Marathon runner here. Jogging is completely necessary to develop cardiovascular endurance. It all depends on what you are training for. I include sprints (speed work) in my program, but even for that I rarely do anything less than 400m intervals. The kind of sprints Jeff showed will barely do anything for cardiovascular development; you'll develop strength an anaerobic systems much more. I have to completely agree about getting outside whenever possible though.

@@joshuataylor3550 Not really, it very much depends on what you are trying to achieve. I am currently training for 10k races. My program consists of 3 easy days (zone 2 - 1 short followed by 80m sprints and 2 long easy runs 10+ kms), 1 medium day (z3 tempo usually 8km) and 1 hard (z3 to z4 intervals, hills). Most runners do a lot of Z2 training; in the running context it means I can chat with my running partner the whole way. What Jeff is saying isn't necessarily wrong either, it's more aimed at people who are 'jogging' only occasionally and poorly who would be better off just doing sprints.

[@hannessteffenhagen61]

@@joshuataylor3550 depends on what you're trying to achieve. Highest calorie burn per unit of time? Yes. Conditioning, total calorie burn? No. Reason mostly being, unless you're extremely fit already you simply can't keep up high intensity for very long, your body won't be able to keep up. Applying this to running, if you run at high intensity not only will your cardiovascular system struggle to keep up if you're not an experienced runner, you'll also do a number on your joints and you'll interfere with recovery from lifting. For most most people, regular low/moderate intensity cardio over longer periods of time is better if for no other reason than you'll actually be able to do it and keep doing it.

[@hypothalapotamus5293]

@@joshuataylor3550 No, it's not. If I look at most elite endurance athletes, they train mostly at low intensity with only a small fraction of their training volume at high intensity. High volume is the name of the game. This isn't even specific to runners, who tend to have a larger fraction of time devoted to high intensity than CC skiers and cyclists (this is due to running being higher impact, limiting maximum volume before injury.

[@blkwht9898]

Neither jogging nor static stretching before a workout is necessarily problematic; context is key. Yes, jogging is hard on the joints, it's not the most efficient way to burn calories in terms of cal/unit of time, and it can slow down muscle growth or bring about muscle atrophy. But high intensity workouts are difficult to sustain, can also be hard on the joints and can also bring about muscle atrophy. If building aerobic capacity is your goal, a moderate-intensity activity like jogging is indispensable. In fact, jogging constitutes something like 80% of all elite marathoners' workouts. Cf. Zinner, C. (2016). Training Aspects of Marathon Running. In *Marathon Running: Physiology, Psychology, Nutrition and Training Aspects* (pp. 153-171). Springer International Publishing. Yes, static stretching cold can cause injury and static stretching pre-weightlifting can decrease power output. But static stretching post-warmup and pre-workout is arguably preferable to no stretching. Static stretching pre-workout is also indispensable if tight muscles are impeding proper form (e.g. stretching the hip adductors or achilles pre-squat) or bringing about injury (e.g. stretching the quads before a jumping-intensive sport) and dynamic stretches don't get the job done.

The worst advise in terms of cardio and running. Run zone 2 out of a 5 zone model and run MORE. Do HIT running every time and you'll burn out in a week or two and end up injured. Theres a reason actual endurance athletes train mostly in the lower zones. It builds ENDURANCE which is aerobic cardio. Hit is anaerobic, and should only be use a month out from a race as its very hard on your body and very hard to recover from. You can't do 5 days of hit / anaerobic work in a week. Again you'll end up injured and over trained very quickly. Yes, if your just getting started walking is the best place. If your leading up to a race and already have an aerobic base then hit work is what's needed. For everyone in between who's looking for cardio (meaning aerobic) than "jogging" or running slow and getting in the miles is what's needed. This video is super misleading and pretty much incorrect on this aspect. Of course you can do what he says but you won't ever be super fast. Just over trained and injured with zero aerobic base.

Finally, something you said I disagree with. I've been doing HIIT workouts since November.

