Hate on cardio is real for many, but it can't be left out either. If you push weight to make chest, arm, legs, etc stronger then only an idiot is going to ignore the exercises to make the most important muscle stronger.

I am fighting this battle with my 16 year old. he only wants to lift but no cardio. Doesn't understand that just doing something minimal like riding the fan bike will benefit him in the long run.

Is that a free podcast? Ill take a listen unless it costs $.

Its 100% free, his goal is actually to make free fitness and health advise available to people. He is a scientist at Stanford. He is a wealth of knowledge but he also has some super super great resources on his podcast like Andy Galpin and Peter Attia.

I encourage everyone in this thread to give it a listen though I know there are many podcast on the topic of health and nutrition this is the one I seem to keep going back to.
