Sweat It Out

Dear Trainer Mark,

I hate cardio - how necessary is it to my workouts?

Dear Hater,

Please don't hate!

And please, do your cardio. Hate (haha) to break it to you, but cardio is a crucial...so suck it up and sweat it out!

Studies show that just two cardio sessions a week can improve heart health; and, fortunately, if you're like most of my readers and are looking to gain size and strength, two is all you will need. The good news doesn't stop there...

You should say farewell to your tedious 60-minute bouts of aimless wandering on the cross-trainer...ever notice how it's the people who are a slave to these stewpid machines that seem like they need the gym the most?  It's because they're approaching cardio in the wrong way.

Instead, do it right and see the results you want, in half the time:

Rock on, 

Trainer Mark
