I am a 21 year old college student who is also working construction. When I'm at work I listen to this podcast and endlessly expand my knowledge on health and fitness everyday. I love lifting wieghts and this program would accelerate my summer cut. I appreciate everything you guys do thankyou 🙏
@@ty6512 Well I I'm keeping my protein high at 1 gram per pound and reducing carbs from 300-400 grams to 100-150 grams. I've always found home cooked meals are difficult to track exactly without weighing everything.
I was at the gym and saw a girl doing military presses with solid form. I started talking with her and found out that she was also doing MAPS Anabolic. I chatted her up and got her number. I am taking her out for a hike in a park this Friday evening. Hopefully I get to know her better over this "cardio session." You guys are the unsung heroes of wingmen. Thanks for everything you do
I literally fist pumped when you mentioned the body types of sprinters vs long distance runners because I've been using that exact example for YEARS with non-stop cardio friends. It speaks for itself! I'll also ask my female friends a similar question: what is the average body type of women in the weights section, and women on the treadmills? (applies to men too of course, but the bad marketing hits women extra hard) The science backs all of this as well, of course, but sometimes the visual is what actually convinces people.
I wanted to get fit in 2017 -I fell for the hype that intense cardio would shift the excess weight ( I was 12 stone at the time and I’m five five ) and change my body shape. It resulted in me signing up for numerous Spin classes every week with Body Attack classes on a Saturday. I was burning thousands of calories weekly but guess what no real change to my body shape! Lost a bit of weight but remained heavy. My son started training for a body building comp and I went to the gym! I had done a few Body pump classes and loved it but in the gym I changed my training completely. Cut out the spin classes and focussed solely on the weights , with my cardio being my daily dog walks and skipping with ropes every other day. I now train fasted in the morning with weights four - five days a week and go as heavy as I can whilst maintaining good form. My body shape has completely changed and I’m now fit and healthy at 58 years of age. My body weight is now 9 stone 6 and I have an aesthetic which I love. Monday , Wednesday and Friday morning are still Spin days at our centre and when I’m in the gym I can see many of the same people going in and out of the cardio classes that went in and out in 2017! Most of them - in fact almost all have not changed their body shape one bit! I feel like shouting ‘Hey guys wake up and smell the coffee’ That’s not the way to change your body shape and build lean muscle, which in turn changes your body! But I just stay quiet and remain so grateful that I realised that resistance training, eating healthy and stretching , with a little bit of weekly cardio was the secret key! The Mind pump guys speak so much sense!
I work as a medical assistant for a neurology clinic full-time, while also back in school full-time. I got in a car accident and haven’t been able to train in a couple months. I’m finally needing this for my mental and physical health!! This would help me get back into hiking/climbing 14ers this summer! 🙏🏼
Winner! Please email ann@mindpumpmedia.com with this episode number, a screenshot of your youtube profile, and the email you would like the program to go to!
So happy there's finally an episode for cardio people. Since i found you guys a few months ago, I've been dreading my two full marathons coming up at the end of the year because at this point in my life, I really want to focus more on muscle building and move away from the cardio world. Now there's a light at the end of the tunnel. I'll get through this. Thanks
I actually started just adding 2 days of cardio but just running 10 to 15 mins top and 3 days of strength training to keep as much muscle as possible and to attain some endurance and stamina. I'm at 5'11 197 lbs and thinking of dropping to 190 by losing must of it fat. Thank you for this episode it really helps and provides a great guide.
I weight train 5 days a week and walk at least 4 miles every day. I do the walk for the enjoyment of it, not the cardio but I know that my heart and joints are benefitting from it. Thanks for another great show as always you guys are a wealth of knowledge.
Been listening to this podcast for a min now, doing a recomp and enjoying without doing too much cardio. This podcast is reaching beyond the American continent. We blessed here in Africa to have guys like u give out such knowledge for free actually. Keep pumping Mind Pump. 💪💪
Being obese and sendentary for more than a decade now too afraid to start exercising for fear of hurting my knees at 50 years old. Finally last month I pushed myself to do a 30-minute moderate intensity low impact cardio almost daily with no diet change but after a month I was very disappointed to see no weight loss but gaining 2kg instead. Would love to start incorporating weight training to my routine but seems intimidating to learn all the right techniques and correct forms. Hope to learn a lot by subscribing to your channel!
Consider a dip/chin tower with a way to position yourself at the top position of each - a box, a chair, or whatever. Use your legs to adjust how much resistance your arms are fighting. This will give you the full push/pull/legs workout while helping you practice perfect form and work towards unassisted dips and chins (however impossible that might seem). Eventually, throw in some walking for the overall health benefits. Last, cut out all of the vegetable (seed) oil intake in your diet and substitute with animal fats, and greatly reduce sugar/processed carbs. Essentially, more meat, less plants. And seriously - best of luck from a total random stranger on the Internet.
I am retired and 59 years old. I am 25 pounds overweight and I am determined to get in shape by my 60th birthday in November. I use to be a cardio junkie but you guys have convinced me to focus more on strength training. Thanks
I am a 43 year old Law Enforcement officer. Came across your Chanel on You Tube then started listen to the podcast when Joe D. Recommended you all on his podcast. I listen to you all at work and while doing yard work. My job can be demanding. Some days consist of walking through rough terrain anywhere from a couple of miles up to 8 on some days. Jumping fences, walking through and crawling under heavy brush, to full on sprints in a snap of a finger. Going hands on with subjects. Other days we can spend most of the day in a vehicle driving around. I’m currently doing Joe Ds. Rebuilt 2.0 and getting great results. Want to try one of your programs when I’m done. Looking a program where I can improve strength, mobility and stamina. Would like your recommendation. My current set up is a home gym with a squat rack and 160lb bumper set. Dumbbells up to 35, Slowly adding more. Bands, battle rope, treadmill and a row machine. Would love to hear your feedback. Would also like to add I work the night shift and on a good day get 6 hours of sleep.
Cardio, I’m glad you finally addressed it because people always misunderstood your statements. You’ve never said don’t do cardio but always don’t over do cardio!! On another note this would be a great birthday gift for me !!!
The only problem with running is the leg fatigue when training the next day, huge problem with squats but running for only twice a week has worked well for me
I appreciate all you guys do. This podcast and your MAPS programs have literally changed my life; everything from my fitness, confidence and health have been dialed in since finding you guys.
I've never liked normal cardio, I've just used martial arts as my cardio since I was about 10 years old and I've never had issues running or anything when I needed or wanted to. Good content guys!
Good evening gentlemen! I’m a cop in Texas and I’m trying to get my cardio up so join the State Police. This program would greatly benefit me and help me achieve a lifelong goal. Appreciate the content, keep it up!
Looks like someone else won the giveaway, but did you start the program anyway? Because seriously, that’s one helluva goal you’ve set. Good luck with your impressive plan, and remember - don’t let your dreams be dreams!
