We all know that cardio is great for us. But as lifters, cardio is seldom a passion, and many of us skip it entirely.
2025 was the year this changed for your two podcast hosts. As heavy guys, we had a hard time fitting cardio into our lives, and all efforts to build a cardio habit in the past had failed. But not this time! Both of us managed to turn things around, and although ‘love’ might be too strong a word, we can proudly say that cardio is something we no longer struggle with.
In today’s episode, we discuss what changed for us, how we successfully built our cardio habits, and what results we’ve seen from this after almost a full year as cardio bunnies!
