You are exercising your heart as well, right user?
This is the general to ask all your aerobic exercise questions and talk about how your cardio training is going. Are you getting ready to compete at all? What event? What distance?
Feel free to add other suggestions to the above links, would like to make this a regular general to help anons achieve a well rounded fitness repertoire.
walk is cardio too, innit? I walk 2h every other day, is it okay? cheers matey

Ye my bru clapping foot is foine. Maybe a brisker pace yeah? Cheez.
Tyler Howard
Are you kidding me, OP? You can't even get these gym rats to do high reps/low weight for a few weeks to build actual muscular endurance without them throwing a fit at the mere mention of it. Meanwhile all they want to do is babby-tier 5-rep '''sets''' then whine and complain when they stall out their progress in a few months. Get them to do actual aerobic endurance training? LOL that's hilarious.
Samuel Jackson
Better than a treadmill imo and an acceptable substitute when running outside isn't feasible. Also great if you are returning from injury because it is low impact on the lower trunk and legs.
Caleb Ross
I've been enjoying the shit out of those machines, do around 30 mins 6 days a week after weights, using the fat burn option which has like varying intensity stuff.
Grayson Torres
Will 3x30-45min/week running help strenghten my erection?
Logan Ramirez
Being lean and having a good cardio fitness base will help you have better erections yes

How are kettlebells for cardio? I need something I can do at home when the weather is bad and doesn't involve jumping as that creates too much noise and I live in an apartment
Nathan Wilson
HTFU and run outside. Or get a treadmill. >kettlebells that's not cardio
Colton Murphy
but theres snow on the pavement and ill slip. swinging kettlebells gets my heart pumping. thats cardio innit?
Can you swing a kettlebell for an hour without stopping without hurting yourself? No? Then it's not '''cardio'''.
Go to a gym and run on a goddamned treadmill and stop being a faggot about it.
John Williams
Totally is. Actual kettlebell competitions are more about stamina and endurance, they're canonically a cardio tool. They can also be heavy and give a great HIIT sort of workout that gets your muscles sore and gasses you. They might be a waste of money compared to dumbbells if you're aren't swinging them, tho.

t. lazy fatass who has never even been inside a gym in his life
Noah Barnes
No but desu I can't run or jog for an hour either because im outta shape
Dominic Sullivan
FFS just GO TO A GYM and start running/walking/running on a goddamned treadmill. This ain't rocket science.

>cardio KILLS gains People who claim that are just lazy fat fucks that don't want to run 30 minutes. Pure fatty cope.
Connor Wright
What lifting routines do you guys have to complement swimming?
Jackson Bennett
This, and I also like that you involve your upper body too
Nathan Mitchell
As long as you eat more calories to make up for the cardio, yes.
Justin Martinez
I never use the arms on the elliptical. Feels like cheating. Save them for the proper arm workout
Jace Reyes
So if you are cutting then cardio does kill your gains
Angel Jones
I think a modified push/pull/legs routine would be appropriate.
Obviously you are going to want to hit your pull exercises/lifts hard since freestyle and breaststroke are more push than pull. Definitely would stress muscle endurance over strength too i.e. lower weights and high reps.
Nathan Morales
I bizarrely find that lifting kills gains. I don't know if there is a scientific reasoning but I lose weight when I switch to lifting. Maybe something to do with training muscles that rarely get trained. Note that I am a runner/cyclist who tries to stay skelly.
David Robinson
anyone here /ropejumping/? currently working on my double under, can already do 25 double unders (about 30 secs) before tiring myself to death
Christian Flores
More like you can eat more while cutting
Camden Nguyen
jump rope is top tier and my go to warm up cardio before I go swimming or lift weights
>targets the whole body, especially core >improves coordination and body awareness >looks impressive when you get good >never ending list of variations to try >has things to work towards like triple unders, criss crosses, backwards double unders etc.
I'm already quite good at it, but find it boring to just skip for like 15 minutes, thats why I'm working on harder variations (like the double under). I can already jump with one leg for about 1 minute and criss cross (with one leg too), I feel like the double under is the last skill that I have to master.
Brody Cox
Bodyweight circuits maybe, something like: 20 pushups 10 mountain climbers 10 side star planks per side 10 shoulder touches per side 10 reach unders per side >flip over 30sec bicycle crunches 30sec toe touches 60sec reverse plank 30sec hollow hold 30sec glute bridge >stand up 30 bw or goblet squats 30 lunges Etc etc etc Maybe do it on a tabata scheme, idk, just keep your heart rate up
Zachary Wood
>regularly run along river >ground is frozen and slippery today >almost fell in the river Oh fug :DD
Am I okay lifting and swimming on the same day, or within hours (my gym is combined with a pool), or should I alternate days? Currently on "rest days" I just walk or jog 10km.
Xavier Martinez
If you do, lift first then swim. Your form will suffer if you try to lift after swimming.
I love the way my body feels after a post lift swim session desu
Ryan Peterson
Yeah first time I lifted after swimming and fucked my legs up good. Doing it the other way now.
Grayson Scott
I do legs and shoulders Tuesday and then swim, absolutely destroys me.
Owen Baker
sled pushes are based
Brandon White
Everybody that claims cardio kills gains is missing at LEAST one chromosome. For the past two years I was mostly a power and speed based athlete, with a bench max of nearly 200, and a squat max of 350, and an 11 second 100 meter dash. This year I switched to a MUCH more distance heavy regimen, averaging roughly 40 miles a week, and only did light weight high reps when I lifted, which was rare. The other day I ran 10 miles in 70 minutes. My 3 mile time got down to 17 minutes. I thought I would've lost strength, but last week I maxed for the first time in a while and still bench 190 and squat 330.