Hey guys, I’m 28 years old and giving competitive brazilian jiu jitsu another push, been using your channel to learn and improve. This program is right up my alley! Thanks
As an athlete playing both football and hitting the gym regulalry, I always struggled to keep my muscle mass and definition. Truth is, it can be so disheartening at times, that no matter how much you lift, playing sports can "backfire" on you sometimes. You guys really hit the nail in the head with this program. I'm very excited for it!!😊
Honestly, I think you guys have an intelligent and balanced view of cardio and strength training. Since I started listening to the show about 3 years ago, you have definitely shifted my views on the whole “cardio vs strength training” debate, and my training, body, and mindet have improved so much! 🙏 💜💪🤗
I'm 39, coaching for years and still learning a lot from you guys! Thank You for all the information you give for FREE! It is more valuable than many paid stuff out there! 👏🏼
I'm a 62 year old woman, pretty lean and fit, and although I've always incorporated body weight exercises in my movement routine, I'm now inspired to start a more structured weight training program. As a life-long runner, I hate the idea of giving up running for muscle. However, having gone through some significant health issues, I know really need to focus on weight training, as it better suits my current limitations, and even dream about doing some body building competitions! I just recently found your TH-cam channel and have been binge watching it and loving it! Will be checking out some of your strength programs. When this episode popped up in my feed, I was very excited to learn from your wisdom on this. Thank you for all you do, all of you are wonderful!
I’m a new trainer. Before this, I spent years as a fitness leader for various commands (USNavy). Following you guys has helped me see how I can enhance my command’s fitness program, how I can help my clients & myself! I’ve been watching you guys longer than I’ve been training & I’m confident in my programming with you all by my side. This MAPS Cardio-Done-Right program is going to change the game for us - especially in the military. Thanks guys!
The World record for calories burned an hour is 1511 by Clydesdale (200 lbs 2h 36min marathon). As of today, I am 161 lbs at 1398 cal per hour, was 1450 when I was younger (174 lbs 2h 20min marathon). If you eat carbs you will run out of energy in the bloodstream and your body will start attacking mucsle protein due to not having enough fat reserve or not having enough oxygen in the body to do so. As a carnivore diet runner, your body never runs out of fat used to add energy to the bloodstream so you never start to break down muscle protein for energy. This is why we eat 1-2 lbs of beef a day giving us 88-176 grams of protein not counting the other 8-12 eggs, fish, etc we also eat. People see the 115 lbs runner and think ALL RUNNERS are like this and think we are ALL Skinny and unhealthy, and before you say the fastest runners are skinny I was only 4 min below the Olympic qualification speed while I was in the Air Force. Ask yourself this how could someone lose muscle while eating 200-300 grams of protein a day? the answer is they can't or it would be damn near impossible. lol
I went from construction for 4 years, I have lifted on and off my entire adult life. I’m really grateful for you guys and all of the knowledge you’ve given out, it’s inspired me and truly helped me stay on the path no matter how many times I’ve given up. I currently am trying to reduce my body fat percentage because a couple months ago I would have said I was probably 50 lbs over weight. Half way through maps performance now. Maps cardio will be my next program! Appreciate all the work you guys do, love the studio by the way!
I've never been a fan of pure cardio. HIIT and Circut training has always been more fulfilling. Along with my weight trading..I do circut training for 45 mins to an hour 3 days a week and incorporate weights during the circut. It's almost similar to crossfit but not as intense and I also add weighted kickboxing once per week.I lost a ton of weight before and gained it all back because I didn't really have the knowledge that I have now. Now I'm back on track, losing fat while gaining muscle and I feel much more energetic during my deficit. I like how the more I learn about fitness on my journey, you guys always HIIT on things that are already going through my mind, things that I am questioning.
Yaaas 🔥, literally the program and conversation I've been waiting for. As a high level rugby playing child I went through a rough period from 18 to 32 losing loved ones and ballooned to 450lbs. Over the last 5 years I've built some lean muscle and lost 300lbs and want to get back into playing at a different position. This the dream thankyou so much you guys are the greatest, never stop doing what you do ❤️.
Hi all 👋 I’ve been listening to the podcast since the pandemic hit. Thank god I found you guys at that point! I’m a health coach & personal trainer that took several certification to get where I am, but your information is real & comprehensible. Who else is talking about blood sugar, hormones, how to build the metabolism like this?!? No one.. one stop shop for everything mind, body & fitness. 💪💛
25:40 gonna give a shout out to tennis as well. It's got the interval type cardio. You play a point max effort for few seconds. Then rest for 20-30 seconds and start the next point.
I have been listening to your podcast for a couple months now and I look forward to learning from each one! The knowledge that you guys give out is amazing, but I always love it when you guys start talking about your families and what's going on in your real lives too. The way you guys answer questions and help people out with real answers and not "fake influencer buy my product crap" is something truly special. You guys are different and it's really easy to see :) Keep killn' it !
In 2010, I began to lose weight from 200 lbs (my max at the time). I swam mostly, and got great at it. I dropped down to and hovered around 155-160 lbs. March 2020, gyms in CA closed down. I had some strength-training knowledge to get by, but not much. Having no equipment for home workouts, I decided to lose weight by running. I did what your channel says you shouldn't- I was running 20-40 miles a week while keeping daily caloric intake at 1200-1400. I dropped to 127 lbs a year later. Mm body got rid of all the muscle, and thought it was a good look. Then came the dreaded Thanksgiving gatherings, and I fell in love with food again. Listening to your channel has allowed me to embrace that part, while hitting the weights consistently. I was lucky enough to have access to weights for home workouts, and started building up again. All this while I was able to enjoy my favorite treats and not torturing myself at 1200 calories...yuck. I'm up to 144 and fitting the size S clothing from my 127 lb days while implementing the knowledge I soak in from your videos (and ancillary content). The Resistance Training Revolution is here boys.
I’ve given up multiple times to get into better shape because I can never find what works for me listening to the podcast has helped me lay down my focus on finding what’s gonna work for me over trying what works for most others. Keep these shows coming!
I love you guy's..I was always the person that never did cardio..My main focus is where compound lifts recently I've been lifting lighter with cardio feeling more energy im a 41 year old man with years of lifting experience this is working for me in my life to be honest ..my total weight is down from 1355..I started having mobility issues.
most informative podcast that literally can save your life!!! went from and unhealthy obese lifestyle and instead of jumping into the endless cardio n crossfit class style programs i started with maps anabolic and ive turned my health around and im losing weight the healthy way and gaining muscle and strength!! maps cardio would be an awesome tool to add to the arsenal!!!
Thank you all for elaborating effectively on HIIT cardio and why it recruits more muscle preservation compared to other more steady-state forms of cardio. I really enjoy incorporating HIIT training, especially when it comes to plyometric training and martial arts. Those burn great and when combined with strength training, it makes it easier to give them more power and speed!
Cardio is a huge issue for me, I lift fb 3xweek and VR cardio 2x week avg bm watch says 135bpm-145bpm but any other cardio I honestly feel like I am dying and JUST CAN NOT BREATHE at least not properly or maybe VO2 issues, I feel this program wold not only teach me so much but show me how to continue to progress. Thank you for considering me for your give away.
I really appreciate everything you guys do to educate us. Your podcasts are so informative and interesting and make so much sense! The best podcast on U tube without a doubt! Thanks guys
I'm just a stay at home dad of three that wants to be strong and have good endurance. this program seems perfect. This podcast has been a game changer since finding it. I'm 160 pounds and love running.since finding this podcast I've gained muscle, gotten stronger and I'm able to run harder and further. Can't wait to eventually purchase one of the programs
Mid-30s started trying to be more active in mid 2020. Started intermittent fasting. Lost 100 pounds. Still a bit more to lose but now trying to add some muscle so have been looking more at y'all's stuff. Also started jiu jitsu and Muay Thai so trying to find the right balance of strength training and cardio outside classes when I have a very sedentary day job.