With no gym, I've converted the box jumps to jump rope alternate legs for 30 seconds. I always get past 100, usually past 120, with a PR of 148. So, perhaps your right after all, cause I'm not milking the jump roping. After about a month, my dog has stopped barking at me while jumping rope. My body has responded splendidly. I like all your videos, but my favorite is the "8 exercises I wish I'd been doing all along."

He makes some valid points, but I'm going to go out on a limb and disagree to an extent. Most people aren't super athletes and have limited motivation. If they are still moving and exercising even in a non-ideal manner it is still beneficial. For example exercise bike and treadmill don't replicate the actual movements perfectly, but do them with good technique and you are still getting a workout. Likewise I don't think jogging is bad, plenty of studies have shown jogging to be good at improving both health outcomes and VO2 max. In fact I just finished reading a book on the merits of slow jogging. There is no real evidence that jogging is bad for joints (providing you run on natural surfaces). In fact if anything recent studies have shown it improves joint health. Similarly with Tabata, yes ideally people would follow the protocol exactly, but I will wager even skipping slowly for 30 secs followed by 10 secs rest will do a decent job at improving fitness for the average person as well as burning calories. I understand what he is saying, but what I'm saying is for the average person, provided they are sensible and use good technique many of those things aren't bad. I think the biggest danger is the number of people in the world leading a sedentary life style and not moving much at all, even low intensity non perfect exercise (provided it is done in a safe manner) is far far better than nothing. Setting the bar too high with respect to intensity is going to actually demotivate some people. If you are super fit and an athlete, then feel free to disregard what I just said. My comment is more aimed at people who are unfit or average fitness and are just happy to make moderate gains in cardiovascular and muscular fitness. But I encourage everyone not to believe what I or anyone says, and instead to read various studies for themselves.

[@knownuthinarcher4308]

These videos are based on the assumption the goal is to train like a pro athlete or to significantly improve overall strength and health. So either you already have decent jogging endurance or it's just not enough to get the results you're looking for. If you just want to stay in decent shape, then a long brisk jog will do for most. But you won't get shredded. Pro athletes train harder than juniors just like elite teams in armed forces train harder than GIs, etc. They have to do more because more is asked/expected of them.

People also tend to not have disproportionate bodies like most regular gym goers. I don’t like the way Crossfitters come across sometimes in attitudes. I also don’t particularly think Crossfit games is tech “games”. People train to compete, they don’t train to...train. It’s weird.

Treadmills and Stairmasters can actually be a very good and effective cardio workout if you use them to it's full advantage. Using a treadmill on max incline is very convenient than trying to find a hill (which will always be limited by its peak). Plus the cardio machines force you to keep going and never stop. Also, they have timers on them which works really nicely if you try doing interval training. Running outside can actually be bad for your joints in the long run (no pun intended) if you're running on hard floor like sidewalks or concrete. If you ever plan on running outside, it's much better to run on a softer surface like dirt, grass, sand, or in the woods. It's not natural for humans to run on concrete. Back then, our ancestors ran wild through forests and what not. On top of that, they mostly ran barefooted, which is a more natural way to travel. The position of your feet is altered from it's natural state when you wear shoes compared to running barefooted.

[@malachiteone]

Love Jeff's video, but I feel like I do have to take issue here. I love my elliptical, it's been been a great way to get great cardio consistently at all times of the year. More importantly it's been critical to the progress I've made from my starting weight in spite of ankle issues. He's 100% correct about lazy form but it seems to me like having the correct form is important with all forms of resistance training so why should this be different? I'd love to see Jeff specifically coach viewers on proper elliptical use. Regardless of your age or starting fitness level, you can get an intense workout in limited minutes with very, very little impact.

