How To Use Cardio The RIGHT Way To Burn Fat & Lose Weight | Mind Pump 2157

[@Leo31291]

1. Find a form of resistance training that you enjoy 2. Find a form of cardio you enjoy 3. Do both a few times a week 4. Increase your daily steps and activity 5. Witness the gains!!

[@isabelcastaneda7439]

So spot on!!!

[@ceci1202]

I'm a nurse. I use cardio for health and stamina. I do resistance training for the strength. I need both to be able to do CPR and to transfer patients that are usually twice my size.

[@primrosed2338]

​@@MostAlpha Obesity is largely related to chronic diseases, so a little empathy goes a long way. It's 2024, this train of thought is archaic.

[@MostAlpha]

@@primrosed2338 Obesity is a function of metabolic damage. Keep insulin low, spikes to a minimum and do not follow any recommended nutritional advice.

[@LadyGreyAgeingDisGracefully]

@@MostAlphasadly it isn’t just patients. A lot of healthcare staff are obese too! Where I work it’s a majority.

[@missys50]

I used to do a ton of cardio, almost two hours a day. Once I entered menopause, that was no longer feasible for me. I started strength training about two years ago. I have never looked or felt better. I am my best me at 54 !

[@kerrysnyder9810]

These guys are practically poets with all the different metabolic metaphors they've come up with over all of these episodes. I like it.

School teacher here, just starting school and getting back into a routine at the gym. Would LOVE the Super Bundle. Thanks a bunch for all the episodes, content and free advice, Mind Pump rocks!!

[@dianabantz6312]

I'm 56 been running from the weight and wanting a better body my entire life! I've started eating the correct protein slowly adding weight training to my routine and not killing myself with the crazy workouts man! I feel so much better! Looking forward to making big changes even at my age❤

[@shelbymartin9830]

Just gonna be honest, when I first saw a thumbnail of these three guys on my suggestions I was like,”oh brother another misogynistic meat head process”, and man was I surprised. This is the ONLY podcast I will listen to and I have learned SO much in a matter of weeks. Thanks y’all.

[@janfauzt]

You guy always drop in the best timing, I tried high reps and sets and was getting tired in the 3rd set. I really need to add a little bit of cardio in my routine!

[@kamisundstrom6277]

This came at the perfect time. I'm just starting a 12 week rotation with very little cardio. I was considering adding in extra cardio. I needed this reminder!!

[@Godisfeared]

I just started personal training about a year ago, and this podcast has flipped everything I knew about personal training. I went from barely knowing what to do to help clients to being confident that I can help almost anybody. I get a tremendous amount of value from the free stuff y’all put out. I am 20 years old moved out and paying for massive amounts of protein, but as soon as I can afford it , I am looking forward to buying all the maps courses and seeing how that adds even more value to training others and even my own training. Thank you mind pump for providing so much value ‼️

[@garyherrera2503]

Awesome show I needed help with my fitness goals and your show has helped me a lot Now I need a good workout plan I hope I win this Super Bundle this video

[@laurawilde9023]

Glad to hear this episode- I completely changed my workouts because of you guys, but I do want to be able to train cardio again at some point once I lose the weight! Thanks for all the info as always!

[@Gingerinthesouth]

Great episode! I had not moved any weight on scale but have been on creatine and working out more strength training I had someone say wow you look great you’ve lost weight 😂so I believe your theory I trust y’all more each episode keep on sending us this info! ❤

[@michellemead6990]

So glad this episode came out. As someone who is currently struggling with the bombardment of fitness advice and still overweight this episode was a must! I need stamina as a school teacher but I also want to be strong. Thank you!

[@christinatorrens413]

Thank you for this episode!! I was just thinking of adding more cardio to my routine to lose weight lol

[@BeeBumbleTuna]

Been following your guys advice with resistance training and a good clean diet, I’m down 43 pounds since June 1st! Love all the insight from the three of you, it’s really invaluable. A big thanks!! 🤘🏼

[@sanjam11]

Wow! What was your starting weight?

