How important is cardio in your workout /fit/ ?

It's the main component

Don't do any

Everybody should have a good balance of weightlifting, mobility work and cardio. Not doing some of each will eventually lead to injury.

was alternating 9min HIIT one day, the next 30min walking, repeat.

now just walking 30min around 3~4 times per week, started walking in the threadmill recently and felt waaaay better than I expected

>hasn't done cardio since field senior year of HS
>run a 7 minute mile at 230 lbs 5'10"
>not even good cardio, resting heart rate 80
Get on my level plebs, 5.7l vital lung capacity here

I used to hate it because my dumb ass only ever associated cardio with running, treadmills, elipticals,etc.

I later found out that i just need to get my heart in its target zone. Indo jump rope and hiking mostly

I do 30mins of medium intensity cardio 7 times a week.

I do 15mins of HIIT 5 times a week

I do 60 minutes of low-to-medium intensity cardio twice a week.

So quite important.

>get caught up in partying, don't do any sort of exercise for 2 years
>decide to get my shit together, start exercising again
>day 1 run 6:30 mile, squat 275 and deadlift 4pl8
I was literally in disbelief. My physical state barely deteriorated at all after 2 years of living a stagnant life. Get your kids to be athletic. This can get them a lifetime of health and fitness and they won't even know it

it's predominately swimming and cycling, so it's actually quite easy on the body.

the only reason i run ever is because i have to run my husky a few miles a week or she will eat the furniture.

cycling can be shit on the knees though

I do a six day bro split in the mornings and Tabatas six days a week mid mornings.

Then i smoke dope and play vidya for 9 hours

Fucking this, man. I have a corgi, so he's not nearly as crazy, but I make sure to walk him 4-5 times a day otherwise he gets bored and starts crying and chewing on everything. Whenever anyone talks about wanting to get a husky, I tell them that they absolutely have to get its insane amount of energy out or it's gonna act like an asshole. One friend didn't listen, and his dog chewed up his 3DS. Another friend didn't listen, and her dog chewed up her wallet.
