Besides burning bodyfat, cardio strenghtens your heart. That pretty much sums up how important it is. I hate doing it, but usually do it at least 3 times per week. Wear headphones or get on a machine next to a hot chick. IP: Logged |

Try doing 15 minutes of cardio every other day on the treadmill at a high varience speed example: 7mph for 2 minutes, then 10mph for 2 minutes, then 7 mph for 2 minutes and so on.... High intesity for short period of time can have a better impact on your cortisol levels and will improve your bodies ability to recuoerate from weight training. I hope your not lifting every day, you should fill in the non lifting days with 20 minutes of cardio you will feel a 100X better and it's also a good way to start off your weight training to keep your heartrate up...I think it is essential most real bodybuilders will agree IP: Logged |

cardio is the most important aspect of exercize there is!!! it not only aerobic, meaning it strengthens the heart and lungs but its also anarobic, meaning its a form of resistance training! it tones the legs calves and glutes! and if you want that look like someone stuck a high powered vaccum up your ass , and sucked out all your air to give you that vaccum packed shredded look! cardio and diet is the tools! i do 45min of cardio everyday, wether its walking or running or both, some people dread cardio???? to me i look forward to it! and do it 1st thing when i get to the gym!! ------------------ IP: Logged |

Ok gentlemen a quick lesson on the importance of cardio in less than 100 words. Cardiovascular activity improves circulation. Once circulation improves the transfer of nutrients/juice/etc is also improved and made more efficient. Thusly, nutrients and more of them make it to the muscle. This all equals our primary goal, TAAADAAA MUSCULAR HYPERTROPHY. WHOOHOO  ------------------ IP: Logged |
