How Would You Like to Never Run Again?

Do you like running? Of course you don't - running sucks, right? (It's cool - you can tell me the truth.) I can't stand running, either. Now and then I'll go for a run, b/c they're pretty few and far in between.

But don't you need to run if you wanna have good cardio? I mean, isn't that what we've been told forever? And if you're not gonna run, then you have to do some sorta other cardio like the bike, rower, elliptical, or whatever?

Well, what if I told you that you never had to run again?

'Tis true.

So how do you get a good cardio workout w/o running? Thought you'd never ask.

By doing circuit training, you can get awesome cardio b/c you get to build up your work capacity. And what's work capacity?

Well, put simply, work capacity is kinda like your body's gas tank. It's what determines:

-how much work you can do
-how hard and fast you can do it
-how quickly you recover
-and a bunch of other stuff

In other words, the more work capacity you have, the more, just like the name says, capacity to work you have.

So how does that give you better cardio?

Simple - the more work you can do, the better shape you have to be in. I mean, think of it like this. Let's say you wanted to run a mile in 6 minutes. You'd have to have good cardio to do that, right?

Well, instead of trying to have good cardio so that you could run that fast, train to run that fast, and you can't help but have good cardio.

See what I mean? Your cardio is a by-product that you *can't help* but accomplish! When you train to increase your work capacity, great cardio (and all the benefits that go with it) ARE A GIVEN!!

Now, here's the thing - when you do circuit training to increase your work capacity, you develop your work capacity in a bunch of different ways:

-you build better cardio from all the work you do
-you decrease bodyfat b/c you're constantly moving
-you build strength and power with the dumbbell exercises
-you get better at moving your own body around with the calisthenics you do

And that's just the tip of the iceburg! When you train for work capacity, you get cardio - plus a bunch of other awesome benefits - w/o even having to try! They just happen!

But what kind of circuit training should to do for your cardio workouts?
