    No. Cardio AND power AND endurance AND flexibility AND agility.

      Hypertension is the number one leading cause of preventable death
      It is the long term exposure to high blood pressure (not high blood pressure at any one point in time) that accumulated to preventable death
      Either Cardio or Strength training alone both decrease chronic blood pressure by the same amount in hypertense individuals, near 10 points
      combined, they both decrease chronic blood pressure by nearly 15+ points
      >Enlightenment is realizing, just by regularly exercising for 6 months, you are already in the top 30% of fittest people in the western world

      Cardio and resistance training together make for a good maintenance routine, and flexibility is a requirement for good performance in the latter. Power training and endurance training have their specific use cases, but tend to interfere with each other - do what works for you and your goals. YMMV

        I rounded up a little too much, totally misremembered, its ~8-9 points each and then together its 13.5.
        There's a lot here and it might be easy to miss the specifics, but essentially:
        >when all people were put together, including NORMAL BP, the effects weren't super amazing; ~3-6 bp each
        >When you look only at people with >140 systolic blood pressure, the effect are super good:
        >cardio: decrease of 8.69 mmHg
        >weight lifting: decrease of 7.83 mmHg
        >cardio + weightlifting: decrease of 13.5 mmHg
        It's pretty comprehensive. Most studies before just grouped a bunch of random normal people together. This was one of the few that asked the question about people specifically with high blood pressure.

          Thanks anon, study looks good. I'm quite surprised that the effect sizes of cardio and lifting are so close. I expected cardio to be a lot better because I had this idea that it's mostly cardio that protects you against "internal" causes of mortality like insulin resistance and mostly lifting that protects you against "external" causes like breaking bones when you slip on ice. Apparently not.

    wrong. enlightened people understand there is no such thing as cardio. your heart and muscles only know exertion. your heart rate still goes up when you lift heavy for low reps.

    It should be priority one but part of doing cardio is lifting at least once a week optimally two with just a hair past maintence volume. You can hold onto a lot more lean mass that way and if opt for cardio variety you also don't have to be particularly concerned about the extra weight causing issues.

    What cardio do you recommend, anons? I heard that running is hard on the knee joints so that's out. But what should replace it?

    • 4 weeks ago
      Anonymous

      Running is probably the best but also the most expensive. What I pay for shoes a year could get 3 gym memberships. For 2 years of shoes I could have a rower or elliptical. I would say go try out diffent equipment. I didn't think I'd hate rowing until I actually tried it. Some people can't push themselves hard enough on bikes to get decent cardio. Just try everything see which two you like the most or hate the least.

        I actually don't mind the financial cost, but I've talked to several people who have serious knee problems due to lots of running on concrete or lots of hiking with heavy backpacks. I'd like to avoid that.
        So you hate rowing machines?

    I've been lifting since 3 years
    only for the last 6-7 months or so I implemented a more active lifestyle, running at least 10kms a week, walking for walkings sake, lil calisthenics and more body weight training here and there etc

    my lifts have stagnated but I look better

    Absolutely it's the only thing that matters.

    Look at the CDC major causes of death and how after 60 it's pretty much predominantly heart disease.

    People don't realize how much having a healthy heart will improve the span of your life in the long-term.

    Lifting and muscles after a certain point (probably after an FFMI of 22) probably increase cardiac strain, LVH, ejection fraction and other cardiac markers.

    The healthiest people labs-wise that I've seen in clinic have been runners and cyclers. Do they look the best physically? Probably not.

      So it would be best to only lift a bit and do a lot of cardio? I have no idea what an FFMI of 22 looks like.
