First, let me say that the program is wonderful and you will see great results with it.
Second, it doesn't say to eliminate cardio, the book explains how you don't need to kill yourself running, spending hours on a bike...etc. The book explains how you can get all the cardio you need from strength training properly, and you can.
Remember, running, stationary bike, Stairmaster and yes, strength training are all forms of cardiovascular activity.
I love the program, I feel great and would recommend it to anyone
I do two 30+ minute sessions a week and been working very hard to eat more protein and less carbs (although it is very difficult at times) and I feel energetic (because of the fat loss) and more importantly, I feel fit!Great program -- my running has never been better! As a marathoner I thought that strength training would slow me down. Not so! After doing Slow burn I was able to shave minutes off of my runs and feel stronger than ever. I feel great. And I've even cut down on my running (to save myelf from more injuries) and I feel as cardio-powerful as ever! Thanks Slow Burn!
I go to the gym twice a week for 30-45 minutes and have stuck to the more protein less carb plan and it has worked out great.
I don't understand these other reviews where they say the book claims that you should eliminate cardio...I didn't read that anywhere.
