Running is boring as fuck why should I do it?

>lack of cardio was his problem
yeah it wasnt the literal decade of hardcore blasting and cruising.

My gym is 2km away and I walk there though.

>heart muscles become stronger
>heart actually becomes thicker
>resting heart rate becomes lower
>cholesterol is better carried off
>endurance is created to such a level in which you can do more reps/sets, and generally have more stamina for weight lifting

I am getting near 1/2/3/4 and I am also running twice a week (though today I feel the anguish of lack of females a bit too much and may not run)

It's fun. Just put some music on and go run. It feels great.

Whatever works for you. I'm talking about the "Cardio kills gains" people.

i need cardio, but i can't run due to bad knees.
is fast walking with high pendence good or does it leads to the same problems?

running outside will drastically age you. Between the wind smacking you in the face and the sun beating down on you, i mean. Cardio is good but best do do inside on a bike or treadmill most of the time

pic related is 22 years old btw

underrated

Because it's easy to meet women. Your local Nike store will have a casual run club. It will be 80% cardio bunnies with almost no fatties. Wear an old race shirt and ask her about the one she's wearing. It's a sperg free conversation starter.

/k/ommando here. i'm 167 and 5'9". Looking to get from skinnyfat mode and drop 20lbs. I can run 4 miles about 3 days a week, but can't over do it due to bad knees. I can't join a gym right now but are there some excercises i can do at my house to start on muscle building - like situps - pushups, etc? are these decent stand ins for a month or so, or not?

Maybe try hiking? It's been my go-to cardio activity for years and it's never had any bad effects on my joints.

listen to music or watch anime nigga

tried hanging?

if you can do them weighted and keep increasing the weight linearly
anything over 10-15 reps is dependent on endurance not strength so it's not gonna make you more muscular. as an example from running, look at how sprinters are yolked as fuck while marathon runners are basically skellies
also you obviously won't be able to build muscle and lose weight at the same time jesus christ I know you redneck fags are dumb as shit but just think about it for a second

Body Weight would only get so far, real strengh + mass + volumen is done ok the gym.

Buy some bb and platea and do the Big 4, easily you could do them ay home

>the anguish of lack of females
Kek'd, I'm gonna start using this

I do both and climbing because pic related is my goal
Sucks that I cant actually do any freerunning because eastern europe so its just commieblocks that arent climbable

you shouldn't, it can fuck you up bad, swimming is cardio master race

>DYEL skinnyfat beginner should do compound barbell movements at home

also that would cost like a year's worth of a gym membership

What's cycling r8d at for fitness? I cycle a 10 mile round trip daily for work.

You're a dumbass. Sprinters are jacked because it's an anaerobic activity. It takes 10 seconds for O2 to get from the atmosphere to muscle. Sprinters are done by then. Their performance would not be significantly different if they held their breath while they ran.

Why does this matter? There is no energetic cost to adding muscle for sprinters. More is always better. Compare to 400 m specialists. Bolt didn't run the 400 did he.

>running makes it impossible for you to lift
I can't wait for January to be over

Its quite taxing on yourself, especially if you come off video games after 10 years and no longer have this logical, gameish retreat to let your emotions get washed away by murder, planning and fun. Its like 10 years of sadness being condensed into every single day. Quite maddening I may say. Though otherwise the body is fine, enjoy my work and get mires from women. But I just dont know what to do anymore. Video games really are horrible.

>Running is boring as fuck why should I do it?
Because you're not really healthy and physically fit unless you have good cardio-vascular health and aerobic endurance. Or do you just want to be "that guy" who is only a gym rat? Stop being a lazy faggot and run.

s-source???

Hi thanks for your guys input. I want to mention i found some 5lb barbells and 3lb barbells. Would these be of any use? What would be a good starting out system of reps, keeping in mind my cardio regimen from before, and the fact i'll be trying to eat lean proten, veges, and knock out a decent amount of carbs? Yes, i'm serious. At the moment i want to lose at least 10-15lbs, but want to make a start on some basic strength/upperbody sculpting eventually. I'd like to get back to ottermode. thanks 4 halp.

Do both you lazy fuck.

Why do gymbros hate cardio that much?
>dude it kills gains!
It does if you are under eating. Cardio burns calories dumbass
>dude look at marathon vs sprint runner
Marathon goers make little to none effort to retain muscle. They don't lift and do not eat enough to sustain the non existent muscle they have. Sprinters on the other hand combine both and eat right. Morons.
>Its boring!!
If you are doing it on a treadmill while staring at a wall for 10 minutes then no shit its gonna get boring. Try running at a park or at a local mountain if theres one in your area.

>Eastern Europe
>not freerunning on whatever you can find

Disgraceful

Do both lol

At what part of eastern europe are you on? Arent there any forests? Used to go running when i was in poland the forests there are 10/10
