Intense daily cardio. Right. So I think zone two cardio, which is designed to keep your heart rate at a certain level, is very different than chronic, unrelenting, hardcore cardio, which is very different than high intensity interval training. We know that burst training is important for women in particular, but burst training is Five to 10 minutes. It is not 30 minutes.

It is not an hour long slog where you're killing yourself on a bike or you are, you know, doing and I'm going to take a lot of heat for this CrossFit or Orange Theory Fitness five days a week with no breaks. That is not what we're talking about. And so I think that there's a place for strength training. There's a place for zone two training, which is designed to be done where you're not panting.

You're able to carry on a conversation. You could be walking up hills in your neighborhood. As an example, I live in a very hilly part of my state. very different than chronic cardio. And I think my generation has been convinced. Number one, we want to be skinny and not strong.

And the other thing that I think about quite a bit is that we were the generation that was convinced that we wanted to do all these aerobic activities and That's probably not what is going to allow us to lose weight over time. Now, are there exceptions?

Probably, but I find more often than not, the amount of cortisol that you are eliciting with that chronic, unrelenting, hardcore cardio is not the cortisol that is going to be your friend. I think when we're talking about that intense cardio that we've been conditioned to believe is what's going to allow us to lose weight, we know that exercise is actually a poor way to lose weight.

It does many other benefits, but if you're purely doing hardcore cardio to lose weight, that's actually not particularly effective and that's looking at the science. So when I'm helping women understand how to restructure their exercise, it's like, I'm not telling you not to exercise, but let's exercise smarter. Put your time into strength training, do some zone two training,

High-intensity interval training or burst training is important, but that's not an hour-long activity. That's like 10 or 12 minutes of activity. This is where people have gotten hit and Tabata all wrong. It's not a 30-minute class. It is designed to be short durations.
