I get sick of looking up info on how to lift correctly where the self proclaimed expert dismisses cardio or will say things like it's "bad for you" or "you'll never like it, so just focus on lifting." Cardio is healthy, and because you are so smart and such a great critical thinker and presenter, you got my follow permanently.

Been doing it almost daily for 2 years and managed to stay injury free due to my background in strength training - from the start, I focused on form (just like weights) and progressively overloaded with proper equipment (like gym). When you get to a point where you can run steadily for 5K+ thru your nose and still feel fresh after, it’s a great feeling. Running, especially distance running, is something that’s very human… use it if you can!

Dear Dr Mike, Something I’ve found probably hits a lot of these is the rowing machine. You can do any of the forms of intensity moderation (MIIT, HIIT, SS, etc.) on it, as you kind of can with anything. It uses most of the body, pushing mainly with quads, glutes, and hamstrings, but also makes use of the lats, biceps, and rear delts. Most gyms also have a rowing machine, and while they’re not cheap, they’re about within the same range as a treadmill. Many will also convert power/speed to assumed calories/hour which is a nice approximate. Mine has historically been at about 750cal/hour with some experience in the sport. Very much worth considering, and the technique side just streamlines each stroke taken.

Always thought rowing beats all other cardio exercises because of how much range of motion you get - knees, hips, and back can go into full flexion and extension, which I find helps a lot with opening up stiff muscles.

Elliptical is hard to beat. All the fun of stairs without the harsh knee-impact. Gets a lot done in a fairly quick time. Very scalable to current fitness level. You want variety, range of motion, etc. But elliptical is hard to beat for raw heart rate & burn. Swimming is great too. Fantastic whole body workout with low joint/back impact. You can do better, but not without modestly risky joint/spine impact. Rowing machine is good too, but can get sketchy depending on back health.

A couple more things to mention about swimming: first and foremost, its the only bodyweight activity that gets progressively harder as you lose body fat. The compressive aspect of the water; The big squeeze you feel at the bottom of the pool happens on the surface, in that way, the water acts like a whole body compression stocking and reduces bloat. It's also something you can do forwards and backwards at max roms for certain joints if you want to double dip some rehab while you're getting your cardio.

I mainly go to gym for RT, bike there for warm up. But on one day I drive to do HIIT, discovered elliptical was so easy and safe on joints . As sometimes do step, when i ramp that up , you really have to watch your feet. Now I'm fitter, I found a really good cardio HIIT workout in record time. The Ski-erg machine. I do full squats - 30 fast pull downs and squats , 1 minute rest and repeat 3 more times , all done in under 8 minutes . Hope to get up to 4*50 squats, that's a pretty good all muscle work out , if also did quite a bit of quad, hamstrings, glute workout in gym . Cycling home you can feel it . Just doing 4 sets of squats at home of 50 is probably a burn, I have the erg machine ast full resistance to work upper body

1:30 - Which form of cardio does the most for VO2Max?
@freneticfanatic3 ай бұрын

@strategicsage76943 ай бұрын
Doing the most for VO2 Max isn't about what kind of cardio you do. It's about how long you do it for, and how intensely. You can reach the proper intensity on a wide range of methods. Generally low-impact and an 80-20 split is advised; 80% of the volume low-moderate intensity 'Zone 2' for the aerobic base, 20% high intensity intervals for raising the 'peak'. Going high-intensity too often isn't sustainable due to the huge amount of fatigue.

At 40, I'm more concerned with having strong lungs and a strong heart than having a bunch of muscle. With that said, my toughest cardio routine is 10 rounds on the heavy bag with a minute of burpees(10-15) in between rounds. I still lift weights, but I'm not as strong since I shifted my focus to cardiovascular stamina. Do what is important to you.

Working on the heavy bag is incredible cardio, especially if you train like you might fight (i.e. in sharp, max effort 2-3 minute bursts).

Cardio should be thought of as strength training for the heart-perhaps measured periodically by resting beats per minute since as the heart gets stronger, it pushes blood more efficiently. Professional runners have incredible low resting bpm. In this way, I'd hope someone like Dr Mike would recommend some level of progressive overload where one mixes either duration (similar to # of reps) with difficulty (similar to increasing the weight). A walker for example can increase the distance or time walked but there are limits of that being useful, so walking hills or inclines, adding a rucksack, or increasing speed would be ways to progressively get the BPM up during the activity. Anyway, just a thought.
@ElPietroK1NG3 ай бұрын
I agree the "cardiovascular adaptations" should have been an important criteria for judging what is the best form of cardio. Aswell as the ratio of time effeciency to cardio vascular improvements. Walking takes a long time during the week, whereas HIIT can give you great health/cardio vascular results with minimal time investement for instance. As a hypertrophy youtube channel "time efficiency" should have been one of the most important factors in my opinion, most people don't have enough time to lift weights enough already, less time doing 1 hour walks means more time for lifting.

On these “best forms of cardio videos”, they never take into account that just like with weights, you can also “progressively overload” with cardio by building a better endurance base. The more fit you become, the more you can do and burn with less fatigue for same amount. When I began cycling I could barely hold 150 watts for an hour. Now that’s low intensity to me. That’s over 500 calories burned in an hour. It was fatiguing to me to burn that many but now it is not. One I can hold 300 watts for an hour, which is about 1080 calories burned. And that’s about zone 2 cardio for me, which is not very high intensity. Cycling I think is better than jogging long term because it’s less stress on the joints (knees). If you’re not someone working on improving endurance, walking is probably the best cardio as it’s less fatiguing. I am around a fairly lean 220 LBS so I’ll burn around 600 calories walking every 10000 steps. I can easily do 20,000-30,000 steps a day and it doesn’t really get in the way of lifting.

I think the first list you shared is the key. Most of us need our workouts to be as efficient as possible. But at the same time, we don't want them to be mind numbingly boring. It's totally a "different strokes for different folks" kind of thing. Whatever interests you or fits with your lifestyle is what you'll want to keep doing. And if it's effective and is yielding results, that will drive you to come back tomorrow. Like you said, it's about the context. For me, kickboxing rounds with a heavybag is efficient, enjoyable, sustainable, etc. I just use a boxing timer app and even with standard 3 minute rounds, 1 minute rest, I'm between 140-170bpm for 7 rounds (27 minutes). I guess it's a little like what you said about swimming though. If you don't already know what you're doing, it's going to take some time to learn proper technique. But man, great way to blow off steam too, haha.
