What's the best cardiovascular exercise? My heart is the weakest muscle in my body and I want to change that

concept 2 rowing machine

>cardio that builds your forearms and back

>concept 2
shill?

Swimming is pretty awesome, good for mixing up your cardio so it doesnt get boring. Stairmaster is pretty grueling IMO

unironically road cycling. Road cyclists have the highest VO2 maxes in the world and that has been backed by multiple studies that I am too lazy to link.

this is wrong, plenty of sports have higher vo2 maxes in elite athletes

cross-country skiiers for one

Blood doping

Sprinting.
Run a lap of whatever shit you have around.
Then keep a low pace for 2 minutes.
Then sprint like Usain for 30 secs.
Go back to low pace for 2 minutes.
Then sprint.

Do 3 sprints the first time.
Then add 1 sprint every 2 cardio workouts.
2xweek
Should be fine in a month.

>dat jawline

since this thread is here:

assuming I work out 6 days/week, is 10 minutes of cardio at the end of each workout enough cardio to put my health in decent shape? ~4.5-5% incline average speed of ~5.8-6mph

and my health I meant heart

>my health I meant heart
and by "my" I meant "by" jesus christ I truly am a retard

So youre saying just HIIT basically. I can apply it to anything, right? Swimming, elliptical, etc?

Skipping

nope.

Turns out only running like sonic burns a shit ton of calories.
Swiming is halved by your oxygen intake.
Elliptical doesnt push you as hard as moving your fat ass as fast as you can.

Because humans evolved to do sustained cardio for huge long periods of time (like elliptical, yes even with "sprints" on it).

There is no other animal on earth who can run 40k's.
Theres is no animal on earth who can out endurance a healthy man.
There is no scape for any terrestrial animal.
But human cant into speed.
Thats why it burns a shit ton of cals whenever we try to run sonic style.
Thats why sprinting is and will always be king for cardiovascular training. Thats the true limit.

HIIT

sum1 pls help

How come his abs are not visible at that low bf% despite being muscular?

I'm not saying you're wrong, but your argument is basically that "we're not designed for it, therefore we're not efficient at it and therefore it burns the most calories", but couldn't that same argument extent to swimming, or anything else humans aren't "designed" for?

what is a lion/big cat?

Big cats have speed but are shit at endurance compared to humans. Read a book, ignoramus.

loose skin

How to fix? It doesn't look like it's sagging at the bottom of his belly button.

>Swiming is halved by your oxygen intake.
This means the lack of oxygen will get you first.
Running at a sustained pace will burn a shit ton more oxygen than breath in, hold it, make bubbles and breath in again.
Olympic swimmers are limited by the number of strockes they make, olympic sprinters dont have such limitation.
Olympic swimmers rely on small muscles (delts, biceps, romboids, lats etc) for the primary force output.
Olympic sprinters rely on the biggest muscles of the body (vastus lateralis, mediales rectus femoris, hamstrings, bicep femoris etc).
So still, even if the humans aint made like dolphins, the heavy usage of the largest muscle groups will always translate to more energy consuption.
A cheta can sprint 500m in a short period of time (cant make the maths of mass*acceleration) but i do know that after that, the cat is depleted for several minutes.
It cant recover or move for some critical minutes.

A human being (wich i stated, didnt evolve to speed) can run at a moderate speed 40 kilometers.
No land animal can cover that distance in a single "push".

Is a cheaper (Like $500AUD) exercise bike decent for cardio?
I've got major surgery and want my cardiovascular system in top shape, but am too aspie to leave the house

In that case what's wrong with stairmaster, elliptical, etc?

Sounds like you candy ass fagots forgot what the human is capable of.
Fuck yo cats you candy bitch ass pussy fagot.

cus hes a fagot.
>lack of side delt
>huge chest
>bulging bicep
>not great leg development
Thats like the superior form of a curlbro.

doesnt push you as hard as sprinting.

i mean you can do it, you cant do your 10 minutes, 2 minutes slow pace 30 sec dash using a bike or a stairmaster, yes you can use them and it will yield results.
But nothing, will give you more results than a good old dash/sprint.

Come on, just think about it.
>stairmaster
>arms in a fixated position grabing the whatever is called, handlebar?
>sudden "dash"
>spine is working in the lower part
>arms aint moving therefore delts aint doing shit therefor back, chest aint moving.

Now with a track chetaah style 30 sec dash.
>biggest muscle gruop bouncing around your own bodyweight
>arms flailing around to keep balance
>spine engaged all around
>delts supporting the arms
>arms acting as counterweights creating momentum
>core activated to not twist like a frail bitch
>romboids constrainig the lats, delts and traps.
>dick flailing expecting to kill some bitches.

Is a resting heart rate of 48 Veeky Forums?

But surely his abs will at least show faintly? Especially when he looks like he at least squats/legpresses occasionally.

If you want to spend little money and combine it with leg day, get a bike and drive like 20 miles at a high speed at least once a week.
The first time your cardivascular system will not be up to the task to do it in one hour, start with a low speed and increase it slowly.
Over time your speed will increase and you´ll get gains on your legs.

Post your body
Post your fucking body right this second

ok you've sold me

Just be confident

a cheetah can only sprint for about 1 lap around a track at 70mph, after that it has to take a break so all you would need to do is jog and wait for it to putter out

>There is no other animal on earth who can run 40k's.
Wait what about horses?

:(

>sprinting is and will always be king for cardiovascular training
>not keeping your heart rate up for hours to get maximum training
>king of cardio training

he obviously isn't a jawlet, so why would he sport that pathetic excuse for a beard? just shave that shit

They can only do than in cold climates, if they try to do than in the summer, they tend to overheat and collapse.

If you get broken up with repeatedly, youll cease to feel it anymore

>advanced curlbroing
post YOUR body
For all i know theres is no mammal, reptile, bug, who can push 40 k's at a regular speed on a single push.
Horses dont even sweat, so its body overheats like crazy, kinda like what happens in this video

Cardio training isnt about keeping a steady pace.
It is like doing 225x1, then 225 x2 then 225x40, thats doesnt translate to benchpressing 500.
You can either, push a lot of blood and inhale a shi ton of oxygen for a short period of time OR can push some blood and some air for an extended period of time.
Cardiovascular is something like ss vs idk some faggy ultra marathon runner?

It is a fact that marathon fags use more blood with less preassure, while powerfagots use a lot less blood, with nearly stroke levels of blood preassure.
So still pushing blood as hard, as the biggest muscle groups need to while burning shit tons of oxygen is still KONG of cardio training.

moving quicky up an incline

>Cardio training isnt about keeping a steady pace.
*just

If you are not much into endurance, why even bother that much with cardio?

rowing is best cardio imo.

getting pegged by Ashley Greene
>how much cardio is too much cardio?

>this guy looks like shit because he trains like a curlbro
>oh yeah, post your own body for comparison
>uh, well, YOU post YOUR body

Pathetic and I'm not even the guy who told you to post your body.
