Cardio is the most important part of a workout regimen and to maintain a good bill of health. You cannot get a good workout if you cannot keep your heart rate at a constant elevated level.. That is the secret to weight loss and building stamina/endurance... Weightlifting alone will not improve your heart rate.. in fact it will make your heart work harder. An hour a day, especially if your big will do wonders for your overall health.
maybe stamina/endurance but it in no way is necessary for weight loss

SMDH.... And these are the same mofos that be selling uninformed people dreams thinking that an ab roller alone will give a 400lb fat bytch a beach body..
Weightlifting does help build muscle to help burn fat better but it is counterproductive to people that are excessively overweight because.... IT ADDS WEIGHT TO AN ALREADY HEAVY BODY THEREFORE MAKING THE HEART HAVE TO WORK HARDER TO PUMP BLOOD TO THE REST OF THE BODY. THE EASIER THE HEART CAN PUMP BLOOD TO THE REST OF THE BODY, THE LONGER A PERSON CAN WORKOUT. THE FINAL RESULT IS WEIGHT LOSS THAT PUTS LESS STRESS ON THE HEART TO PUMP THE AMOUNT OF BLOOD NEEDED, WHETHER FOR A WORKOUT OR DAILY LIVING...
You should be banned from posting in the Gym forum and I hope no one ever certifies you to become a physician...

read some fitness books first before you make assumptions on how the body works

Breh you are in no position to be talking about fitness. Nothing is worse than a former fatass trying to kick knowledge.

Im not gonna inflict no more pain in this thread so Im going to bow out gracefully..
theres nothing wrong with cardio, but what in your experience would say that it would be beneficial for an obese person to do it
what is your basis?
To answer your question Yes you can throw cardio in the bushes. Should you? fukk no. In the grand scheme cardio is the most important. This will be a lengthy post because I want to explain why. Cardio is for the cardiovascular system obviously so its to strengthen your heart not to burn fat or weight loss. Your heart is your life pump that moves your blood which carries your oxygen and 99% of all the nutrients to your body. You can lift weights and get stronger with out cardio and you can still burn some fat. BUT you wont be able to life with intensity and to full potential for very long. You wont be able to do Aerobic or Anaerobic exercise ( which are for losing) very efficiently because of your lack of endurance and stamina. What ever growth in strength you achieve without cardio will increase byat least 60% because your heart is strong enough to deliver the blood. The more mass you build the more your heart has to pump. The stronger your heart, the better you can lift, the faster youll get results, the harder your erections will be as well. Strengthening your heart is good for your sex life. Ultimately you need cardio. As someone else said Interval cardio is best. Example. if you like the treadmill, fine do it jog 400 meters/ 1 lap. Stretch. get back on jog 200 meters then sprint as fast as you can for 100 meters, slow down to a walk for 100 meters, then sprint again for 100 meters, slow down to a walk for 150 meters, increase the incline to 3 out of 10 jog for 200 meters, sprint it out 100 meters, walk it out

MMsex.. I mean no disrespect so I'm sorry for lashing out at you... I'm a former athlete who has dealt with extreme fluctuations in weight for my entire life.. I have been some next to 200lbs and I've weighed over 400lbs before and now I'm on the middle on the way down again(hopefully forever this time). While I do respect your authority as a mod, I respectfully disagree with the advice you gave about cardio... Cardio is THE fundamental building block of exercise and health of THE most important organ in the human body(There is no life without the heart but you can be brain dead and still be physically alive). Weightlifting, while it is a great supplemental tool to build a body, it is less necessary than cardio.
