What's with fat people doing everything other than cardio in the gym

Because Dr Now needs them.

Cardio is the worst way to lose fat.

hmmm, what I observe in Endurance Athletes seems to tell a different story from the "lifting weights is all you need" MYTH

[DrewDarden]

It's been a big part of losing a significant amount of weight for me.

I periodize it like I periodize lifting weights, but right now I do 60-90 minutes every day on the recumbent bike.

Someone was talking about the calories burned on a bike like that being minimal... Okay? Let's say it's 250 kcal. per 60 minute session. Multiply that by 7 days per week, and that's an additional half pound of fat per week.

After 15 weeks, that's 7.5 additional pounds of fat.

Anyway that's just how I look at it.

Being consistent with the calorie deficit is more important, but the cardio helps.

Is this a weird riddle breh?

Bloatlords need weights and cardio.

[Nicklol]

They dont really need to though. as long as they are active they are burning sht. Cardio is boring and hard on your joints if youre heavier. Diet and weights is fine to start

[AWillis]

Maybe some intense resistance cardio, although someone really fat or old might need to be medically cleared for that.

Otherwise, lift weights, gain muscle, clean up your diet. Endless cardio is one of the last tools to bring out to drop fat. It works, up until your body adapting to it. Then it's just wasting your time or you've having to increase the frequency or duration to get anything out of it. At some point, even someone who wasn't already fat has been knees and ankles.

so much for cals in vs cals out LMAO

but why lift when it's all about the face?

That doesn't change anything about cals in vs cals out.

It just means your body becomes much more efficient at using oxygen as you get fitter and you burn fewer calories as a result of exercise.

So there are definitely diminishing returns there.

That's why I find it helpful to periodize cardio with more relaxed periods and periods where I pile it on.

Op you do know that cardio on overweight people is not their strength and it is hard for them to breathe, so they select less difficult easier activities.
My heavy friend always lifted with me first and did like 10 min of cardio before he burned out quickly.
Think about it.

Just about every day an obese person suffers an infarction from strenuous cardio

Pretty sure that's the opposite of getting healthier