[@BeeBumbleTuna]

@@sanjam11 Starting was 298 and I’m at 252 currently :-)

[@RupinPahwaOfficial]

I do a circuit style strength training routine where I am always pushing myself on every exercise (strength) and keeping my heart rate up (cardio)

[@Kevin-qo5ce]

I have been following #mindpump podcast and get learn more about fitness ecosystem. Guys provide useful information and advice on fitness topics and it’s a knowledge for me and everyone who are involved in fitness. P.S. For instance, a person is doing cardio training on treadmill and aimed to complete at least 5 Km. Despite time differences to complete 5km, calories burned from jogging and walking would be same right? Would appreciate your thoughts on this 😊

[@andymore62]

13:50 “Muscle is the side effect of strength” So spot on. All these enhanced KZbinrs have confused people into thinking they can just do isolation lifts, cables, etc at a high volume and jet jacked out of their mind, but natural lifters have to build that base of strength before they can really pack on muscle anyway.

[@mattarndt4452]

I appreciate you guys, but this may confuse people. Cardio does burn fat. It’s really about how much someone does that will determine if the body turn catabolic and starts to consume muscle for energy. Diet timing and exercise duration are critical factors.

[@Mamba0024]

Been wanting to get on one of the programs! Great video and as always great info!

[@Zaebedgood]

I love these episodes

Thanks lol

[@drx6139]

Thnx for lmk how much to skip ahead 👍

[@pamelawilliams9574]

This episode was wonderful. I've been working hard to get rid of the mentality that cardio is necessary for weight loss. I strength train 3 days a week and do a 15-20 minute HIIT circuit 2 days a week with stretching afterwards. Walking is my go to everyday just to stay active and keep a clear mind. Love your channel!!

[@huckjunoy]

As a cardio addicted for years and years due to my body image complexe this episode and you podcast in general is the best weapon for me to kill my bad behaviors around fitness and nutrition and be on the right pathwa,although it took too long... gratefull to be a fidel listener of MindPump!

[@TyeSmith-s2v]

I’m about to start my cut for a show in September. Is there a more efficient way to keep muscle during this time?

[@ara912]

I am ready to learn 🤓 ✍🏻

[@jordancjonza]

Because of you guys I’ve completely changed my life and mindset for the better. I’ve changed my diet to whole natural foods, stopped the obsessive cardio and started weight training consistently. My strength has increased even though my weight has been the same for the past 2 months. The old me would’ve assumed that the training isn’t working and stopped, but now I’m more educated and know that I’m on the right track. My only regret is that I wish I’d found you guys sooner!

[@enviousmonster1238]

I feel that 2 my bench has went from 225 to 275 in last 3 months and I see my arms and chest tightening up but the weight hasn’t changed more then 5-8 pounds that bounce up and down. Keep going bro we got this.

[@fluffybunny2984]

Thank you for making this episode! I was definitely that girl on low cal doing lots of cardio for the wrong reasons! I still see a lot of people at the gym over doing cardio, so hopefully it reaches more people!

[@ryandeffley7652]

My cardio of choice is jumping rope, and I do it for 20-30 min 5-6 days per week. But I've never done it for fat loss purposes. It's more for heart health, vo2 max, and to stay conditioned for lifting intensity. Also, it's such a great way to start the day right out of bed with full body circulation. Aside from that, I love outdoor walking on a daily basis just to be generally active and get some extra sun. It's great for health/wellness.

[@hockeymomavalon2499]

It's like you guys read my mind!! Looks like I'm buying another program!

[@SavvyBroadcasting]

Thank you for another fantastic episode! As someone who relied on cardio for most of my life and recently transitioned to strength training, this episode on how to incorporate cardio effectively was truly invaluable.

[@john.jai.sullivan]

I’ve been waiting on this!

