Is Cardio Good or Bad? | The Evidence
For far too long has the body building community been debating whether or not cardio is a good or bad thing. It's an unfortunate reality when you ponder just how many people have lost their lives due to cardiovascular complications in this community. You could chalk most of that up to performance enhancing drugs and poor diet, but I cannot help but wonder what would happen if these people had stellar cardiovascular health.
This week I'm making a strong case for why YOU and everyone else should be taking their cardio more seriously. I make the case against cardio and then I make the case to defend cardio. I'm also offering another program to you all if you're interested in adding cardio to your life but aren't sure where to start.