Loving the setup with the wide shots of all three you guys. The intro ad was super tasteful and feels right when we get almost an hour of great advice for free. TEAM DOUG
This is where the best and most accurate information can be found. Im fat and Im going hard for the next year and do my absolute best to change my body. Im going to build as much muscle as possible and lose as much fat as possible. Wanna follow my journey?
Hi guys since I started listening to you guys on Spotify 2 months ago I’ve hit episode 400: Keto, Intermittent Fasting & adrenaline fatigue (as of today and going strong!!!) I’ve gone from 235.4 to 159.6, after intermittent fasting I finally took the leap and did the 7 day fast finally! Since then I have brought myself back up to 194.7 eating clean and healthy my weight is going up, I’m able to eat more, and the greatest part of it all is that my muscle mass is finally coming in the way it’s supposed to after fixing my lifting posture and working out 3 to 5 days a week but I’ve been doing a full body Monday,Wednesday,Friday (sometimes Saturday and Sunday) Just trying to get everything dialed in. I’ve been listening all of your programs bundles and I couldn’t get in on it since those episodes are from 2017 or 2018 (so far, still catching up) this bundle came out at the perfect time! MindPump Mafia for life!!!
need this program -- as a dancer (need both strength and endurance aka overall athleticism) this is literally THE thing I've been struggling the most with when programming and choosing the right goals for myself
I think cardio is an amazing tool for fat loss. I think you only risk muscle loss if you are losing weight too fast, or if you cut calories too much along with doing a ton of cardio. But if you start off your cut with just adding cardio, and keeping your calories where they were before you started your cut, you will lose fat without losing muscle as long as you're not losing more than 1% bodyweight per week (if you're at an average body fat percentage). I'm cutting weight right now eating calories that is close to my maintenance from before I started my cut (around 2400 calories), and I'm losing weight and my strength has actually gone up slightly in 4 weeks. I think that's because I'm eating more and burning more. The additional food is providing additional nutrients to my body and is allowing me to slightly build muscle while losing fat. Also, I'm doing LISS cardio like the elliptical or incline walking, which is easy to recover from and doesn't damage my muscles too much while allowing me to burn a lot of calories. This is also key to me building strength, I'm not overtraining my body with doing a bunch of high intensity cardio or high impact cardio (like running).
Great information. Im in kickboxing for 2 years now and i lost about 60 pounds. Now im starting to do some weight to gain more muscle because im not losing any weight no more. Thank you lads.
As someone who wants to be versatile and ready for anything, cardio is kind of essential. This includes being a faux-athlete who can be thrown into almost any sport and perform well. OR play with his kids for an extended amount of time or perform certain tasks for an extended amount of time. It's not for everyone, but I'm definitely someone who appreciates the benefits.
I’m a 50+trainer who overtrained during quarantine that resulted in minor tears, increased knee pain, disc bulges. I’ve learned a lot from you guys and would love to see if MAPS could get me back to my prior strength! No one wants to be trained by a chubby trainer!
Finally a program for the cardio folks to still be able to build muscle and not lose gains! My love is in long distance running and MMA/Muay Thai training and it's hard juggling the love of that plus strength training, which I know is important. Finally both a talk and program revolving around those of us who do cardio not just for the "weight loss" aspect, but the love of the sport!
As a teenager I used cardio to pretty much punish myself. My mindset was that I needed to push myself as hard as possible in order to "deserve" to eat. Not sure where I got that from, but I'm glad I've wisen up since. Fast forward to college, I discovered the kettlebells first, then barbells and I had a ton of fun doing that, but unfortunatelly had to stop every time they closed the gyms due to a certain pandemic. Then in January of this year, after struggling with back spasms for a few months, I finally got to go to the gym again and for the first time in my life started on a program (the starting strength 5x5). It was awesome (and my back pain was cured), I've never been stronger in my whole life than after a few weeks of structured barbell training, but soon I started noticing one problem - I had a hard time finishing my sets of squats, not due to lack of strength, but because I felt out of breath. I was about to leave for 2 month thogh, so I let that go and told myself that when I get back and start lifting again, I will do 1 day of "cardio" a week - I started 2 weeks ago, with some (very easy) running, sled pushing, kettlebell swinging and having fun trying out all the different types of cardio equipment my gym has that I have never used until now :D It's obviously a little too early to see any results, but I like it so far and I feel it breaks up the (sometimes mundane) routine of SBD. Anyways, that's my 5 cents. Enjoyed listening to your podcast with my lunch as always ;)
You guys are the best. I was just trying to mix and match elements from different MAPS programs to improve my conditioning and then, voilà, you guys come out with MAPS Cardio!
I’ve been struggling with building lean body mass because of this very reason…I implemented your strategies and scaled it back and follow a Push Pull Leg split hitting body parts twice a week but I also love riding bike every day and burn a additional 900 calories. With this new info and strategy I will hopefully succeed to my next goal…thank you for all the great content you’ll been producing. 🇨🇦🍻👏👏
What people tend to do wrong in regards to longer bouts of cardio is that they push harder than they should and go beyond what's called Zone 2 cardio. Zone 2 cardio has been shown to have amazing mitochondrial benefits. Mitochondria dysfunction is linked to metabolic disorders such as alzheimer's, cancer, and diabetes. The goal of Zone 2 training is not to build up lactate, which will start to burn glycogen stores for energy instead of fat stores. There will be some lactate build up, but this is just on the edge in regards to fat oxidation and glycolysis. Another mistake people will make with this type of cardio is reducing calories and not figuring in the cardio as a form of energy deficit, so instead of being at a modest 300-500 calorie deficit, they are at a 800-1000 calorie deficit which will induce adaptations to prevent starvation, and obviously this is compounded with pushing into harder anaerobic zones for long periods of time. Most athletes spend 80% of their training in this zone to improve their athletic performance even at higher anaerobic efforts since this type of training improves lactate utilization through a protein called MCT-1. The only downsides to this type of training is the fact that you need to do it on a machine that has a way to keep the effort at a steady pace, and you need to do it for at least 45 minutes to reap the most benefits. Running hiking and biking are going to have periods of too little and too much effort to take full advantage of zone 2 training, unless you utilize stationary bikes or treadmills or stair climbers.
O my god this program is what the world (of endurance athletes who want to look good and still do their sport so not a really big world) needed! Thanks so much guys, I have been waiting for this for so long.
Previously have run RGB, and just finished up MAPS Symmetry and let me tell you - wow! Symmetry programming is insane. Admittedly, I was skeptical about the isometrics and unilateral but after running it, it totally makes sense. I'm sure MAPS Cardio will do the same!
