For decades fitness gurus have been touting the health benefits of aerobic exercise such as jogging and power walking. The phrase “cardio exercise” itself has become synonymous with heart healthy exercise. Numerous books, “as seen on TV” exercise tapes, and even misguided doctors continue to claim many benefits for traditional cardio and aerobic exercise including: 1) Losing Weight 2) Increased Oxygen In Your Body 3) A Stronger Heart 4) Decreased Blood Pressure 5) Stronger Bones 6) You’ll Live Longer 7) Stronger Muscles Increased Energy And many more! However… there’s just one little problem. If you’re sticking with just cardio / aerobic exercise, you’re not going to get all of those benefits. In fact, if that’s ALL you do, you can count on a weaker heart, diminished lung capacity, and shrinking muscle mass. How’s that possible? Let me explain.

At first glance you might think, well, that’s good.
