WHY SOME PEOPLE HATE CARDIO WHILE OTHERS LOVE IT 

I trust this guy. He teaches while holding a staff. Clearly he’s a wise wizard

I'm part of these people who love cardio, and I never thought about it that way, but that's true: I can spend 40-50 min just running on the treadmill and it won't be boring because I have so much stuff to think about at this time, and as the blood circulates faster when you run, it's actually the best time to come up with some new ideas or plans.

This is true and should have wayyyyy more views

This is so bloody true i cant believe he hit the nail on the head

This guy is quickly becoming in my opinion the top 5 best gurus of all time. Everything he says is real, is legit. He's also very smart.

I literally hate cardio. But here i am on a stationary bike , sweating and having discovered your channel. I just see it as time i can browse youtube.

Never saw it that way but this actually makes sense

I feel so validated. I cannot describe to you how viscerally frustrated I become when I’m stuck on an elliptical or treadmill running. Walking outside? Love it. There’s stimulus. But I’m telling you I would rather stick needles in my face than do that. Your descriptions made me laugh! Type 1 matches me perfectly 😅

The way you presented this was hilarious, man I died laughing.

This dude drops jewels. I’m definitely the type to live in my head to not realize how fucking “boring” cardio is

That explains so much. I used to do alot of cardio, and enjoyed it. It relaxes me so much. The part about thinking during cardio is so true. The only reason I don't do it anymore is the concern of losing gains, since I've been lifting. I also have no interest in competition, only in self improvement.

I never thought of this topic in this way! I'm an avid cyclist and am content riding for hours (or days) and I find it helps me sort out my thoughts and just think better overall! I do tend to have long conversations in my brain with myself, haha. Very insightful topic sir!

I hate cardio. Which is why when it starts to become comfortable doing it then I know it’s time to push harder

Spot on for type 3 👍🏻 I enjoy a long cardio session, it gives me time to think, imagine and be in my head.

This is so accurate, I love cardio despite my big frame and it helps calm my anxiety and my brain.

this guy is just amazing... i realy love this guy ! special informùations he give !!!!

"They are living in their head while doing cardio so they never get bored." True.

Why do i have attributes from both sides? I can create movies in my mind all day but hate cardio. Im pretty anxious but can lift heavy everyday

I came to see his opinion as I love cardio. He did a character assassination on me😂

That's why as a former tennis player turned physique competitor, I used to do well on energy systems work cos it was intense & competitive, now I lift but do 0 cardio and only do tabata

Bruh, solid content. Not just generic bullshit "people are different." Binge watching you channel while I got my first bench meet in 2 weeks for insight about peaking.

You described me. Very anxious and good at LISS cardio

Oh my, he described me perfectly as someone who loves his running.

I am introverted and anxious and yet I hate cardio, I only love the energetic feeling I get at the end but I absolutely hate it, I struggle to keep up with it

I remember my friend wrote a report about some mathematician, who came up with the idea to divorce his wife during a bike a ride and said it was odd to think of such things while biking. BRUH, I think about the entire damn world when biking, that's the exact time I'd think about divorce lol.

I always thought of it to be the opposite. I find people with high anxiety don’t have the patience for long cardio.

Omg. Love this clip. I’m an introvert with chronic pain secondary to ehlers danlos syndrome. I love doing MISS cardio. It’s meditative for me and helps my chronic pain levels due to endorphin release. This is the time I use daily to watch RU-vid videos, phone calls, scheduling, emails, research, reading, etc… I do about an hour in the morning and 90min in the evening. Also do full body strength training 3x/week.

Yup, perfect description. My mind effectively has no off switch, and I can ride a bike for hours on end and enjoy every minute. Century bike rides are becoming a norm for me, and my only limiter is my gut dealing with the sports nutrition.

I love Christian. He's so funny and puts a lot of energy into his messages.

I'm an introvert and I HATE every second of a run over about 100 feet. It's simply a miserable activity. But I can walk for hours or go for a long bike ride and it doesn't bother me at all. Walking is so relaxing that I don't even consider it to be cardio. But even 5 minutes on an elliptical trainer or rower feels like an eternity and I count every second until I get to stop. #CardioSucks

I understand what you are saying and agree with it in principle. However, I also think there can also be an ebb & flow. What I need during each day might be different. I have always enjoyed cardio. Cardio was always a mood regulator for me and still is. But I see it more for brain and heart health. Having said that, there are some days when I kind of don't feel like it. With resistance training there is an amazing sense of achievement, a different kind of enjoyment. I enjoy both in different ways. Thank you for your presentation. it was great.

