CARDIO 101 (what you're doing wrong) | Fouad Abiad

[@steviewang4102]

Most bodybuilders' cardio: -Walking to and from the fridge in between meals -Pushing the cart while grocery shopping -Reracking weights

[@ArMiNiSfUCkinRedicK]

😂😂😂😂😂 I feel attacked wtf dude..... As I walk to fridge to get a meal

[@willmach]

Don't forget the "shake-weight" motion of mixing a protein shake

[@SuperSmith12345678]

One thing I can never understand is those who say “how do you do they same thing every single day and eat the same food every single day”. I couldn’t even imagine not having a set routine and meal plan. I personally ask them how do you do everything different every single day.

[@cross123ish]

Best explanation of cardio I’ve heard...cardio sounds easy, yes everyone can do it but to think about it and how it effects the body is the point..many do cardio then lift, it works but not if you want to grow...the body is like a car, it has to have to have fuel, oil, fluids to run, and the car has to run right so it has to be tuned to run it’s best.

[@lysander52]

I love how he talks about things we actually care about!!

[@onurgilanliogullari4971]

Mr.Fouad its amazing how you explain everything in simple terms! I just wanted to add the reason that it does not feel good to do cardio after the meal is I think that blood rushes to your stomach for digestion where you start digesting whereas in the morning its empty and good to go!

[@FouadAbiad]

Yes that could be part of the reason also.

[@sunnyd9341]

As an Engineer, I love it when you go to the White Board! Drawing out the plan and explaining it, it takes me back to my days back in university. Fouad, be sure to add more white board sessions! You go through and explain the information really well. It separates you from the other channels!

[@quecee5]

I've been training for over 25 years and this is the most comprehensive and realist shit I've seen on KZbin on this topic. There are a bunch of internet trainers that have emerged over the past 10-15 yrs that have conflated when, where and how to perform cardio to maintain muscle while losing % body fat. The sad thing is most who are spewing this rhetoric can't seem to show the results it there physique. To have a pro bodybuilder to share this type of information and exhibit it in his physique is invaluable. Thanks for the share unfiltered, much appreciated. ~Que

[@MW2party]

In my humble opinion the best most underrated form of cardio is walking on an a incline on the treadmill. Max incline a 3 to 4 speed and you can easily burn 500 calories in 25 mins to 35 mins. I'm natural and do this form of cardio six days a week plus train hard and heavy with the weights and can recover. I wouldn't say I'm genetically gifted either. I use to do the elliptical six days a week and it will take away from your weight training if you are not careful. Like Fouad said find something that works for you that you can recover from and you also enjoy doing.

[@Bigredfitnessmoshe]

Think you are overestimating the calorie burn from that... maybe if you are 300lbs... no way your burning 500 if you are in and around 200 lbs

[@crazykorean2268]

Boxing for cardio is better except your appetite is through the roof

[@WaynesTW]

Underrated? At leat 1/2 of bodybuilders I know do it that way. Also even when I was 290 lbs I wouldn't burn that many calories. These are stair master on a high speed calorie burn levels. Also it wreaks havoc on your feet - if you're doing 45-1 hr/ 7 day per week at fairly high speed. It's better to switch it up if you can imo

[@TkKirkland-lm5wv]

It would take an hour plus to burn 500 calories walking on a treadmill... Can't even break a sweat

[@xmeatslingerx1228]

Yea man I do the full incline treadmill at 4.2 for 40min and MIGHT burn 180cals lol 😂 no way can you burn 500 in less than an hour, unless your cloe ting

[@seasiren2619]

Yes, yes, yes! So much YES! I absolutely have to cycle for my mental clarity. I always explain it to people that it is like my "meditation" time. Don't get me wrong, lifting is euphoric in it's own right but as a single parent(*for me), nothing beats cranking trance and pretending you're "exercising" your planned escape route, lol. I love my physique from weight training but my sanity and zen comes from pedal pushing ;) Thank you for being so informative, chill, and real. When I first started working out, every "pro" at my gym was quick to tell me everything I was doing wrong. As soon as I did what felt right for me, gains happened and the gym became my sanctuary. After awhile, the same "pros" were asking me for advice. My response remains the same, "Science, determination, and what feels good to you."

I was a certified trainer and I had the body especially since I do or did a lot of martial arts plus the gym training. I lost alot of the body and mental state that I was in.. So people like this man I appreciate bcuz it motivates me and revitalize my state of mind and being to getting back into health that leads into the shape I want.. people need to fully understand and take more then the questions and answers that people want to know especially from a pro.. You have to see the other stuff he’s pushing in this video and what I tell people. Your training and working out first and foremost for your health that’s it, now the ending result that comes with the healthy living is the body where ment to have which is healthy and lean where not ment to be the fattest country and the most unhealthy. Once you’ve achieved that health then it’s the next step of reaching a specific type of body meaning do you want to stay that lean look or do you want it to look more pleasing and very athletic.. Or are you the one that wants to add massive amounts of muscle and become a bodybuilder..! That’s what this guy is saying amongst others having these specific things in mind is gonna help out a lot.. it gives you a whole new found of respect for the body and mind not to mention the spirit.. Great job on the video bro and thank you..!! Much respect ✊🏽 and to everyone else that reads this GOD BLESS and good luck on your goals...

Super informative bro thank you! Happy lifting everyone.

[@nickwhetzler5595]

The effect of HIIT burning cals after the workout is overstated by a lot of people. Large meta analyses have been done to show the EPOCH effect (cals burned after a HIIT session) are in fact very minimal. In fact the most they found was a 12% after burn. That is 12% of the total cals burned during the session. The average was about 4%. However, because of the body's need to reach a level of physical homeostasis, it does in fact mobilize more fat throughout the rest of the day bc you burned predominately carbs during your HIIT session. Mind you this is fat mobilization NOT fat oxidation. Not to discredit HIIT but i agree with you HIIT is not going to be the best for bb's and the point you made about it being hard on your lower body was a GREAT point, you need more time to recover. Thanks for this video, excellent info as always, but the science is still being worked on when it comes to HIIT and people try to make HIIT into some kind of holy grail and it is not.

[@DTsoumpas]

Great video, really appreciate the straightforward advice. I have learned to avoid doing HIIT or going at too high-intensity LISS as well because of muscle breakdown (workouts and energy really suffer, I feel like I hit a wall). I also avoid making big changes; I don't jump into a full cardio routine from doing nothing. In fact, I started my "cardio" this phase by going for 20min walks 6x/wk no targets, and I arguably experienced little to no effect/benefit. However, after about 6 weeks of gradual change, I'm up to 6x/wk for 30 min incline treadmill walking at 70% MHR, and experiencing consistent fat loss. By doing it this way I've been able to avoid fatigue/soreness/extreme hunger, and have been able to maintain my sleep/diet/lifestyle. Huge benefits to being patient and making small changes.

Love this. Best explanation I've heard on cardio for bodybuilders. I've been doing too much running. I do 6-7 days a week, HIIT (fast jog/slow jog) for 20 minutes followed by 25-30 minute low intensity (brisk walk) all outside, same session (jog out, walk back). some hills etc. I think it might be negatively affecting my muscle gains. Now as the weather gets cooler, I'm going to come inside (more) and try the low impact on the step mill and see how it goes. According to my fitbit, I'm in my range (122.5 for me) for about 30 minutes of my cardio session (but 15 minutes even higher). I think it might be too much. So might be better to be in that 122.5 for 45-50 minutes instead with no time higher really. Makes a lot of sense. Thank you Fouad!
