Why Do YOU Hate Cardio?

cardio hatersfff Why Do YOU Hate Cardio? This blog has just ticked over its one year anniversary and a goal of mine has always been to get in touch with regular readers and fellow cardio haters once it reached a decent audience.

Now that cardio haters gets on average a few hundred hits a day and with my email list almost reaching the one thousand mark, I thought there’s no time like the present to find out a little bit more about YOU.

Grant,

Ditto for the comments above re SO BORING. I have been to many gyms who emphasize cardio over weights. “You don’t want to bulk up using weights.”

Cardio sucks for a sore knees and lower back problems.

I have been pleasantly surprised at the workout you get with using weights alone.
Keep up the good work. We need pushing. Pick me.

Cheers, Diane

Because it doesn’t make my body as lean and ripped like heavy weight lifting.

Because I don’t have hours to spend on something that will only burn calories and NOT fat.

Because I’m a full-time working, 37-year-old mom of two and wife who only has time to get into the basement and hit the weights most days, not go out for hours to run.

Because it doesn’t burn or pump my muscles like weights do.

Because prolonged cardio only does more damage than good.

And, last but not least, because it does not give you the feeling of awesomeness when you are finished like heavy weight lifting does.

Why do I hate cardio? Oh let me count the ways. But seriously, the top ones for me are that it kills my knees, it takes entirely too much time to see any results, and you don’t get cut with cardio! I am not one to get bored doing cardio, pop in a good podcast and that cuts the mental boredom for me, but my body sure does get bored with it.

Cardio doesn’t have the thrill factor. I doesn’t leave one satisfied…that sense of accomplishment from lifting.

Plain and simple cardio sucks!

After running for so many years because that’s what all the ‘gurus’ used to say “do cardio to lose fat”.

I fell into a ton of problems and injurie after injurie.

Now I either walk, do hill sprints or some finishers – similar to the one’s you have in your RWC program.

In your email you said your going to give away both programs. But on this post it says only one so which is it?

Thanks for all the info you put out there.

I hate cardio for most of the reasons listed by other people.
– It’s boring as all hell. I can do it, but most of the time I’m watching the clock and wishing it was over.
– I get shin splints.
– It puts a lot of pressure on my back due to not being able to find a sports bra that fits me but supports me.
– I prefer the satisfaction I get from lifting something heavy or pushing my muscles to new levels.
– I don’t get the same “pain” in my muscles the day after cardio that I do after weight training. I like that pain, it reminds me of the hard work I did.
– Cardio is simply not good as good for fat loss. I need to build and maintain muscle for fat loss..that’s my primary focus.

Hey Grant, been following your blog for a while now, keep up the good work mate, seems like you’re killing it.

I hate cardio due to the fact that I have severe chronic shin splints which now keep me from running 100m without pain. It is also boring as #$%@ !!!!

Cardio is boring! I’d rather poke my eyes out than do the same repetitive motion for an hour or more. I am a lift heavy, crazy-ass jump up an down kind of person but was talked into doing a charity 5k for my school. I did it with absolutely no training and no problem finishing well above people that were “runners”. You don’t need boring cardio to get the heart/lung endurance everyone seems to crave. The only thing I got out of my first ever 3 mile run is achilles tendonitis…and the satisfaction that I did it and I never have to do it again!

Hey Mate

I’m on the same track as Michael.

But since I want to win one of your programs I’m going to add that Finishers add just so much more fun and add a whole level of variety that what traditional cardio does.

Escpecially your finishers in the RWC program. (I’m not sucking up at all LOL)

Mr. Cardio Hater

I hate cardio because as a women jumping up and down for a long period of time can cause a lot of pain in the you know what area. Especially for the larger kind.

Plus cardio for me is just so damn boring!

PLEASE PICK ME I WANT THE PROGRAM!!!

Thanks

Sammy

Hey Grant,

I hate cardio because it kills my lower back and I just can’t stand doing the same motion for an hour.

The other thing that pisses me off – excuse the language – I just hate that it doesn’t produce the same results that weight training does.

I would love to win one of your programs. Aussies in Battle looks AWESOME!
