Gotta WORK the CARDIO!!!

As we all KNOW, 3 main areas of Exercise need to be addressed in order to attain FITNESS. For the last umpteen years, we have been bombarded with article after article of experts decrying the need for us to ‘do’ Strength, Cardio and Flexibility Work.

But what if the ‘experts’ are wrong? What if the endless hours sweating on the treadmill or the elliptical or stair climber are not only a waste of time BUT actually BAD for your long term health and ability to perform?

AND what if Stretching is BAD for your joints?

AND what if the way we lift weights actually re-enforces improper movement patterns that set us up for injury?

Is it hard for you to imagine the above possibilities? Remember how egg yolks were considered to be so dangerous for about 20 years and then all of a sudden researchers discovered that God had not made a mistake and that egg yolks are actually good for you??

So is it in the Realm of Possibility that just Maybe we have been duped into believing in a system of exercise that is not as advertised? And is it possible that ‘financial gain’ is the main factor that drives the Fitness Industry?

Pull up a chair my friend and tell me ALL of your physical problems even though you workout at least 3 times a week. Maybe your Old injuries are not the problem as much as the way YOU TRAIN NOW!!!!

Next time I’ll give you some answers :).

BUT RIGHT NOW check out this video http://www.powerworkshop.org/strength.html . Last year at the ripe old age of 55, I performed a Feat of Strength in front of the Association of Oldetime Barbell & Strongmen that has NEVER BEEN DONE BEFORE in the history of the world. No lie. AND NO CARDIO!
