'd also add at least one cardiosthenics session per week!

[@joshuabush2569]

​@@BodyweightMuscle thanks man 💪

[@epictetus2574]

I think I was already doing it without knowing, because I train 6 times a week; 3 upper-body workouts and 3 lower-body & core workouts respectively; and on the 3 days I trained my lower body I used to ride my stationary bike at full hard resistance, but calmly, for 6 minutes before starting with further warm-up exercises and the rest of the training. Whilst in the past week I have progressed the time on the stationary bike on my lower-body days up to 10 mins, and it feels great. Do you think I need to cycle a bit on my upper-body days as well?

[@BodyweightMuscle]

Hi Epictetus, nice work! Yes, you can add that, as long as it's light intensity, I don't think it will hinder your upper body exercises (plus you are already starting with a great foundation!)
