@@Terror1Void Some runners buy minimalist/barefoot shoes then run the only way they know (which they take for granted), which is landing on the heels, then loudly complain that minimalist/barefoot is an overhyped scam, that it's actually unhealthy because it wrecks your knees, etc. You'd think that the fact that it's so knee-wrecking and heel-wrecking would make them try to land on the forefoot, which is of course what the human body is made for, but apparently the cultural conditioning towards landing on the heels is so strong that they find the notion of landing on the forefoot absurd.

[@Hexenhammer]

My philosophy is to always change it up. Adaptability is key. You need to be able to sprint (HIIT). You need to be able to run a long distance (steady state). You need to be able to lift heavy weight. And you need endurance. Train all of these things and you will find your rhythm. For instance, I train in BJJ and Muay Thai, because fighting is more than either, and definitely some of both. Hope that makes sense.

[@FffffffffffffffffffffffffffffL]

I did a couple months of BJJ and I’m about to switch to Muay Thai. I feel like if I’m ever caught in a bad situation that I’m forced to fight my way out of, jiu jitsu would be a bad idea. Boxing/Muay Thai would actually help me fend off multiple attackers

[@dantecamaiani2152]

Something i find useful for cardio (specifically heart health) is changing the intensity of the run in intervals. For example if i do a 30 min run in the morning, the first 5-10 mins are at a comfortable pace,, then I'll go as fast as I can maintain for 5 mins, then slow down, speed up, back and forth, ending with a sprint at the end. It's also great for build that mind over matter cause when you're already gassed the last thing your body wants is a 1 min sprint

I think fitness is about vitality. You need to run to get the blood pumping to your organs, your brain, and throughout your whole body. Just a guess, but I think that enables the pathways throughout your body to open up for blood to oxygenate and distribute nutrition throughout. As well, mobility is very important to. Its probably just personal opinion, but I think your body shouldn't just be a block of muscles. All the systems need to work together to create a healthy, optimal human. That means stretch, cardio, lift, and relax (mindfully). It all helps.

It has a friendly and diverse population, happy to help tourists find their way to the county famous Roy Stone, and maybe stop by Days Bakery to pick up a sandwich with a cup of Royston’s finest, home made almond coffee. I love the town from my bald head to my flip flops. Tadhg MP 2021 for Royston Hertfordshire

I'm finding jogging backwards, like on a treadmill, for 20-30 minutes or more is excellent for recovery and much what you've mentioned here.

[@tomshepard9050]

If u ever had a basic nutrition or PT course, this is one of the first things they teach you. It is so basic, I regret looking down on basic cardio in my 5 years workout.

Aside from the health benefits, running removes(d) your(my) double chin and love handles, in a way that lifting cannot.

[@WozWozEre]

BS. Fat loss comes via a caloric deficit, regardless of what exercise you undertake, if any.

[@konkyolife]

@@WozWozEre thanks, I eat very healthy and the only change to my regime has been running, double chin gone, love handles bye bye.

[@prestigedolls1296]

When I was in middle to high school I would run short distance a lot - long distance wasn't my thing- and I had bigger thighs and glutes and now ( I'm 18) that I dont run it's harder to build muscle at home with resistance bands and light weight dumbells and I have to focus so hard to even feel like I'm engaging the muscles... I'm sure my body type is mesomorph i have them broad shoulders, I eat 4-5 times a day with 20 to 25 grams of protein per meal with good amount of carbs and healthy fats too I eat a little plant based. I do include things like eggwhites meat and fish at least once a day, I eat more like beans, whole grain breads, lentils... I have a hard time gaining weight. I could gain it fast and lost it fast, my muscles look like they grow at least within two days of working out once again and then they look like they get smaller after a little while ...its disappointing I try not to give up tho, what I'm saying is can I grow my leg muscles and glutes by just running short distance and playing sports like soccer which is what I would do to Update: I've been jogging on my rest days and it has really helped my legs and glutes get bigger I'm glad I've started to incorporate some light cardio to my fitness routine

[@Gorim33]

Your diet sounds pretty good, but if you want to gain weight you should probably focus on lifting heavy/heavy-ish rather than with resistance bands/light dumbbells.

