This testimonial is one of many I receive like it. That said, I do think that if you have a very high level of skill at running or biking and stop it cold turkey for a period of time and only did strength training, you will indeed lose your edge. But at a lower level, more along the lines of recreational aerobic training, strength training properly will indeed keep the ship afloat and in fact improve upon endurance. No question. Will do Sean.

Check out my most recently blog: http://www.health-actualization.blogspot.com/. I tell the full story of my 5K experiment over the last three entries, but the most recent one speaks to your testimonial. Hey Fred,

If I recall, the definition of Cardio is to get ones heart rate up to 80% of his/her maximum heart rate (according to ones age) and keep it there for more than 20 minutes. As of this week I've been doing Slow Burn for eight weeks and my heart rate always gets up to target range. I do slow burn twice a week and still cannot complete it in 30 minutes (takes me 40). If I were to complete it in 30 minutes (although I try) my heart rate would go well over target range for my age. So, anybody that says, "slow Burn is not cardio" has never done it! I might add, since doing Slow Burn, along with a low carb/high protien diet that I started several weeks before Slow Burning, my resting heart rate has gone from 80 to 59 and I have lost 27 lbs. on the scale and 4.5 inches around my waist. Many of my friends would like to strart Slow Burn and are asking me for advice. I always tell them to buy the book fist and read it thoroughly before starting. This way if someone trys to tell them something that's not true and discourage them, they will know the truth! I thought I might chime in about cardio here.

Love it! I guess “Increasing the Intracellular Mitochondria” didn’t have quite the same ring as “Skinning the Cat”!

Love it!
