Just A Reminder

One: Walking. LOTS of walking. This is what early man and all animals in the wild do in search of food. But we no longer have to walk, so we get fat -- fatter every year. If people walked more, they'd burn more calories and they'd do it without stressing the joints or increasing oxidation with sustained heavy breathing. No one ever overtrained by walking too much.

So if you walked on a treadmill for forty five minutes three times at a 4.0, you would be walking three miles each session. Would you consider that cardio for a person who has an office job?

In some ways, vegetarians make great bodybuilders because they're already used to dissecting and controlling their diets fully.

Hmm, most veggie's I've ever known think vegetarianism means only eating Butterfingers and ice cream.

wolves and wild african dogs will JOG for hours, so the original starter of this thread is a bit mis or undereducated.

Last time I checked there weren't and weight trees or money trees, either!

What is the air speed velocity of an African swallow?

 

[Animal]

Fllying or jogging?

OHHOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!


Ostriches and roadrunners jog, too.

Wildebeasts jog for miles when migrating.

Migrating birds effectively 'jog' when flying to winter or summer lands.

Ahhh, but no species goes about putting out less then maximal effort for hours, right?

EEyep!

you might burn more, but it might not be the calories you are wanting to burn. any cardio that makes you out of breath is not burning fat. fat burning requires oxygen, anytime someone does cardio to the extent the he/she is out of breath he/she is no longer burning mostly fat, but rather glycogen. all of this is assuming that one is doing cardio to burn fat.

Okay, so say someone is doing cardio to burn fat. What kind of cardio would burn fat besides jogging? Sprinting and resting?
How does one exercise to burn fat (as opposed to glycogen) besides lifting?

Thanks-

I can see why you would say that jogging is bad,and i'm certainly not a big jogger. I also see the point to training your cv system a bit more than powerlifting as well. I imagine there are quite a few people out there with similar goals to myself. I want to find my limits and push on as much as i can. I guess it's all on what goals you set for yourself. I want the strength and the muscular endurance to use it for a short period of time when needed. I'm not sure jogging or walking would help anyone out to a great degree with those goals.

Sorry if i rambled,but it was following along with your hunter/gatherer train of thought. If you were actually training to be a hunter/gatherer(well rounded )...how would you train generally for the best strength with the endurance to pull it off when you needed it? Would you go with powerlifting and train your cardio with the specific type of cardio you would need,like boxing,grappling,sprinting,etc. ? I keep seeing images of Mark Coleman from the ultimate fighting series sucking wind after 2 or 3 minutes and wondering what your fix for that is.

Birds jog?

Okay, Ostriches jog. So if you want legs like an Ostrich, jog.

Jeff: If someone is sucking wind after 2 minutes of hard exertion, how would 20 minutes of low intensity activity help him?

No. For developing stamina for a sport, you need to do the activity of the sport. That's why (smart) boxers now train by running 3 minute sprits instead of jogging for miles, like the old timers.