Excellent show. So true about fueling. The body is always looking for the easiest fuel source. Depending on intestity it wil burn fats at lower plus some carbs at higher it will reverse to mainly carbs. The one fuel source you want to avoid is muscle at all costs. The way to do that is eat during exercise. The rule of thumb is 1g of carbs to 1kg of body weight. The days of doing endurance exercise with no fueling is long gone. Excellent show and talk on how to do it properly. On the bike there is a rule do not diet on the bike fuel the ride
I could physically cry I am SO excited about this! As someone who has listened/watched you guys for years, I trust and take to heart EVERYTHING you say. I’ve dealt with a lot of mental health issues for the last 10 years, and running is the only thing has truly made an impact on working through that. I always struggle with wanting to stop running based off of your recommendations to limit cardio (to an extent), so this program/episode is exactly what I need! I often listen to your episodes more than once, and this one will be on repeat all week for me! Thanks guys!! 🥲❤️
I would love this program!! I’m currently running MAPS Performance in my running off season. I would love this program to help lead into training for another half marathon. Mind Pump has helped me get back into weight lifting over the past couple years but I’ve wanted to also still pursue running off and on.
This is the perfect episode for me, MAPS Anabolic has been phenomenal, but with my ADHD and sports background i needed to hear that cardio is not only ok, but can also be used to keep fit. I was always a cardio guy until i saw the light (because of this show) and lifted weights to get fit. I am no longer skinny, with a gut. I'm a strong fit looking person now. Thanks Mind Pump
You guys have changed my perspective of the fitness industry drastically. As a new trainer, I had a lot of areas I didn't realize I needed to grow in. You guys are helping me so much; I'm always excited to listen in on your episodes and continue my learning journey. Thank you for all the amazing work your team does!
I'm SOOOOO EXCITED for this new MAPS plan. This is what I have been waiting for ❣️ ever since having my baby boy I've struggled with my weight and finding an effective exercise plan and be athletic as I was prebaby. Thanm you sooo much for your podcasts video , they give me sooooo much confidence to adapt exercise to my new life ❣️
I always want to be in physical condition to do whatever activity with my kids and/or grandkids. If they want to go backpacking, run a 1/2 marathon, bodybuilding competition, hike the Grand Canyon, or an OCR, I want to be able to do it with them. I related to sal’s story about running the 1/2 with his wife. Adaptation makes me super human
This is exactly the program I've been wanting and needing lately. I'm quite adept and easy pace running and have no problem heading out for 5,10, 15 miles. But still I've found myself huffing and puffing chasing the dog and kids around, and it's been frustrating. This is a very exciting program! Itching to get my hands on it!
This episode really covered all the things i feel that you overlook when you talk about cardio. Can't forget about the health benefits of going out into the world and doing something that you enjoy. For those of us that work manual labor jobs, stamina and endurance make a world of difference in the quality our daily lives. Give me maps cardio now please
Twice in my life I have used cardio to lose weight. I couldn’t understand how I could lose 60+ lbs and still look flabby. Now that I’ve learned so much from MP, I now understand I shed muscle and fat when running and under consuming calories. So happy I’ve learned how to do it correctly. Now I’m the strongest and leanest I’ve ever been in my life. Pulled off a recomp in 4 months with everything I’ve learned from this show.
As a former basketball player, this makes a lot of sense to me! Now that I’m not playing I tried lifting with cardio as my base but I was never successful in reaching my goals. This episode is game changing for my programming!
Used to do intervals (20 minutes) with running and rowing machines but knee injuries stopped that. Now strength training and going sauna and my heart is knackered. It'll be nice to have some running in my life though.
Thanks for the info over the years. I'm expanding my home gym to get ready to start MAPS Anabolic. I am sooooo excited to get started. After working with free weights, and dipping my toe in the deep waters of fitness, I am ready for a new challenge. Here we go!!!
Super excited about the new program! Literally just sent in a question last week to you guys asking about how I could balance endurance cardio while still prioritizing strength training. Question has been answered!!
It’s tough trying to balance triathlon training w out losing progress I’ve made w strength. 2-4 full body days have been super beneficial though. Thanks again!!
I’m a former D1 cross country and track athlete turned gym rat. I’m enjoying this process of building muscle but I still love to run. Thank you for this video!
I am excited to try the new program! I currently have four of your programs and have been wanting to add more cardio back to my routine besides walking. I have a five year old and a newborn and need more cardio to keep active at the playground, riding bikes, and youth sports.
I love to lift heavy weights and break my own limits every workout I do but also I like having fun playing sports specially soccer and bicycle in a very competitive mindset. For me everything is about balance and having fun in every process, your body will react and adapt to every thing you do physically but at the end just do what you enjoy , you can take the best of both worlds and make results in both ways.
I started my weightless journey recently doing mainly cardio because I've got alot to lose but looking to incorporate some weights too and curious on what the best balance would be. Found this episode really helpful, thank you!
This MAPS Cardio program is EXACTLY WHAT MY HUSBAND NEEDS! He was a varsity team captain cross country athlete who switched over to resistance training (thanks to me introducing him to Mind Pump 😜). However, he still misses going on long runs but is afraid he’ll lose his muscle definition that he has built thanks to MAPS Anaerobic (GREAT program btw 🙌🏼👉🏼💪🏼) Thanks Mindpump for making this and all the great content that you put out. Keep up the amazing work!!! #MindpumpthleteForLife🤘🏼
Cardio is awesome for burning off the once a week cheat meal it’s the best for me , do it when yii want just balance with strength training life is balance.
Thank you for constantly giving away information for free to help people get better at weight lifting and live healthier lives. You are my go to for any question I have about fitness! This new program looks great and I want to get it so that I can get out and hike more on my off days!
I think this might be the program that's says my life. I'm trying lower my blood pressure, weight, cholesterol. I've always been strong and fast but never had the endurance to workout at an intense level and I've always failed a building that endurance.
I have a history of over training because i mix a lot of sport type cardio (boxing/judo/HIIT sprints etc.) and resistance training, trying not to lose muscle mass or over train while mantaining some sort of cardiovascular conditioning.
i am 26 years old looking to lose 50lbs! i do currently train 3-4 times a week but i don't feel like i am seeing results from my current training program, i would just like some advice on what i should do next regarding my diet and training 🥴 thank you guys so much i really appreciate all the information you've given us!!
I am a 21 year old college student who is also working construction. When I'm at work I listen to this podcast and endlessly expand my knowledge on health and fitness everyday. I love lifting wieghts and this program would accelerate my summer cut. I appreciate everything you guys do thankyou 🙏
How many calories you cutting on doing construction. I’m 21 college doing construction in summer and feelin depleated on 3200-3500 cal
@@ty6512 Well I I'm keeping my protein high at 1 gram per pound and reducing carbs from 300-400 grams to 100-150 grams. I've always found home cooked meals are difficult to track exactly without weighing everything.

I was at the gym and saw a girl doing military presses with solid form. I started talking with her and found out that she was also doing MAPS Anabolic. I chatted her up and got her number. I am taking her out for a hike in a park this Friday evening. Hopefully I get to know her better over this "cardio session." You guys are the unsung heroes of wingmen. Thanks for everything you do
Love this!
I literally fist pumped when you mentioned the body types of sprinters vs long distance runners because I've been using that exact example for YEARS with non-stop cardio friends. It speaks for itself!
I'll also ask my female friends a similar question: what is the average body type of women in the weights section, and women on the treadmills? (applies to men too of course, but the bad marketing hits women extra hard)
The science backs all of this as well, of course, but sometimes the visual is what actually convinces people.
