Summary
In this episode, Coach Kyle and Dr. K discuss the topic of cardio and its effectiveness. They start by defining cardio as exercise that increases heart rate and explain its goal of training the cardiovascular system. The hosts then explore the benefits of cardio, including improved mood and longevity. However, they also debunk the myth that cardio is the best way to burn fat, highlighting the hormonal effects that can make weight loss more difficult. They recommend focusing on strength training for fat loss and provide a step-by-step guide to building a health and wellness program. The hosts also emphasize the importance of considering individual factors, such as stress levels, when determining the appropriate amount of cardio. Finally, they reassure listeners that cardio is not mandatory and share personal experiences of achieving weight loss without traditional cardio exercises.