[@rickf6375]

If you wanna grow your legs heavy-ish barbell squats in the 10-15rep range work wonders. For hams I recommend glute-ham raises and for glutes hip thrusts are awesome. That said I found that high itensity hill sprints can build muscle but also develop great athleticism but they're not optimal for leg hypertrophy. But as a soccer player you don't want to have too big leg muscles anyway so I feel like you could definitely profit considerably from doing hill sprints. Only downside to them is that they're brutal which can lead to consistency issues. You'll need quite a bit of willpower to push through with these

[@MrCmon113]

If you aren't a bodybuilder I would focus on strength feats rather than size - that's less frustrating and more fun imo.

[@The_Aging_Warrior]

Great information. Question: I do a lot of fast walking interspersed with bouts of fast running uphill. Do you think that's sufficient? I was hoping to combine interval training with light steady-state cardio. I'm older and I'm leary of running for long periods of time on flat ground because of joint problems.

[@martialkintu2035]

The Bioneer What is your take on swimming?

[@TheBioneer]

Swimming is awesome. It's a form of resistance cardio that works nearly every muscle in the body. That said, the interference principle does apply a little here. I saw an interesting study that found that swimmers were worse at jumping than non-athletes. Although their muscles were strong, they were adapted for swimming, not running and jumping. Don't let that put you off though, just use it with other forms of training for the best cross-modal performance :-)

[@hollidijana7933]

As a swimmer I know for most body types, this does depend on how u want to swim wether it’s leisure so slow and not so intense or very intense and timing ur rlly feeling the burn and in ur arms and legs, when u swim very fast and going hard (sprinting) u r more likely to build muscle in ur arms, core, hamstrings and glutes as long as u eat the correct foods so like protein, good fats and carbohydrates like brown pasta. If u chose to swim like this u must eat like an athlete, so big dishes but 3 a day with healthy snacks in between! Don’t count calories macros or whatever just make sure protein is high that’s key! If u chose to swim leisurely, u r more likely to only lose fat and not gain muscle as it’s not much intensity going on u r just sweating not feeling the water pull against u or ur body.

Anecdata the strongest I've ever been over the past ~7 years of lifting was the year where I was also running a few miles every single day. My lifting and nutrition has varied over that time so it's hard to say it was just the cardio, but regardless damn did I feel good back then. I need to take cardio seriously again, thanks for the reminder!

What about sprinting for as long as you can every day

[@luisatorrescortes1749]

MaxAttax I think you can overtrain if you sprint all the days

one day high and another day of the week low intensity.

[@seasiderjay5240]

[@soulrepear117]

It's effective, I ran 2-3 miles before weight training. Makes me use more energy to workout with

[@marksystemed4678]

I started running around two weeks ago twice a week but I have to take it easy because my knees hurt. I don't really get exhausted since I do other cardio at home. And my heart beat at rest is between 58-63 BPM.

I needed this, this was exactly what i needed to hear

[@Cloppa2000]

Great advice. I always felt this was the way! People will start blowing gaskets by doing HIT all the time without any steady state..

[@tonymaccaroni1683]

So how much jogging (frequency, length of the session) would you recommand, if one's main focus is to build muscle and get stronger?

[@whatwasmychannelsnameagain2176]

Not much

[@sthapebarksdale7771]

How much is "not much"

[@simbobcrafts4843]

I've started skipping/jumping rope (uk/usa). Its very difficult to begin with but it's great cardio. You can do it inside on days with bad weather depending on how high the ceilings are

[@JosueLopez-kk9us]

is jumping rope steady state cardio?

[@simbobcrafts4843]

@@JosueLopez-kk9us I guess it is once a certain level of fitness is achieved. People can skip steadily for an hour or so. Or you could do it intensly for short intervals also. Im pretty unfit at the moment so it is always short and intense

[@dallasnoble8329]

Makes sense.. thanks

I hate running in the winter so instead of going for a thiurty minute run i usually do 30 minutes of skipping with a heavy rope. Has been working well