[@123meanderer]

Yes, I agree. I love my Rogue Echo bike. I generally enjoy watching these videos, but the real object of this one seems to me to be provocative, to get people going as they say. The comment that "machine based cardio will never replicate what it actually feels like when your body is out in space doing these activities for itself" goes for absolutely everything that happens in a gym. I mean when you pick up something heavy in real life it's going to be a big awkward shape like a fridge or motorcycle or something . . . you're never going to come across something that looks like a barbell with weights attached. I might not be able to give you tips on working out, but I can help you with words. If you want to be rude about everyone making an effort to get fit at the gym, don't mess about with these far fetched examples. I'd just say what you want to say. It's still rude as heck, but a lot more efficient to say it this way. I'd applaud that.

Another elliptical user here. I've got a bad hip and my doctor recommends the elliptical over jogging since it's less impact on the joints. However, some of the other commenters have made important points - we're probably not professional or even amateur athletes like the folks that particular comment is being aimed at. (I'm just another formerly obese person trying to get fit, myself.) For those who are actually training for sport performance, non-machine cardio probably is for the best. And my trainer has, in fact, forced me to do battle ropes instead of machine cardio for the last month. It's a lot harder than it looks...

As a tall person that had a leg injury, and after years of training has joint pain from running and playing basketball, I learned the easiest form of cardio, and the most enjoyable is hopping on the mountain bike, and riding all over the neighborhood communities. You don't have to go uphill, or drive into insane hills, or down them. Riding straight for about an hour or even two will feel great on your body, without damaging your joints, or running your heart into the ground. You set the pace, and you control it, and you get to see the sights. My heart was never the strongest, I couldn't run long distances, but always ran, nowadays I just bike, and it feels GREAT! To anyone with joint pain, or not strong enough heart for marathons, I would go a simple way of riding a bike.

It's amazing how some people who swear by running are allergic to sprinting. I softened up my stance, though, because not everyone's life goal is to be an elite athlete, and that they just want to be healthier, and if jogging achieves this for them then who are we to tell them to knock it off. Plus, for some people, being outdoors and spending time in motion is the real gains.

[@flash92gaming]

He was talking about people jogging while overweight, hence putting too much pressure on the joints. And yea the bad technique part is universal. Also, from what I've read (read up on bits of physiology from random books at uni lol), whether something is a natural mode of movement or not depends on the physiological need/purpose. Walking- covering a distance basically. Sprinting- running away from something or perhaps trying to catch something (e.g. hunting) or reach somewhere asap; if that is the case, the brain goes into its "fight or flight" mode as it is a matter of urgency. What is the purpose of jogging? Covering a distance?- if you have time you can relax and walk, if urgent you try and sprint there asap. In what situation do you actually "need" to jog at moderate pace? A sport is not a "need", it is voluntary participation. Jogging, if you breakdown the form, is literally power-walking with jumps at the end of every step. Sprinting on the other hand is completely different with the forward-leaning angle and more muscle involvements, which implies that this form of movement has a different purpose than walking as the body automatically shifts into a different form of movement. When we jog, we are forcing our bodies to mix up walking and jumping at the same time. No hate. Just saying that running at a moderate pace is only involved in sport and is not a natural "need" for our bodies (VO2 max can be improved with any form of cardio). May be I am taking a few books too seriously lol. I myself go for a 3-5km jog at least 2x a week in addition to other types of training and do believe in the benefits for improving your max capacity for cardio, but personally don't believe it is a natural mode of movement :)

[@speedysnail7279]

As a cyclist jogging is important if you run. It is the same principle as zone 2 training on a bike.

It is also psychologically important because you can't train hard in higher zones every time. Ar least if you don't to get bored or dread your workout.

My knees died everytime compared to when we would do 60/120s. 60 second sprinting. 120 seconds walking. For an hour. I would be exhausted and my knees did not feel painful. Results my 2 mile run time went from 17 mins to about 15 mins with that work.

[@Scootenfruity]

Maybe your knees suck

[@mrtony1985]

Jogging is great. Love this channel & lifting but am so sick of muscle-building dudes hating on jogs. Sprints more often lead to muscle pulls and injury. Nice easy jogs for 30 min a day 5x a week and anyone can lose weight.

