Find out how cardio actually affects fat loss, muscle growth, and your health in this Science-Based Presentation About Cardio Mistakes and Myths. Many people try to use cardio to burn belly fat and do as many cardio fat-burning workouts as possible. However, is this actually a good strategy? How does cardio vs strength training stack up? Learn what you never knew about cardio. Performing cardio can be very beneficial for your heart, your lungs, and your overall health. But overdoing cardio has been proven to lead to a shorter lifespan. This is just one of many counterintuitive things that many people simply don't know about cardio. So today I want to go over the 8 things that nobody tells you about cardiovascular exercise. Starting first with the simple fact that you don't burn as many calories from cardio as you think. Most people believe that you burn a lot more calories from cardio than resistance training. But according to the research, there actually isn t that much of a difference. For example, we can look at a study published in the Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research. (9) In this study, researchers compared the energy expenditure of 30 minutes of weight training, to 30 minutes of a HIIT/circuit style training workout, to 30 minutes of a steady-state cardio workout performed at 70% of the participant's maximum heart rate. As you can see in the graph in front of you, there was no significant difference in energy expenditure between weight training and steady-state cardio. (10) In other words, if you want to lose fat. from a purely caloric perspective, you would be just as well off performing a resistance training workout with a decent amount of training volume. In fact, resistance training is even better from a pure calorie-cutting perspective because another thing that no one tells you is that cardio Can Cause Constrained Energy Expenditure. This is one reason why cardio isn t that effective for weight loss and fat loss in general. Constrained energy expenditure basically points to the phenomenon that doing cardio tends to lower calorie expenditure in the hours after you're done with cardio. When most people do (aerobic) exercise, their non-exercise physical activity, also known as NEAT, tends to go down. This refers to the calories you burn through everyday activities, mostly movement that's not related to exercise. A couple examples include fidgeting, bouncing your foot up and down, and even the way you sit in your chair. The point is after burning calories through cardio, people tend to become less active throughout the rest of the day. For example, they may keep their hands and feet still instead of bouncing their feet around and fidgeting. Or, they may slouch in their chair instead of sitting in an active and straightened position. They may also be more likely to drive instead of walking. If you've ever done a heavy cardio session, you've probably noticed this yourself. A simple task like going to the kitchen to grab a glass of water requires more mental and physical effort than normal. In general, your body will make many unconscious adaptations where it'll cut back on every form of non-essential energy expenditure if you try to burn more and more calories from cardio reducing the number of calories you burn for the rest of the day which brings us right to the next point. Cardio is Not That Beneficial for Fat Loss. Now don't get me wrong. Cardio can be beneficial for many reasons, including improving heart health, endurance, and your health and well-being in general. However, if your sole goal is to lose weight, cardio is not the most effective option. This was well shown by a meta-analysis in which 14 studies were reviewed that involved over 1, 800 overweight and obese people. (11) The researchers looked at whether cardio would benefit weight loss, and when the data was in they concluded that Isolated aerobic exercise is not an effective weight loss therapy. (12) So you're probably thinking well duh. isolated cardio won't work because doing cardio alone without dieting obviously won't help you lose weight. But what if I told you that you could just diet without the cardio and still lose the same amount of weight without all that extra effort. If you don't believe me I'll link up another meta-analysis, which by the way a meta-analysis is considered the gold standard of evidence. But this other meta-analysis also found that adding cardio to a diet plan did not increase weight loss compared to just dieting without cardio. The difference was 11 kilos of weight loss versus 10. 7 kilos of weight loss. (13) So if you're doing cardio to improve your cardiovascular health or your endurance capacity you're on the right track, but if you're doing cardio to lose an extra 0. 3 kilos which is the same as a little more than half a pound I think you're wasting your time

i can agree on the concurrent effect of cardio with resistance training; i can agree on the fact that too much cardio tends to make you more tired in the rest of the day and so to limitate your neat; i completely agree with the fact that cardio is not a MUST in a weight loss program cause at the end what matters is the calorie deficit so yes it s totally fine and totally possible to lose weight with not a minute of cardio.
What i COMPLETELY DO NOT AGREE WITH is that overall there is not that much of a difference in the calorie burned in with resistance training and with cardio! that is a complete LIE! the fact that you re not burning so many calories with cardio: well it depends on much fit you are but. completely false! you can litelly burn thousand of calories with cardio if you re sufficiently fit!
there is no chance that 1 hour of running burn more or less the same calories as 1 hour of lifting: it will burn at least twice as much the calories of a resistance training if not three time as much!
if we say it s not a must and at the end what matters the most is the diet it s true and i m ok! but to say that with cardio you will not burn as much more calorie that by lifting weight NO! IT IS SIMPLY NOT TRUE!

