Is running really the worst cardio, or is that just a meme?

rope is high impact

It depends, but however you look at it it's certainly lower impact than running.

Depends on your goals dude. Also, HIIT should be a part of a cardio program, not the main thing.

If you goals are to stay fat and flabby and to have chronic joint pain then running is great I guess.

Please stop posting

pushbikes up hills, go faster, feel better and get higher
also better on the joints

the fuck is power yoga?

swimming=cycling>running

Ever heard of Google faggot? I'll be nice this time and tell you to look into DDP yoga if you want the GOAT power yoga. You can torrent it from Veoble

Running burns more calories per hour than any other form of cardio, but it’s also one of the higher impact types of cardio. Running on grass or dirt can mitigate this, as can having a properly fitted pair of running shoes.

It’s also very programmable and very accessible; other than the cost of good shoes (which is admittedly not cheap) you can run anywhere in any conditions.

Running outside vs. on the treadmill is going to provide a very different mental stimulation and enjoyment, treadmill is also slightly easier because the machine is doing the pacing for you. Mechanically it’s almost the same but not quite; the better your running form the closer treadmill running is to real running, so treadmill isn’t great for most people.

Running at a moderately high intensity for a prolonged period of time does activate a lot of your body’s endogenous opioid, endocannabinoid, and other neurotransmitter systems designed to suppress pain and stress. This is uncommon for most runners to experience unless they’re marathon training. More common is feeling a flow state, aka being in the zone, usually during vo2max work or lactic threshold training.

No it doesn't.

Tl;dr running feels like sniffing your farts.

Running is great.
Treadmills are the Smith machines of cardio.
Runners high is a thing, but it's not like you expect and doesn't last very long.

Not him but it depends on intensity. Any form of cardio can burn more/less than any other form of cardio, intensity is what matters.

I valet so i pretty much get paid to run which is nice but the only issue is I have to eat a shit ton to keep my weight up now, up to 6000 calories and still losing weight

our ancestors ran on grass and dirt not road you retard and a treadmill is far superior for joints than tarmac due to the give of the machine.

Running high is the same sensation than this after good fap feel

My feet usually start hurting before my heart gives out when I'm running, though.

Our ancestors ran on rocky terrain.

>weighted rope
>lower impact than cardio
this is b8

idk what runner's high is even supposed to be. in the military i did a fuckton of it, both for work and on my own time because i grew to enjoy it. i've run quite a few half-marathons, albeit at a pretty casual pace compared to the actual runners out there, and one 20 miler. many of the half-marathons were supposed to be ruck marches (45 pound pack, carrying a rifle) and i did one in just over 2 hours and 10 minutes -- basically jogging the whole time. never once have i felt anything that approaches a runner's high. what i felt was more a sensation of just falling into the groove of finding a pace you can carry for a long time and enjoying the feeling of sustainable exertion. it feels good, but i never felt "high."

Post body

What burns calories faster, and is sustainable for longer than 60 seconds at a time?

i smoke half a pack of cigarettes a day and can run an eight minute mile no problem

running does seem like a meme

but for how long?

Since we're bragging, I used to smoke more than a pack a day and run three six minute miles. I could run eights literally all day. Running is absolutely not a meme. You can always work on running faster for longer until you've hit as far as you can go without making crazy life sacrifices and/or undergoing gene therapy.

i can do two miles without too much of a problem, after that it starts to get challenging

swimming feels way more cardio intensive for me

if you like swimming more, you can just say that. there's no need to shit on any one cardio activity somehow being "better" or "more cardio intensive" than another because that's just bullshit in all but the absolute fringe cases. running feel easy? run fucking faster and further.

My mom used to run marathons, but now her knees are destroyed so I'd rather just do HIIT work.

I'm not shitting on running sorry if it came across that way, i guess i was just expecting it to be much more challenging on account of my smoking (only started exercising again recently)

>Since we're bragging, I used to smoke more than a pack a day and run three six minute miles
das pretty good mane

>but it depends on intensity
Exactly, however if you compare each cardio type the impact on your joints per calorie burned will be much lower with anything that's not running.

Where did I mention a weighted rope faggot? Even if the rope was weighted the wear on your shoulders will be lower than what running does to your ankles/knees/hips.

So are you implying that running the fastest you can (thus burning calories as fast as you can) is sustainable for more than 60 seconds?

Didn't imply you had to sprint to burn calories the fastest you dingus. 100 kcal/mile doing steady state is pretty fucking efficient. No need to maliciously shitpost this hard.

Empty spin room is the patrician choice for cardio

Imagine not running. its one of the most basic human movement patterns. you're cucking yourself hard if you don't do it and do it often.

Where the fuck are your ancestors from? Mine all ran on grass and bog

Running is king.
The only exercise where you can push your heart and cardiovascular system to the absolute max before having to stop.
Unless your body is shit and your legs give out first which should never happen for a normal human.

running is great plus its great for picking up chicks not that I'd know

Ten try a 7:00 pace....

Running is amazing I regret falling for the cardio kills your gains meme. When running you can feel like you have physically reached your limit but it's almost always possible to power through and there's no better feeling

>100 kcal/mile doing steady state is pretty fucking efficient
You can achieve the same effect without trashing your knees.

I'm shitposting because I don't like people who run, they remind me of vegans.

I've got to be honest, running fucked up my knees but only for my bad form lifts.
like, before I could do bad form squats sometimes if I was tired or lazy but now I have to do them *perfect* otherwise my knees will scream bloody murder
but as long as I do my knees are fine.
It's kind of a good thing I guess?

Mfw way too heavy to run and improve cardio
288lbs 6ft5

just take it slow fella, real slow if you need to.
time running is what's important, speed comes later.
