 I need you right now, yeah I need you right now, so don't let me, don't let me What is going on guys? Jacob here with another question and answer video. I've got a question I get asked quite a lot and that is what type of cardio is best for me to lose weight? Okay now the first thing that I go into with anyone who asked me that is how do you lose weight? Okay what does cardio do? What what does cardio do to you to to accelerate your weight loss? Well what it does is it raises your heart rate. The the faster your heart rate is going, whatever activity you're doing, whether that be walking, swimming, running, fucking, whatever, the more calories are going to be burning, you know it's as simple as that. The more muscle tissue you have on your body at the time of doing cardio, the more calories you're going to be burning. Muscle tissue takes you know far more calories than fat tissue to maintain and to move so that's another thing that you've got to keep in mind. Now as far as this question is going to be related to low-intensity steady-state cardio versus high-intensity interval training cardio so less first hit. Personally guys I've tended to go to towards the low-intensity steady-state cardio now as far you know there's certain reasons why I do that. There's pros and cons of each but basically the way I see it I enjoy going for a walk right so I you know first thing in the morning if I don't have work that day I really enjoy getting up before I have any chance to sort of think about anything getting out into that fresh air and hitting the streets. Most mornings I can't be fuck running I'm not gonna lie and personally I believe that running is overrated or too much running is certainly overrated I think that in the long run it's gonna be bad for your knees bad for your joints I feel that a nice brisk walk maybe on a slight incline is a lot easier on your knees and you know it's not gonna fuck me up for the future so especially if you're gonna be doing cardio you know every day or every second day I feel that a run might be might be too much for your joints so in saying that I like to get out get out first thing in the morning and and go for a walk you know and my walk might last an hour it might last two hours you know and I guess the negative of that is if you're pressed for time so if you're pressed for time you've only got half an hour and you want to burn a good amount of calories well high-intensity interval training is gonna be your only option whether that's interval training or whether that's just high intensity the whole 30 minutes it's up to you it's how much you can handle I guess but yeah if if time if time is an issue then high intensity I would recommend if time's not an issue personally I love low intensity steady state I put on a YouTube video I put on a podcast music stick it on my ears and just really enjoy enjoy the outdoors man just look around and enjoy that now as far as if I'm going to a gym I will most likely go for the high intensity steady state you know high intensity interval training I can't spend over an hour doing cardio in a gym it's just too mundane it's too it's fucking boring you know I don't enjoy it so if I'm in the gym and I'm gonna be doing cardio I want to be doing something high intensity for 30 minutes burn my calories get in and out and that's it as far as weight training goes well I can spend at least an hour in the gym I love weight training cardio not so much so let's say let's say for an hours walk I'll burn 500 calories well for for half an hour's run I'll burn the same amount of calories so really what is best for fat loss you know it's all numbers man it's it's science it's calories inverse calories out so you want to only burn 300 calories in half an hour go for a walk you want to burn 500 calories in half an hour go for a run you want to burn a thousand calories in half an hour fucking do squats non-stop for half an hour and you'll probably will so depending on how many calories you want to burn how many you've taken in how guilty you feel at the time is going to determine whether you go for high intensity cardio or low intensity steady-state cardio as I've said personally I like low intensity steady-state for various reasons so for example I'll give you I'll give you an example for today okay so it's about one o'clock in afternoon right now I've got up at eight eight thirty I was out the door I've walked till ten I listened to a Grant Cardone podcast on wealth and finance and shit like that I get quite inspired with that sort of stuff especially first thing in the morning so did that got back at ten and I'd burnt fuck what was it like I think it was only about five five six hundred calories for an hour and a half and you know that it's not much but I got more out of it than just just the calories burn so I feel good about it like I said if I was if I had to go to work in an hour I'd most probably wait till after work to do cardio but if I couldn't wait then I would I would go for a run and possibly you know do a circuit or setups and sit up a circuit of some setups press ups and body weight squats for maybe ten minutes then I'd go for a possibly a ten minute run and then I'd do another ten minutes of that and that would be 30 minutes I've burned at least 500 calories and it'll be sweet so it's up to you guys that's just a few a few thoughts from my brain from me to you we're all in this game together man if you are dieting cardio is cardio you're gonna need to do it at some stage I believe I mean there are people who are genetically leaner and they seem to be able to maintain that a lot easier for me I feel like just that that little bit of oomph I've got to get my heart rate going at least once or twice a day to to really get myself into that fat burning mode so that is through you know a cardio session and a weight session so I enjoy it it's it's it's part of my life now it's part of my lifestyle for anyone who has never gone for a walk who has never gone for a run just try it man get up get up fucking early get up at five in the morning when it's still dark and see how you feel getting out into that fresh air with the headphones on man get back at six o'clock everyone else is just you know they're still asleep man you're back at six you've already done an hour's cardio it's an amazing feeling I recommend you try it until next time peace