[@EvanZamir]

Cardio is extremely useful for fat loss. You guys are clueless. Or maybe you just have great genetics and don’t know what it means to struggle with fat loss all your life. If I don’t do cardio I gain weight. It’s that simple.

[@MindPumpShow]

Keep on listening dude, maybe even re-watch the episode. The folks who are in your situation are exactly who we are trying to reach with this message. To sum it up: If you rely on cardio for fat loss, it will be a constant uphill battle- and like you said, if you stop, you lose. What we are saying is that you can actually teach your body to burn body fat on its own. You can only do that with strength training! It isn't so much about the calorie burn during exercise, its about the calorie burn during the other 23 hours of the day. Again, maybe rewatch the episode to get a more in-depth explanation. Best of luck to you!

[@idakwiatkowska2862]

I had the same problem until i listend to them. So stop excess cardio

[@cristainservin5440]

A wise man once said “The best cardio is cardio in which you can imagine yourself speaking to somebody next to you and not being out of breath while doing both.”

[@MichelleNicholsPhoto]

I really appreciate this episode, as someone who is on a journey to lose 75+ lbs to hopefully start a family with my husband (and who has battled being overweight their entire life) I’m constantly fighting the temptation to go all in on cardio because that’s what gave me ‘quicker results’ in the past. But honestly I enjoy lifting weights way more anyways, and this episode gave me some relief from that pressure and to keep my focus on strength. I still want to improve my health overall though so knowing how to program some HIIT and more steps in to help my heart and endurance is so helpful. Grateful to mind pump!

Can totally relate to this. Ive been doing supersets using strength and resistance paired with an erg machine. Quick short bursts for last 3 months. Got weighed yday and I'd lost 6kg, 5kg of it fat and 1kg muscle

[@gfitfitnessstudio]

I’ve been lifting for 33 years, but I’ve been doing cardio for 42! I’m currently in the throes of the longest I’ve ever gone without cardio because #mindpump. 😉 I miss the endorphins, but I don’t miss the time it takes!

[@kenfordbody4lyfefitness]

If as you guys have alluded to , that ANYTHING (Gardening, dancing, playing with your kids etc) can be in fact “Cardio” Can strength training be done to produce a cardiovascular affect as well? Can we put under that umbrella of “Things that are Cardio (Biking/hiking/Running & swimming) Weight Lifting as well?

[@michaelcarpio2276]

Ive recently started running, 40km per week in 2 bouts of 10k, 50mins and 1 bout of 20k, 2 hours. Do running gels (pure carb) prevent muscle loss during my longer runs??. Currently still strength training 5/6 times per week taking 48hrs between runs and my leg days

[@latinalove7139]

I'm new to working out.. so my question is.. How long should I do cardio before I start my workout on weights/strength training? I've heard 10-15 of cardio, then the workout.. but if anyone knows something different.. please let me know!.. Thank you!

[@Precio70]

I love your videos, but here, I think you totally missed the ball… Cardio is the best way of loosing fat. Period. As any exercise, you cannot rely only on it in the long run. And that should be the message. You mention at one point of your video: look at high-level sports people… yes, I have: no one has a leaner body than medium to long distance runners or swimmers, or soccer players… When you are 100 pounds overweight, the fact that you loose some muscle when doing cardio is totally irrelevant… you need to loose fat, and Cardio will be the way to go (at the initial phase). I believe you need to change your message: Cardio is the best thing you can do, but if you think is the only thing that you have to do, it is wrong as well (as it is wrong only doing weight training). I just lost 44 pounds walking. I am building muscle now, and I am not paying attention to the scale anymore. Thanks for the rest of the videos!! 🙏🏽

[@LoveLife-gv8jg]

This makes me sad. I may be the only person I know who LOVES to run. I pay absolutely no attention to the calories because 2 snickers knocks that out😅. I pay attention to pace. My goal is 3 miles/30 mins

[@RockyP-xw8rd]

A lot of the misinformation about cardio for fat loss comes from the tradition of PED enhanced bodybuilders who made doing hours and hours of LISS cardio for fat loss a thing. Even drug enhanced athletes can burn away muscle with too much cardio. I can’t emphasize how important this episode is for all individuals, enhanced or not. Like, save to favorites, listen to again and again if you hit a plateau.

