    This app describes why you need to run, even if you're building muscle. In fact ESPECIALLY if you're building muscle! While you might catabolise a little muscle in the short term, in the long term you're more likely to reduce your resting heart rate and thereby help you to reduce stress and thus reduce cortisol and so myostatin. In short, you'll be in 'rest and digest' more often and thereby, you'll be more anabolic. That and you'll also improve your body's ability to deliver nutrients and oxygen to your muscles AND you'll have improved fitness for workouts. You can read more about all this here: www.thebioneer.com/run-youre-t...

    I run 20-35m 4-6x per week and I swim 15-20m 2-3x per week. I’m a bodybuilder at 5’7 ~150lbs 15-16%bf I do cardio to maintain my bodyweight and not gain fat. And I these cardio sessions help me a lot with recovery. The running helps my core, chest and legs recover more quickly. The swimming helps the whole body recover. Note, I eat 4-5x per day and I always have food before lifting, running/swimming. So my body never runs out of glycogen because I’m not running for very long periods of time. My point is, so your cardio it will help you recover much more quickly

    I’m going to second everything he said in this video. Especially the doing all these things for a healthy overall body composition. Long ago I gave up on the aesthetic part and focused on various training methods and nutrition. Over time, which is what our goal should be, fat disappears while building endurance, lean muscle, flexibility, mobility, and longevity. If all these things are are covered in your training, the aesthetic part takes care of itself.

    If you’re interested in a deeper look of this very topic look up Dr Andy Galpin: does cardio kill gains, he does a whole lecture about the mechanisms at play in both cardiovascular stimulation and hypertrophy stimulation and how they interfere with each other.
    Essentially, mitochondrial stimulation represses muscle growth, but that reaction peaks for two or three hours post training and tapers off after 6 or so hours. So a healthy strategy is to split both training methods into morning and evening sessions or focus on each on alternating days

    Something i find useful for cardio (specifically heart health) is changing the intensity of the run in intervals. For example if i do a 30 min run in the morning, the first 5-10 mins are at a comfortable pace,, then I'll go as fast as I can maintain for 5 mins, then slow down, speed up, back and forth, ending with a sprint at the end. It's also great for build that mind over matter cause when you're already gassed the last thing your body wants is a 1 min sprint

    Dude fascinating video, you definitely had me right at the title. You make some really good points, and I find myself slipping into thinking about short term gains more often than I would like to admit. And then not considering the health benefits that you're talking about. But you're right! I have always said my whole approach to fitness is that it's a lifelong pursuit so we have to be considering building a strong foundation that will be more likely to get us better results. I've definitely been incorporating more low impact steady state cardio so as to avoid additional stress to my needs. I've had trouble in the past with them. But I do still enjoy running. Have you found any other forms of steady state that you have enjoyed? Thanks for the content!

    I have been running everday now with my water shoes. I would say it burns my foot because I have been generating heat and unconditoned to doing barefoot running. I live in the city where needles, glass shards, and rocks are bad. But I do say it builds more muscle. Then I also look more masculine and energetic. There are debates on how skip roping burns more calorie than running. Plus swimming burns more than running. Coming from a martial art background; I emphasize stratrgy, creativity, and quarantine training because I see my own goals. Thanks to you and the internet that I wish to do more fitness even I am self coached.

      1 year after the comment of this video, I finally got my whitin cross trainers (barefoot shoes I'm guessing) that running in colder weather has gotten easier. I will suggest anyone to try conditioning themselves using barefoot shoes. Like feeling the world around you as if you own a home. From my own experience, wearing just a socks or glove outside is a completely different experience. Most of my foundational strength were developed thanks to the floor we all have and walk on.

      You'd think that the fact that it's so knee-wrecking and heel-wrecking would make them try to land on the forefoot, which is of course what the human body is made for, but apparently the cultural conditioning towards landing on the heels is so strong that they find the notion of landing on the forefoot absurd.

    I think fitness is about vitality. You need to run to get the blood pumping to your organs, your brain, and throughout your whole body. Just a guess, but I think that enables the pathways throughout your body to open up for blood to oxygenate and distribute nutrition throughout. As well, mobility is very important to. Its probably just personal opinion, but I think your body shouldn't just be a block of muscles. All the systems need to work together to create a healthy, optimal human. That means stretch, cardio, lift, and relax (mindfully). It all helps.

    When I was in middle to high school I would run short distance a lot - long distance wasn't my thing- and I had bigger thighs and glutes and now ( I'm 18) that I dont run it's harder to build muscle at home with resistance bands and light weight dumbells and I have to focus so hard to even feel like I'm engaging the muscles... I'm sure my body type is mesomorph i have them broad shoulders, I eat 4-5 times a day with 20 to 25 grams of protein per meal with good amount of carbs and healthy fats too I eat a little plant based. I do include things like eggwhites meat and fish at least once a day, I eat more like beans, whole grain breads, lentils... I have a hard time gaining weight. I could gain it fast and lost it fast, my muscles look like they grow at least within two days of working out once again and then they look like they get smaller after a little while ...its disappointing I try not to give up tho, what I'm saying is can I grow my leg muscles and glutes by just running short distance and playing sports like soccer which is what I would do to

      If you wanna grow your legs heavy-ish barbell squats in the 10-15rep range work wonders. For hams I recommend glute-ham raises and for glutes hip thrusts are awesome. That said I found that high itensity hill sprints can build muscle but also develop great athleticism but they're not optimal for leg hypertrophy. But as a soccer player you don't want to have too big leg muscles anyway so I feel like you could definitely profit considerably from doing hill sprints. Only downside to them is that they're brutal which can lead to consistency issues. You'll need quite a bit of willpower to push through with these