25:10 is the marker that you're talking about. 👍🏾
I wanted to get fit in 2017 -I fell for the hype that intense cardio would shift the excess weight ( I was 12 stone at the time and I’m five five ) and change my body shape. It resulted in me signing up for numerous Spin classes every week with Body Attack classes on a Saturday. I was burning thousands of calories weekly but guess what no real change to my body shape! Lost a bit of weight but remained heavy. My son started training for a body building comp and I went to the gym! I had done a few Body pump classes and loved it but in the gym I changed my training completely. Cut out the spin classes and focussed solely on the weights , with my cardio being my daily dog walks and skipping with ropes every other day. I now train fasted in the morning with weights four - five days a week and go as heavy as I can whilst maintaining good form. My body shape has completely changed and I’m now fit and healthy at 58 years of age. My body weight is now 9 stone 6 and I have an aesthetic which I love. Monday , Wednesday and Friday morning are still Spin days at our centre and when I’m in the gym I can see many of the same people going in and out of the cardio classes that went in and out in 2017! Most of them - in fact almost all have not changed their body shape one bit! I feel like shouting ‘Hey guys wake up and smell the coffee’ That’s not the way to change your body shape and build lean muscle, which in turn changes your body! But I just stay quiet and remain so grateful that I realised that resistance training, eating healthy and stretching , with a little bit of weekly cardio was the secret key! The Mind pump guys speak so much sense!
I work as a medical assistant for a neurology clinic full-time, while also back in school full-time. I got in a car accident and haven’t been able to train in a couple months. I’m finally needing this for my mental and physical health!! This would help me get back into hiking/climbing 14ers this summer! 🙏🏼
Winner! Please email ann@mindpumpmedia.com with this episode number, a screenshot of your youtube profile, and the email you would like the program to go to!
So happy there's finally an episode for cardio people. Since i found you guys a few months ago, I've been dreading my two full marathons coming up at the end of the year because at this point in my life, I really want to focus more on muscle building and move away from the cardio world. Now there's a light at the end of the tunnel. I'll get through this. Thanks
I actually started just adding 2 days of cardio but just running 10 to 15 mins top and 3 days of strength training to keep as much muscle as possible and to attain some endurance and stamina. I'm at 5'11 197 lbs and thinking of dropping to 190 by losing must of it fat. Thank you for this episode it really helps and provides a great guide.
I still say that full body lilting 3x per week with sprints after combined with lots of daily walking is the best mix of both.
I weight train 5 days a week and walk at least 4 miles every day. I do the walk for the enjoyment of it, not the cardio but I know that my heart and joints are benefitting from it. Thanks for another great show as always you guys are a wealth of knowledge.
Been listening to this podcast for a min now, doing a recomp and enjoying without doing too much cardio. This podcast is reaching beyond the American continent. We blessed here in Africa to have guys like u give out such knowledge for free actually. Keep pumping Mind Pump. 💪💪
Where in Africa, brother? I am from Kenya and I absolutely agree with you 👊🏾
Being obese and sendentary for more than a decade now too afraid to start exercising for fear of hurting my knees at 50 years old. Finally last month I pushed myself to do a 30-minute moderate intensity low impact cardio almost daily with no diet change but after a month I was very disappointed to see no weight loss but gaining 2kg instead. Would love to start incorporating weight training to my routine but seems intimidating to learn all the right techniques and correct forms. Hope to learn a lot by subscribing to your channel!
Consider a dip/chin tower with a way to position yourself at the top position of each - a box, a chair, or whatever. Use your legs to adjust how much resistance your arms are fighting. This will give you the full push/pull/legs workout while helping you practice perfect form and work towards unassisted dips and chins (however impossible that might seem). Eventually, throw in some walking for the overall health benefits. Last, cut out all of the vegetable (seed) oil intake in your diet and substitute with animal fats, and greatly reduce sugar/processed carbs. Essentially, more meat, less plants. And seriously - best of luck from a total random stranger on the Internet.
@@2old4allthis Thanks for the tips!
I am retired and 59 years old. I am 25 pounds overweight and I am determined to get in shape by my 60th birthday in November. I use to be a cardio junkie but you guys have convinced me to focus more on strength training. Thanks
I am a 43 year old Law Enforcement officer. Came across your Chanel on You Tube then started listen to the podcast when Joe D. Recommended you all on his podcast. I listen to you all at work and while doing yard work. My job can be demanding. Some days consist of walking through rough terrain anywhere from a couple of miles up to 8 on some days. Jumping fences, walking through and crawling under heavy brush, to full on sprints in a snap of a finger. Going hands on with subjects. Other days we can spend most of the day in a vehicle driving around. I’m currently doing Joe Ds. Rebuilt 2.0 and getting great results. Want to try one of your programs when I’m done. Looking a program where I can improve strength, mobility and stamina. Would like your recommendation. My current set up is a home gym with a squat rack and 160lb bumper set. Dumbbells up to 35, Slowly adding more. Bands, battle rope, treadmill and a row machine. Would love to hear your feedback. Would also like to add I work the night shift and on a good day get 6 hours of sleep.
Hi. With your commitment to improving stamina, have you considered sleeping 7 hours?
Cardio, I’m glad you finally addressed it because people always misunderstood your statements. You’ve never said don’t do cardio but always don’t over do cardio!! On another note this would be a great birthday gift for me !!!
Superseting antagonist lifts is a great way to keep building muscle and to improve cardiovascular endurance.
Amen!
The only problem with running is the leg fatigue when training the next day, huge problem with squats but running for only twice a week has worked well for me
I appreciate all you guys do. This podcast and your MAPS programs have literally changed my life; everything from my fitness, confidence and health have been dialed in since finding you guys.
I've never liked normal cardio, I've just used martial arts as my cardio since I was about 10 years old and I've never had issues running or anything when I needed or wanted to. Good content guys!
Basically always prioritize the weight room and protein
Good evening gentlemen! I’m a cop in Texas and I’m trying to get my cardio up so join the State Police. This program would greatly benefit me and help me achieve a lifelong goal. Appreciate the content, keep it up!
Looks like someone else won the giveaway, but did you start the program anyway? Because seriously, that’s one helluva goal you’ve set. Good luck with your impressive plan, and remember - don’t let your dreams be dreams!
Hey guys, I’m 28 years old and giving competitive brazilian jiu jitsu another push, been using your channel to learn and improve. This program is right up my alley! Thanks
As an athlete playing both football and hitting the gym regulalry, I always struggled to keep my muscle mass and definition. Truth is, it can be so disheartening at times, that no matter how much you lift, playing sports can "backfire" on you sometimes. You guys really hit the nail in the head with this program. I'm very excited for it!!😊
Honestly, I think you guys have an intelligent and balanced view of cardio and strength training. Since I started listening to the show about 3 years ago, you have definitely shifted my views on the whole “cardio vs strength training” debate, and my training, body, and mindet have improved so much! 🙏 💜💪🤗
I'm 39, coaching for years and still learning a lot from you guys! Thank You for all the information you give for FREE! It is more valuable than many paid stuff out there! 👏🏼
I'm a 62 year old woman, pretty lean and fit, and although I've always incorporated body weight exercises in my movement routine, I'm now inspired to start a more structured weight training program. As a life-long runner, I hate the idea of giving up running for muscle. However, having gone through some significant health issues, I know really need to focus on weight training, as it better suits my current limitations, and even dream about doing some body building competitions! I just recently found your TH-cam channel and have been binge watching it and loving it! Will be checking out some of your strength programs. When this episode popped up in my feed, I was very excited to learn from your wisdom on this. Thank you for all you do, all of you are wonderful!
