Endurance work is good for you – yeah right!

One of my clients advised me that they were going to be running a 10k race in one month;

I hate anything endurance based that requires the body to perform the same movement over and over thousands of times…..it’s just plain bad for all the tissues involved…….I said  – would you squat 7000 times for a healthy workout?!

Running 10,000 meters is thousands of reps of the same movement that wears the heart, the joints and soft tissues down – what are you long distance people thinking of….do none of you know that the first ever marathoner died straight after!!!

Marathons are healthy.....sure

And people die all the time during marathons;

Having said all that, I am really pleased they have set themselves a new goal and wish them all the best in the actual event and look forward to future preparation personal training sessions!

You can get all the health benefits of endurance training plus so much more with out any of the side effects (death, busted knees and skinny fat) if you utilise the principles laid out in my Go Anywhere, Do Anything ebook

OR

Head down and see me for a session or two and learn for yourself what it is to workout properly without the need for traditional cardio!

Besides – you deserve to have your spare time taken up by friends, family and the finer things in life….like a beer or two and not by stupid long sessions on the treadmill or bike.
