If you have spent any time at all in the Paleo / Primal ecosystem you have likely come across the term Chronic Cardio along with a general dislike of everything cardio. Whether it is Robb Wolf, Mark Sisson or another one of the Paleo stalwarts it would seem the dislike of cardio is well established.This is seemingly with good reason as too much cardio does not fit into the health and longevity bias that we all have in the ancestral health movement. But, this poses the question: what if you like running, swimming, biking or some other cardio heavy sport? Is it possible to enjoy your sport without negative health implications?Running yourself into an early grave?The science is pretty clear on this and pushing yourself for over an hour at a time is not doing you any favours.

Our ongoing article series comparing HIIT with cardio really got my attention. As a semi-regular gym goer (3-4 times a week) I have got myself into a very stale pattern, in terms of cardiovascular work.I usually get on the treadmill, do a short warm up, then just plod along at a steady state speed. If I am honest with myself, I never venture out of my comfort zone. I often get quite bored running  at  steady state, meaning I end up quitting before reaching an adequate exercise duration which is why I thought I should give some HIIT a bash

The Cardio MythBy Ethan BoldtIf you’ve taken up running, biking or swimming to get rid of a bulging belly, you’re hardly alone. But you may be wasting your time. If you really want to lose weight, claims Alwyn Cosgrove — a certified strength conditioning specialist who is also the co-author of The New Rules of Lifting for Abs and owner of one of Men’s Health magazine’s top 10 gyms in America, Results Fitness in Santa Clarita, Calif. — standard aerobic conditioning is simply not the most effective way to do it.All of the trainers at Results Fitness subscribe to the theory that cardio just doesn’t work that well for fat loss.

There are many different forms of workouts out there and each workout will give you a different result. Some increase muscle mass, some increase strength, others help you lose weight and so forth.Cardiovascular (cardio for short) exercises are a popular brand of exercise designed to improve endurance and stimulate fat loss. Cardio exercises can be anything from long distance running, skipping, biking or even power walking. All of these usually fall under the category of moderate intensity training because they tend to last anywhere from a half hour to more than an hour going at the same pace.“Tabata” is the name of a particular type of workout program that provides similar health benefits to that of cardio workouts, but Tabata has a bit more spice. Instead of hours upon hours or exercise, Tabata can be completed in 4 minutes.
