If you haven't done them, then don't talk to me about the negative effects. A proper cycle can be done virtually side effect free.

Why do people go to the gym but then only do cardio?

Note the "virtually".

This is an amazing thread. I had no idea so many here were all geeked out on gym culture.
Me, I go to the gym to have fun and force myself out of the house and away from the comp. (I work at home.) I make it every other day on average. Lots of times it's cardio, other times resistance machines or basketball. As long as I start with some good stretching, I know I'll see a benefit.

Yeah, that's how I felt when I was 24.
I'm 53. Things change.
First it was a ruptured calf. Then it was back problems.

Flexibility and cardiovascular health are two very important components of health... it isn't just about msucles. I need to start working more on my flexibility... currently I just stretch after doing weights.

I'm sure it's true for you, Doddler; it used to be true for me.

I trained at a gym for a while and my trainer told me that you shouldn't start with stretching, that you should warm up a bit (like doing your cardio) and then stretch. If you stretch before warming up first, you risk to injure yourself.Last edited by Nostromo; May 2, 2007, 02:12.Let us be lazy in everything, except in loving and drinking, except in being lazy – Lessing
