(Excessive) Cardio Harms the Heart
10 years ago people called me crazy for warning against the dangers
of excessive cardio. It doesn't work, I said, and you'll get overuse
injuries that can ruin your life.
Well, today, not only am I no longer a lone voice in the wilderness, but
major newspapers - like the Wall Street Journal - are reporting on studies
that show excessive cardio harms the heart.
According to the WSJ, research in the
The British journal, "Heart", says:
The British journal, "Heart", says:
Running 20-25 miles or more per week eliminates the benefit of exercise
as you grow older and cause's excessive wear-and-tear on the heart.
Of course, exercise ADDICTS will ignore dispute this information, and
runners will continue to post "I hate Coach Clarence comments, but the
#truth about long slow cardio and running is this...
1) You can get better fat burning results in less time
2) Less exercise = less wear-and-tear on the body, including your heart,
skeletal muscles, and your joints
3) You'll have more time to do other important things if you aren't out
running for 200-250 minutes per week (assuming a 10-minute mile)
Even Dr. Kenneth Cooper, the father of 'aerobics' has said, "If you are
running more than 15 miles a week, you are doing it for some reason
other than health."