I’m a new trainer. Before this, I spent years as a fitness leader for various commands (USNavy). Following you guys has helped me see how I can enhance my command’s fitness program, how I can help my clients & myself! I’ve been watching you guys longer than I’ve been training & I’m confident in my programming with you all by my side. This MAPS Cardio-Done-Right program is going to change the game for us - especially in the military. Thanks guys!
The World record for calories burned an hour is 1511 by Clydesdale (200 lbs 2h 36min marathon). As of today, I am 161 lbs at 1398 cal per hour, was 1450 when I was younger (174 lbs 2h 20min marathon). If you eat carbs you will run out of energy in the bloodstream and your body will start attacking mucsle protein due to not having enough fat reserve or not having enough oxygen in the body to do so. As a carnivore diet runner, your body never runs out of fat used to add energy to the bloodstream so you never start to break down muscle protein for energy. This is why we eat 1-2 lbs of beef a day giving us 88-176 grams of protein not counting the other 8-12 eggs, fish, etc we also eat. People see the 115 lbs runner and think ALL RUNNERS are like this and think we are ALL Skinny and unhealthy, and before you say the fastest runners are skinny I was only 4 min below the Olympic qualification speed while I was in the Air Force. Ask yourself this how could someone lose muscle while eating 200-300 grams of protein a day? the answer is they can't or it would be damn near impossible. lol
This.
I went from construction for 4 years, I have lifted on and off my entire adult life. I’m really grateful for you guys and all of the knowledge you’ve given out, it’s inspired me and truly helped me stay on the path no matter how many times I’ve given up. I currently am trying to reduce my body fat percentage because a couple months ago I would have said I was probably 50 lbs over weight. Half way through maps performance now. Maps cardio will be my next program! Appreciate all the work you guys do, love the studio by the way!
Started anabolic and it's working a treat. You guys say it how it is and that is reflected in your programming. Keep it up
As a guy in 40s trying to do things better I feel like the episodes the last few weeks have been really hitting home. Thanks gents. God bless.
I've never been a fan of pure cardio. HIIT and Circut training has always been more fulfilling. Along with my weight trading..I do circut training for 45 mins to an hour 3 days a week and incorporate weights during the circut. It's almost similar to crossfit but not as intense and I also add weighted kickboxing once per week.I lost a ton of weight before and gained it all back because I didn't really have the knowledge that I have now. Now I'm back on track, losing fat while gaining muscle and I feel much more energetic during my deficit. I like how the more I learn about fitness on my journey, you guys always HIIT on things that are already going through my mind, things that I am questioning.
Yaaas 🔥, literally the program and conversation I've been waiting for. As a high level rugby playing child I went through a rough period from 18 to 32 losing loved ones and ballooned to 450lbs. Over the last 5 years I've built some lean muscle and lost 300lbs and want to get back into playing at a different position. This the dream thankyou so much you guys are the greatest, never stop doing what you do ❤️.
Hi all 👋 I’ve been listening to the podcast since the pandemic hit. Thank god I found you guys at that point! I’m a health coach & personal trainer that took several certification to get where I am, but your information is real & comprehensible. Who else is talking about blood sugar, hormones, how to build the metabolism like this?!? No one.. one stop shop for everything mind, body & fitness. 💪💛
25:40 gonna give a shout out to tennis as well. It's got the interval type cardio. You play a point max effort for few seconds. Then rest for 20-30 seconds and start the next point.
I have been listening to your podcast for a couple months now and I look forward to learning from each one! The knowledge that you guys give out is amazing, but I always love it when you guys start talking about your families and what's going on in your real lives too. The way you guys answer questions and help people out with real answers and not "fake influencer buy my product crap" is something truly special. You guys are different and it's really easy to see :) Keep killn' it !
In 2010, I began to lose weight from 200 lbs (my max at the time). I swam mostly, and got great at it. I dropped down to and hovered around 155-160 lbs. March 2020, gyms in CA closed down. I had some strength-training knowledge to get by, but not much. Having no equipment for home workouts, I decided to lose weight by running. I did what your channel says you shouldn't- I was running 20-40 miles a week while keeping daily caloric intake at 1200-1400. I dropped to 127 lbs a year later. Mm body got rid of all the muscle, and thought it was a good look. Then came the dreaded Thanksgiving gatherings, and I fell in love with food again. Listening to your channel has allowed me to embrace that part, while hitting the weights consistently. I was lucky enough to have access to weights for home workouts, and started building up again. All this while I was able to enjoy my favorite treats and not torturing myself at 1200 calories...yuck.
I'm up to 144 and fitting the size S clothing from my 127 lb days while implementing the knowledge I soak in from your videos (and ancillary content). The Resistance Training Revolution is here boys.
I’ve given up multiple times to get into better shape because I can never find what works for me listening to the podcast has helped me lay down my focus on finding what’s gonna work for me over trying what works for most others. Keep these shows coming!
I love you guy's..I was always the person that never did cardio..My main focus is where compound lifts recently I've been lifting lighter with cardio feeling more energy im a 41 year old man with years of lifting experience this is working for me in my life to be honest ..my total weight is down from 1355..I started having mobility issues.
most informative podcast that literally can save your life!!! went from and unhealthy obese lifestyle and instead of jumping into the endless cardio n crossfit class style programs i started with maps anabolic and ive turned my health around and im losing weight the healthy way and gaining muscle and strength!! maps cardio would be an awesome tool to add to the arsenal!!!
Thank you all for elaborating effectively on HIIT cardio and why it recruits more muscle preservation compared to other more steady-state forms of cardio. I really enjoy incorporating HIIT training, especially when it comes to plyometric training and martial arts. Those burn great and when combined with strength training, it makes it easier to give them more power and speed!
Cardio is a huge issue for me, I lift fb 3xweek and VR cardio 2x week avg bm watch says 135bpm-145bpm but any other cardio I honestly feel like I am dying and JUST CAN NOT BREATHE at least not properly or maybe VO2 issues, I feel this program wold not only teach me so much but show me how to continue to progress. Thank you for considering me for your give away.
I really appreciate everything you guys do to educate us. Your podcasts are so informative and interesting and make so much sense! The best podcast on U tube without a doubt! Thanks guys
Thank you so much!
I'm just a stay at home dad of three that wants to be strong and have good endurance. this program seems perfect. This podcast has been a game changer since finding it. I'm 160 pounds and love running.since finding this podcast I've gained muscle, gotten stronger and I'm able to run harder and further. Can't wait to eventually purchase one of the programs
Mid-30s started trying to be more active in mid 2020. Started intermittent fasting. Lost 100 pounds. Still a bit more to lose but now trying to add some muscle so have been looking more at y'all's stuff. Also started jiu jitsu and Muay Thai so trying to find the right balance of strength training and cardio outside classes when I have a very sedentary day job.
Loving the setup with the wide shots of all three you guys. The intro ad was super tasteful and feels right when we get almost an hour of great advice for free.
TEAM DOUG
This is where the best and most accurate information can be found. Im fat and Im going hard for the next year and do my absolute best to change my body. Im going to build as much muscle as possible and lose as much fat as possible. Wanna follow my journey?
