Cardio?

[tbody66]

I think you'd be hard pressed to find a single bodybuilder who doesn't do cardio, particularly during contest prep. If the above were true, that would mean there are alot of people essentially wasting their time. Why go through all of that painstaking cardio if building more muscle is all you need to burn fat?

You may be on to something for people who are ok with being 15% plus, but nobody is getting into single digit bodyfat by lifting and diet alone.

How about this. I will say that most people on this board aren't competetive bodybuilders. I would say that almost every weight lifter I've ever known has done limited if any cardio and have seen several of them under 15 % bodyfat. I also believe that competetive bodybuilders for years have done much less cardio than you'd think. I'm not generally or generically refering to competetive bodybuilders with this advice, I'm talking to the 99.9% of people who want to look better, be healthier and keep fat off for life. I've personally been 11% at one point in time of my life and promise you I wasn't doing cardio! As for the "nobody" I'm going to just see how low I can go with no cardio.

Buff, take their advice and hit the cardio the way they say!