[@claymonaro68]

I used to love doing cardio, but since finding this show I've learnt to do strength training to improve my mind and body and do cardio for fun, not to punish myself

[@dbron3695]

I weight train 5 days a week but i make sure to walk 10-20k steps throughout the day, i eat high protein diet… Does walking really count as that muscle destroying cardio or that xtra stress.. i haven’t noticed any muscle loss going off what ic in the mirror but also im surrounded by opinionated people and they would tell me yo u look like ur dying lol losing to much (that did happen about 3 yrs ago)

[@kookoo4mike]

I heard that sprinting releases a chemical or hormone in your body that signals the ENTIRE body to build muscle. Is that why all sprinters look so buffed and muscular?

[@mattTHEEgreat]

Tip number 5 for the win, if you enjoy it you will do it more often. Anything from pick up basketball to sex with your spouse can be considered a great form of cardio.

[@GuidetteExpert]

Walking is cardio so this title is misleading. Areas where there is more transportation options like taking buses, metros and bicycle have on average less body fat than in society's where there minimal transportation options where they use their own car. And even when you are not moving you get anxiety and end up eating more. When you walk your not only burning fat you also have less appetite because you have less anxiety.

[@RonaldTrotter-vk6pr]

Fasted cardio Black coffee Has worked for me. Stready state cardio is good for my mind & soul

[@josiesfitness8385]

This is so wrong i lost 243 lbs all natural saw trainers dieticians blah blah cardio is key you will not lose muscle do light weights without cardio i would still weigh 395lbs know your body everyone is different i come from a family of obese people it is hard our metabolism is so different and we are voluminous eaters to this day i just had a baby 42 years old eat more than my husband and iam 20 pounds away from pre baby weight cardio is key at least for me do it hard watch your posture ❤ dont listen to everything you hear its wrong

What if you do strength training 5 days a week, diet and fasted cardio 7 days a week?

[@KirinFire96]

Back when I was 14. I was skinny fat and I thought the best way to lose fat was with cardio. Sadly there wasn't any good fitness info around on the internet so I had no idea what I was doing. I wish I knew about how to properly weight lift when I was 14. I wasted so many years on cardio when I could've built muscle. It probably stunted my growth to some degree.

[@DaHumbleBreadMaker]

I haven't trained in 6wks the last week was the 3rd wk in MAPS Performance, where I had just completed Anabolic. I get alot of cardio at work but want to start lifting again where should I start back? I have not been able to workout (strength train) for about 6-7 weeks. However i am very active 4-5 days a week at work where I work 12-14hr days lifting 10-50lbs, climbing, squatting, walking. I get between 9000-12000 steps a day at work alone depending on the day. I only get about 6-7 hrs of sleep. There were a few things with my heart that was keeping me from lifting, right now the last thing is a injured middle finger that is pretty much almost healed but in a stint.

The only one tip that you missed for fuel for performance is if say you do a run or a cycle then after you finish and want to eat everything in the fridge you haven't fueled enough during the workout and you haven't got maximum gain.

[@Yaseen_Khaliq]

Great channel and great advice, I am trying to get over the same message on my channel, keep up the great work guys

[@stormrhode2330]

I'm glad Adam said what he did about cutting calories. I'm surprised Sal brought it up the way he did. That was NOT the way to bring up that point. Otherwise, I liked the discussion. As someone who's performance-driven, I would say cardio is essential. And I know these guys tend to denounce circuit training and doing strength training when fatigued, but that's basically counter to performance. If you want to be most capable, you have to be versatile and strong even when you're fatigued.