Started my health journey literally 14 days ago - starting with a 5x5 and just walking at 15% incline - but learning so much from these videos!
Keep going it’s been 2 months for me
Hi guys since I started listening to you guys on Spotify 2 months ago I’ve hit episode 400: Keto, Intermittent Fasting & adrenaline fatigue (as of today and going strong!!!) I’ve gone from 235.4 to 159.6, after intermittent fasting I finally took the leap and did the 7 day fast finally! Since then I have brought myself back up to 194.7 eating clean and healthy my weight is going up, I’m able to eat more, and the greatest part of it all is that my muscle mass is finally coming in the way it’s supposed to after fixing my lifting posture and working out 3 to 5 days a week but I’ve been doing a full body Monday,Wednesday,Friday (sometimes Saturday and Sunday) Just trying to get everything dialed in. I’ve been listening all of your programs bundles and I couldn’t get in on it since those episodes are from 2017 or 2018 (so far, still catching up) this bundle came out at the perfect time! MindPump Mafia for life!!!
P.S. almost forgot I’m also working on finishing my certification for NASM
need this program -- as a dancer (need both strength and endurance aka overall athleticism) this is literally THE thing I've been struggling the most with when programming and choosing the right goals for myself
I think cardio is an amazing tool for fat loss. I think you only risk muscle loss if you are losing weight too fast, or if you cut calories too much along with doing a ton of cardio. But if you start off your cut with just adding cardio, and keeping your calories where they were before you started your cut, you will lose fat without losing muscle as long as you're not losing more than 1% bodyweight per week (if you're at an average body fat percentage). I'm cutting weight right now eating calories that is close to my maintenance from before I started my cut (around 2400 calories), and I'm losing weight and my strength has actually gone up slightly in 4 weeks. I think that's because I'm eating more and burning more. The additional food is providing additional nutrients to my body and is allowing me to slightly build muscle while losing fat. Also, I'm doing LISS cardio like the elliptical or incline walking, which is easy to recover from and doesn't damage my muscles too much while allowing me to burn a lot of calories. This is also key to me building strength, I'm not overtraining my body with doing a bunch of high intensity cardio or high impact cardio (like running).
Great information. Im in kickboxing for 2 years now and i lost about 60 pounds. Now im starting to do some weight to gain more muscle because im not losing any weight no more. Thank you lads.
As someone who wants to be versatile and ready for anything, cardio is kind of essential. This includes being a faux-athlete who can be thrown into almost any sport and perform well. OR play with his kids for an extended amount of time or perform certain tasks for an extended amount of time.
It's not for everyone, but I'm definitely someone who appreciates the benefits.
I’m a 50+trainer who overtrained during quarantine that resulted in minor tears, increased knee pain, disc bulges. I’ve learned a lot from you guys and would love to see if MAPS could get me back to my prior strength! No one wants to be trained by a chubby trainer!
Finally a program for the cardio folks to still be able to build muscle and not lose gains! My love is in long distance running and MMA/Muay Thai training and it's hard juggling the love of that plus strength training, which I know is important. Finally both a talk and program revolving around those of us who do cardio not just for the "weight loss" aspect, but the love of the sport!
As a teenager I used cardio to pretty much punish myself. My mindset was that I needed to push myself as hard as possible in order to "deserve" to eat. Not sure where I got that from, but I'm glad I've wisen up since. Fast forward to college, I discovered the kettlebells first, then barbells and I had a ton of fun doing that, but unfortunatelly had to stop every time they closed the gyms due to a certain pandemic. Then in January of this year, after struggling with back spasms for a few months, I finally got to go to the gym again and for the first time in my life started on a program (the starting strength 5x5). It was awesome (and my back pain was cured), I've never been stronger in my whole life than after a few weeks of structured barbell training, but soon I started noticing one problem - I had a hard time finishing my sets of squats, not due to lack of strength, but because I felt out of breath. I was about to leave for 2 month thogh, so I let that go and told myself that when I get back and start lifting again, I will do 1 day of "cardio" a week - I started 2 weeks ago, with some (very easy) running, sled pushing, kettlebell swinging and having fun trying out all the different types of cardio equipment my gym has that I have never used until now :D It's obviously a little too early to see any results, but I like it so far and I feel it breaks up the (sometimes mundane) routine of SBD. Anyways, that's my 5 cents. Enjoyed listening to your podcast with my lunch as always ;)
You guys are the best. I was just trying to mix and match elements from different MAPS programs to improve my conditioning and then, voilà, you guys come out with MAPS Cardio!
I’ve been struggling with building lean body mass because of this very reason…I implemented your strategies and scaled it back and follow a Push Pull Leg split hitting body parts twice a week but I also love riding bike every day and burn a additional 900 calories. With this new info and strategy I will hopefully succeed to my next goal…thank you for all the great content you’ll been producing. 🇨🇦🍻👏👏
This is the best fitness podcast I have seen in a very long time. Love it. It helped me a lot in clearing a lot of my confusions. ❤
What people tend to do wrong in regards to longer bouts of cardio is that they push harder than they should and go beyond what's called Zone 2 cardio. Zone 2 cardio has been shown to have amazing mitochondrial benefits. Mitochondria dysfunction is linked to metabolic disorders such as alzheimer's, cancer, and diabetes. The goal of Zone 2 training is not to build up lactate, which will start to burn glycogen stores for energy instead of fat stores. There will be some lactate build up, but this is just on the edge in regards to fat oxidation and glycolysis. Another mistake people will make with this type of cardio is reducing calories and not figuring in the cardio as a form of energy deficit, so instead of being at a modest 300-500 calorie deficit, they are at a 800-1000 calorie deficit which will induce adaptations to prevent starvation, and obviously this is compounded with pushing into harder anaerobic zones for long periods of time. Most athletes spend 80% of their training in this zone to improve their athletic performance even at higher anaerobic efforts since this type of training improves lactate utilization through a protein called MCT-1. The only downsides to this type of training is the fact that you need to do it on a machine that has a way to keep the effort at a steady pace, and you need to do it for at least 45 minutes to reap the most benefits. Running hiking and biking are going to have periods of too little and too much effort to take full advantage of zone 2 training, unless you utilize stationary bikes or treadmills or stair climbers.
O my god this program is what the world (of endurance athletes who want to look good and still do their sport so not a really big world) needed! Thanks so much guys, I have been waiting for this for so long.
Previously have run RGB, and just finished up MAPS Symmetry and let me tell you - wow! Symmetry programming is insane. Admittedly, I was skeptical about the isometrics and unilateral but after running it, it totally makes sense. I'm sure MAPS Cardio will do the same!
