In this episode the guys break down how cardio keeps getting rebranded with new names and logos while staying the same activity underneath. They cover cozy cardio, Japanese walking, the 666 walk, the 3-2-8 method, the fart walk, retro walking, zone two, rucking, High Rocks, Orange Theory and F45, the hot girl walk and the 8000 steps data — explaining what each one is, who it is actually good for, and why none of them are the best tool for the body composition goals most people are actually chasing. They also break down the winning formula for how to think about cardio: activity for health versus endurance for performance versus strength training for aesthetics.