[@sarahlevine2397]

The running one doesn’t make sense to me because what about -long distance running-? It’s slightly more intense than jogging but nowhere near a sprint. It’s supposed to actually strengthen your mobility and muscles that protect your joints, and it’s more practical than a full on sprint which has a different aim

[@mattmoore8897]

No

[@dean8525]

Strengthen your mobility? Wut.

[@honzakobrik9817]

It doesn´t make sence because its absolute nonsence. But that should be obvious at phrase "real athletes only do sprints." How dumb you have to be to let that out of your mouth? And the guy is actually making money of the fact he allegedly knows something about fitness and training. Sad.

[@jan-ck7td]

Try occasionaly paddling forward and backward on a elliptical with loose hands. It's a great balance exercise for the elderly. Also elliptical training is low impact on the knee. Which is not necessarily a good thing, but it is when suffering from arthritis. Finally you can do all sorts of zone- and interval training as you wish. I like training on the elliptical very much.

All cardio is good. Walk, swim, run, jog, bike, treadmill, agility exercises, etc. Mix it up. The key is to get 30-60 minutes 5 x a week. The quest for more muscle while sacrificing cardio is dumb. An athlete = a person who is trained or skilled in exercises, sports, or games requiring physical strength, agility, or stamina.

[@cleanclothes]

I personally use a half-an-hour run for mental clarity because it find allows to me enter the flow state easily (especially compared to HIIT, though some might say it gives your the same cardiovascular benefits). Overtime I find running both on a treadmill and outdoor to be a form of meditation. So I guess the mental benefit of steady state cardio is what's been overlooked here in this video :)

[@SunMyst]

Pii Arporniem that’s not what he’s referring to in his critique. He’s referring to people who want to get the maximum benefit of their exercise, but use jogging as their primary means of exercise. You won’t get the most gains by jogging. If you want to jog for relaxation and enjoyment, go for it! (I do) But for those who are trying to get in the absolute best shape possible, jogging isn’t as ideal for that.

[@jcg7719]

Flow state? Are you gonna rap or something?

[@AlwonDomz]

Treadmills are good for establishing tempo when you’re training for time. I definitely try and spend more of my running outside to get that real conditioning though.

My Highness but that’s not crossfit. They don’t program heavy lifts with cardio. They would do light to moderate lifts with cardio but heavy lifting is done by itself.

football training is a lot different than normal everyday crossfit. if you are training for a specific sport like football then it is not dumb. but for the average person that level of intensity is not necessary or advised.

I'm glad he brought up the new fad of lifting weights and in between sets doing a light weight exercise. I don't understand that, you need a break between heavy weight lifts. That break isn't meant for push ups and jump squats.

[@srinitaaigaura]

Depends on your shoes. Thick soles promote heel striking, which is responsible for most foot issues in runners. And your weight. My gym trainer feels that you should first cut down before serious muscle work as there is much less load on your joints. Check your foot arch, flatter feet have serious issues in running and jumping. Besides, in exercise there is something called recovery, which is where the strengthening happens. That's why you shouldn't train every day.

[@colinsimon777]

But running below your top of "zone 2" is the best way to gain aerobic capacity. So if you want any real endurance you will be running waaay slower than a sprint.

[@avigetsbored]

Generally if you care about longevity and functional strength then it makes sense to focus more on slow twitch muscle and low impact exercise with a focus on your cardiovascular system. Focusing exclusively on high impact fast twitch training is an easy way to be using a walker by 75.

Definitely not geared towards endurance athletes. My average caloric expenditure for a marathon is about 5,100 calories. You learn to not pound the ground every stride. As far as someone just getting in shape their sprint may look like a jog until they get stronger and lose some mass.

[@mrmacross]

Well, Cross Country is competitive running. A lot of casual joggers just slow down to make it from here to there, and don't challenge themselves or their competitors to pick up the pace. I don't think competitive CC counts as jogging since the goal is still the same as sprinting: get from the start to finish line in the least amount of time.