[@Douglass10]

I’m a runner and love to run 2-5mi distances. Run every other day. I have muscle and fat 5’9 207lb 9min mi. When I dropped my cals to 2200, on top of getting 10k steps, doing calisthenics then running 2mi. I noticed I started to binge eat every Wednesday, just buy a box of pizza, burgers, sweets whatever. I upped my cals to 2700 started strength/strong man training and noticed I stopped binge eating. I just started this program this month, plan on doing it for 4months, can’t wait to see how it will effect my body.

[@BeckyJB]

Cardio! Great timing…my question is can we do 20 minutes walking on a treadmill and incline right after a weightlifting split body session without loosing muscle? I just started cardio but get the same feeling sometimes when I train with weights my confusion is if fat loss of 30 lbs is my goal should I stay off cardio or start 20 minutes cardio three days a week? Ps I’m weightlifting 4-5 days a week 1.5hours. 21:48 answered my question 🙋‍♀️ thank you! 27:57

[@cgibbs0816]

I have been a lean athletic build me entire life and have been a hard gainer when I have attempted various self employed resistance routines. I am now 37 years old and had accepted my "skinny" body. I started watching 6 months ago and you guys have given me the direction, hope and purpose needed to re-motivative with resistance training. The health benefits of muscle is something I want for myself but as well for my three kids and wife. I have been a avid mountain biker / cycler for most of my life, my VO2 max is around a 54 these days. I have temporarily pulled back on riding and spend that additional time focusing on the gym. I am looking forward to my next journey of a new healthier physique. My end goal is to maintain a 180lb(20 lbs increase, I am 6'2") muscular physique and get back to my passion of riding. Thanks to you all!

[@joshyounts]

I like to utilize the CrossFit methodology a couple times a week for health benefits! Never felt better in my life than when combined strength training 3-5/week and Crossfit 3-5/week! Definitely mix in the appropriate amount of hypertrophy which I think a lower volume higher intensity approach has yielded the best result for me!

[@Twobrainss]

I love being on the elliptical and watch my favorite raves (Tomorrowland) because I love dancing. It’s made it so much more fun thank you for reminding me cardio can be fun I feel like I’m heading in the right direction 😅😅 because it’s so true when life gets busy we def stop doing the things we don’t wanna do and I def use to feel that way but It’s such a great reminder to make the work outs fun 🎉

Wish I had heard this 6 months ago. I lost 40 lbs since April using tons of cardio and dieting. But now I'm a string bean with a bit of stomach fat, melted away all my muscles. So now I'm lifting and bulking to try and get my muscle back. I sure did this backwards.

[@matt27usmc]

My wife and I have this debate all the time, I got my daughter doing Maps 15 advanced with me and she and I are seeing some pretty good results so hopefully one day my wife will consider doing a round of at least maps 15 with me and just walking after listening to this one. Just a side note my wife looks amazing so it’s hard to win the argument when what she is doing is working for her 🤷🏼‍♂️

Great fuggin episode! I have been on hiatus from you guys for a while now (consumed in other life matters) and this is great refresher into your guys philosophy of training. And I’m a runner! Ran half marathons, 10ks and 5ks, but just for fun, knowing full well that it wouldn’t really help me build muscle. But just for kicks, but I still lift.

I have been lifting over a year now and not only losing fat but the ladies are paying lots more attention to me now. Looking strong and more fit. I have been eating whole foods and lifting full body three days a week but no Cardio. Now I want to add cardio to work the heart and hopefully help the high blood pressure issue I have. But I don't want to hurt the strength training. This coming March 24th I will be 60 :)

My wife finally followed me to the gym and after that I’ve been trying to convince her of this concept regarding cardio. What program would you recommend for her to focus more on strength building than cardio?

[@craigwilkinson5621]

I do 4 day split upper/lower and the other 3 days I just enjoy staying active such as walking etc sometimes on incline treadmill if I need to hit step goals etc but what I have noticed is that due to my strength training, if I do fall off my ‘diet’ it has a far less impact than it use to when I was doing such things as Insanity DVD etc! Great video!