Excellent show. So true about fueling. The body is always looking for the easiest fuel source. Depending on intestity it wil burn fats at lower plus some carbs at higher it will reverse to mainly carbs. The one fuel source you want to avoid is muscle at all costs. The way to do that is eat during exercise. The rule of thumb is 1g of carbs to 1kg of body weight. The days of doing endurance exercise with no fueling is long gone. Excellent show and talk on how to do it properly. On the bike there is a rule do not diet on the bike fuel the ride
Thank you for sharing your wisdom. Enjoy listening to your podcast as motivation tool. 59 yrs old male trying to stick to healthy life style. Gracias
I could physically cry I am SO excited about this! As someone who has listened/watched you guys for years, I trust and take to heart EVERYTHING you say. I’ve dealt with a lot of mental health issues for the last 10 years, and running is the only thing has truly made an impact on working through that. I always struggle with wanting to stop running based off of your recommendations to limit cardio (to an extent), so this program/episode is exactly what I need! I often listen to your episodes more than once, and this one will be on repeat all week for me! Thanks guys!! 🥲❤️
I would love this program!! I’m currently running MAPS Performance in my running off season. I would love this program to help lead into training for another half marathon. Mind Pump has helped me get back into weight lifting over the past couple years but I’ve wanted to also still pursue running off and on.
This is the perfect episode for me, MAPS Anabolic has been phenomenal, but with my ADHD and sports background i needed to hear that cardio is not only ok, but can also be used to keep fit. I was always a cardio guy until i saw the light (because of this show) and lifted weights to get fit. I am no longer skinny, with a gut. I'm a strong fit looking person now. Thanks Mind Pump
You guys have changed my perspective of the fitness industry drastically. As a new trainer, I had a lot of areas I didn't realize I needed to grow in. You guys are helping me so much; I'm always excited to listen in on your episodes and continue my learning journey. Thank you for all the amazing work your team does!
I'm SOOOOO EXCITED for this new MAPS plan. This is what I have been waiting for ❣️ ever since having my baby boy I've struggled with my weight and finding an effective exercise plan and be athletic as I was prebaby.
Thanm you sooo much for your podcasts video , they give me sooooo much confidence to adapt exercise to my new life ❣️
I always want to be in physical condition to do whatever activity with my kids and/or grandkids. If they want to go backpacking, run a 1/2 marathon, bodybuilding competition, hike the Grand Canyon, or an OCR, I want to be able to do it with them. I related to sal’s story about running the 1/2 with his wife. Adaptation makes me super human
This is exactly the program I've been wanting and needing lately. I'm quite adept and easy pace running and have no problem heading out for 5,10, 15 miles. But still I've found myself huffing and puffing chasing the dog and kids around, and it's been frustrating. This is a very exciting program! Itching to get my hands on it!
This episode really covered all the things i feel that you overlook when you talk about cardio. Can't forget about the health benefits of going out into the world and doing something that you enjoy. For those of us that work manual labor jobs, stamina and endurance make a world of difference in the quality our daily lives. Give me maps cardio now please
Twice in my life I have used cardio to lose weight. I couldn’t understand how I could lose 60+ lbs and still look flabby. Now that I’ve learned so much from MP, I now understand I shed muscle and fat when running and under consuming calories. So happy I’ve learned how to do it correctly. Now I’m the strongest and leanest I’ve ever been in my life. Pulled off a recomp in 4 months with everything I’ve learned from this show.
As a former basketball player, this makes a lot of sense to me! Now that I’m not playing I tried lifting with cardio as my base but I was never successful in reaching my goals. This episode is game changing for my programming!
Used to do intervals (20 minutes) with running and rowing machines but knee injuries stopped that. Now strength training and going sauna and my heart is knackered.
It'll be nice to have some running in my life though.
Thanks for the info over the years. I'm expanding my home gym to get ready to start MAPS Anabolic. I am sooooo excited to get started. After working with free weights, and dipping my toe in the deep waters of fitness, I am ready for a new challenge. Here we go!!!
These guys are legit! And there is no BS to their approach. Thank you for everything you do guys!
Super excited about the new program! Literally just sent in a question last week to you guys asking about how I could balance endurance cardio while still prioritizing strength training. Question has been answered!!
It’s tough trying to balance triathlon training w out losing progress I’ve made w strength. 2-4 full body days have been super beneficial though. Thanks again!!
I’m a former D1 cross country and track athlete turned gym rat. I’m enjoying this process of building muscle but I still love to run. Thank you for this video!
I love that you guys have created a MAPS cardio! As a single mother of 3 I am looking forward to doing it!
Im 43 years old, I do my strength training about 1 hour, and I run about 15 km's everyday, and I have good results.
I am excited to try the new program! I currently have four of your programs and have been wanting to add more cardio back to my routine besides walking. I have a five year old and a newborn and need more cardio to keep active at the playground, riding bikes, and youth sports.
You guys really think of everything! Mindpump has it all! Amazing programming for everyone.
I love to lift heavy weights and break my own limits every workout I do but also I like having fun playing sports specially soccer and bicycle in a very competitive mindset. For me everything is about balance and having fun in every process, your body will react and adapt to every thing you do physically but at the end just do what you enjoy , you can take the best of both worlds and make results in both ways.
I started my weightless journey recently doing mainly cardio because I've got alot to lose but looking to incorporate some weights too and curious on what the best balance would be. Found this episode really helpful, thank you!
Waiting for that MAPS CrossFit next! Lol. Good stuff guys, I might have to give Cardio a try!
The best form of working out is what you enjoy the most. Stop over thinking things. If you enjoy cardio do it! It’s great for you
Been enjoying MAPS ANABOLIC, PERFORMANCE, AESTHETICS & HIIT. Now MAPS CARDIO? Xmas please arrive early and lemme have some of that 🙏🏾
This MAPS Cardio program is EXACTLY WHAT MY HUSBAND NEEDS! He was a varsity team captain cross country athlete who switched over to resistance training (thanks to me introducing him to Mind Pump 😜). However, he still misses going on long runs but is afraid he’ll lose his muscle definition that he has built thanks to MAPS Anaerobic (GREAT program btw 🙌🏼👉🏼💪🏼) Thanks Mindpump for making this and all the great content that you put out. Keep up the amazing work!!! #MindpumpthleteForLife🤘🏼
Cardio is awesome for burning off the once a week cheat meal it’s the best for me , do it when yii want just balance with strength training life is balance.
Hells Yeah Archery season is exactly 9 weeks out its a sign!
I know I should introduce some version of cardio or endurance training but I’ve never been sure how, so I’m ready for this episode!
Thank you for constantly giving away information for free to help people get better at weight lifting and live healthier lives. You are my go to for any question I have about fitness!
This new program looks great and I want to get it so that I can get out and hike more on my off days!
I've literally been looking for this type of programme for the last week, timing couldn't be better!
wow guys perfect timing I started training to get in better shape to join the military and MAPS cardio is literally the perfect thing for that lol
I think this might be the program that's says my life. I'm trying lower my blood pressure, weight, cholesterol. I've always been strong and fast but never had the endurance to workout at an intense level and I've always failed a building that endurance.
Ready for MAPS cardio! My biggest struggle has been staying in shape for my flag football league and keeping my muscle! Excited for this program.
I have a history of over training because i mix a lot of sport type cardio (boxing/judo/HIIT sprints etc.) and resistance training, trying not to lose muscle mass or over train while mantaining some sort of cardiovascular conditioning.
Sal running a half marathon 😲 I can now see Adam doing Crossfit 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
Perfect video at the perfect time, I was just working on adjusting my program to reduce my overall cardio.
i am 26 years old looking to lose 50lbs! i do currently train 3-4 times a week but i don't feel like i am seeing results from my current training program, i would just like some advice on what i should do next regarding my diet and training 🥴 thank you guys so much i really appreciate all the information you've given us!!