I like to punch the punching bag and lift, sometimes. I do notice that when I do this routine I'm not getting as much out of my weight training session as I would if I just lifted weights. Although, as a women, I've also found that during times of the month, due to my cycle, I have a lot more energy that needs to be exerted than other days. I take advantage of the high energy days by doing the stated routine above.
I find it interesting that switching from one type of exercise to another isn't beneficial to my progress. It's hard to hear that my efforts are in vain. Although, I do appreciate the contributions of the mental and cardio vascular benefits that cardio provides.

Well, mostly I can agree, but. One thing needs a bit of clarification. The so call anaerobic threshold isn't when one's body starts to use carbs as fuel, but when one reaches lactate threshold. The threshold is when the lactate in the muscles simply can't be removed and starts to accumulate. Moreover, on this level of intensity, carbs and O2 are not enough in terms of energy production. Siimplifying a lot - one's respiratory system isn't capable of providing enough O2.
What you are talking about i believe is the first aerobic threshold, when carbs are starting to be the more important source of fuel than the fat.
Anyways, great video, as always! Cheers!

Within the first minute you re already misinterpreting the information to make it look like there s no difference. Obviously if your heart rate is about the same on each activity 70% it s going to burn similar calories. The problem is when you do cardio your heart rate is not the same as when you do weightlifting workouts. Not even close I m sitting on a bike as I type this and this infuriates me. People don t lift weights with a heart rate is 70% of the maximum the entire time. If you actually track how many calories people burn while lifting weights compared to say riding a bike at a moderate pace it s night and day difference. Cardio burns way more

I just believe that it's up to personal performance. because i was a decent Track Runner, and road my bike around everywhere and sometimes Work. Also ran around threw out town and to school that was down only a block away from me, and every other day I had to bring an Alto Sax to school.
I naturally became decently Strong, that I'm now one of the most determined type of person. at P. T., I think it's because I adopted this Never Quit Attitude. and my diet is decent not poor but I don't really care what I eat. nor do I care what I eat i typically run it off because i was told my heart is really healthy.

Not really related but seeing Dragon Ball in the examples got me thinking not for the first time about how I wish things worked that way in real life. Even an ordinary human can be superhuman if they train hard enough, and I don't mean superhuman in our ordinary real world sense but the Dragon Ball kick someone through a mountain sense. we'll leave out the part where everyone else still gets left behind by genetics ala Star Wars and post-midichlorian Force users. thanks to the super powered aliens and alien hybrids.

I agree and disagree cause yes you can out exercise a bad diet but high intensity doesn t automatically burn more calories and cardio does not slow down your muscle growth but it will only happen if you just rely on just cardio and diet and I do believe you should combine it with all of them like cardio, diet and weight training and cardio is not bad for fat loss but overall you re video needs a bit more improvement
reply

hey i want to lose weight and till now i was relying on cardio but as you said it is not very effective. Can you suggest any strength training that does not require any equipment cause my mom is pretty against the idea of giong ot gym. I am 18(M) i have bmi of around 29 and I eat 1500 calories daily aprox. I have been eating this amount of calories since as long as i can remember i don't have any eating disorders
reply

Plz don't listen to this DO CARDIO, not alot (30-45mins max, 3-5 days a week) to help w/your FAT/weight LOSS, it helps accelerate you to your goals. what he's talking about that you have to cut your calories ALOT to offset and your diet on top of that has to be on point to do straight resistance training w/o cardio (weights, machine, bands, etc) and not talking about all the other health benefits u missing out
reply

I've picked it up here lately where I'm running about 3-4 miles every morning (no breaks) except for one day out of the week when I take a break and now going to the gym to do various muscle groups every other day. I don't feel like I've hit too much. yet. I have been gradually enjoying jogging in the morning more and more, now feeling like I have more energy than ever before actually.
reply

NEAT is overrated. Doing low intensity steady state cardio increases the mitochondria count. Weight training makes the heart muscle thicker, whilst cardio is increasing the internal capacity of the heart muscle, thus making it capable of pumping more blood per stroke. I d say that for longevity, VO2 MAX is crucial, and it s only attainable through low intensity steady state cardio.
reply

So, my number one priority is to put on more muscle. On the other hand, running is basically therapeutic for me. I was aware of the general ideas put forth in this video. So, I guess my question is this:
I typically run 3 miles every other day at about a 8: 10 pace.
Is this okay or is this too much and having a negative impact on my strength training?

reply

I don't understand how some people can work out first thing in the morning without eating anything I would feel so dizzy and weak without eating something to give me energy, I don't do intense cardio anymore but I do walk a lot everyday, I hope simple walking can serve as good cardio, I don't drive so walking is also my only form of transportation
reply

I think people have this idea about cardio that it burns muscle when really, unless you re doing an extreme amount, you can still build it at an acceptable pace. I was running over 20 miles a week for my cross country team and still had no issue adding 5 pounds every week to the barbell. It s mostly not eating enough that s the issue, not cardio.