Is this albert einstein re incarnated meathead? 😁👌

I love running and weight lifting 💪🏽🏃🏽‍♀️🏋🏽‍♀️

3:43: yes!

I'm introverted, very quiet, and love routine, but also adventure as long as I can have a fair amount of control/predictability/safety. I usually see a lot of possible dangers, where most people seem to see fun. For example, a tropical beach and blue ocean and coral reefs. Well, I think there has got to be sharks everywhere, even if none can be seen. Also, what if there's something lurking in the sand, or what else is there in the water? This stops me from doing a lot of things. I'd be somewhere off to the side or in the background observing. My first sort of athletic activity was running (of course). I didn't get bored doing that activity at all. I stopped running, though, because of an overuse injury. I then learned running for long distances is prone to overuse injuries and so I don't see it as healthy at all and I don't miss running for long distances. I overused a quad tendon and that was very annoying: tendinitis (hint: rest will make it worse). Otherwise, I'd still be running races, I think. However, my steady-state 'cardio' of choice now is walking, which I do see as healthy. I can do this for hours and not get bored at all. This is indeed because I am the sort of person who thinks up stories all the time, such as imaginary girlfriends, hahah. I walk outside the gym. To me, a treadmill is artificial and thus not my cup of tea. If I were to believe in its effectiveness of, say, becoming more healthy, I'd for sure walk on a treadmill and not get bored. Even if the gym were to be devoid of people and deathly quiet, I'd still run or walk on a treadmill and not get bored. Now, as you will probably see coming, I HATE such activities as a typical Crossfit WOD. Anything that gets my heart rate way up is something I don't like. When I first started lifting weights, I started doing so under the eye of a personal trainer. That was fine. It was slow-paced and highly controlled. I questioned the exercises and worried about how to execute them perfectly before even doing them. I then went on to join small-group training, and I dreaded it. I hated every second of it. Since, I have never even took part in something like that again. I'm also by nature highly anxious and particularly in social environments. Your description makes a lot of sense and I now think my character is not like there's something terribly wrong with me per se. Maybe there is, but it's more common apparently. As I do suffer from my own worries and such and am very susceptible to an increase in stress, I had myself tested, and I went to psychologists. I may have this anxiety thing in a strong form. Anyway, as this is the internet, I'm not going into full depth here, but I got to hear it's Asperger's Syndrome, but only after another psychologist said I'm not autistic, just socially anxious. Well, I guess everyone could be stamped with some sort of label or other, definitely if you keep looking for answers; and it sure pays for the psychologists and whole industry around them. I never went on medication, but this was recommended me a few times. It is big business to label people and have them swallow pills and be a victim. I love strength training, which I started doing myself right away after first encountering it courtesy of that personal trainer. I decide what I do, how may times, how heavy, and how. I am told my execution of the lifts is very good and that I seem to know exactly what I am doing, as I always bring a book and pen and have things thought out in advance. I wish I had discovered this much earlier in life, like in high school, which is when I was bullied for being weak and different. I read books and went to catch frogs and newts after school. Looking back is easy and 20/20, but I can picture a story in which I learned much earlier to take care of my body, to challenge myself physically, to persevere, and to build some muscle. The things I learn lifting weights are perfectly applicable to the rest of my life. It's the same principle: set goals, have a plan, be consistent, change the plan when necessary, keep learning, do the hard stuff to grow mentally and physically, et cetera. It's too bad most of the so-called fitness world is filled with ego-tripping and douchebags and just general stupidity. This is also why I can't yet picture myself working as a personal trainer, because I have zero interest in lying to people and making them do stupid stuff, which most trainers are dooing, I am convinced of it. Even if they may think they're helping, in most cases trainers are just making their clients move a bit, get them into a sweat, and have them feel good about themselves; and that's fine, okay. It's just not what interests me. Also, really good gyms are very hard to find. Most gyms are money-making machines and cater to the lowest common denominator and deliberately want to keep it like that. Maybe I am overthinking again... End rant.

This is me to a T. I love cardio and have anxiety and trouble sleeping. Where as my girlfriend can sleep right away, very good under pressure and refuses to run. Although she likes swimming.

Great points! Also, Neural adaptation can move you to either side of the spectrum.

I can do both. Lift heavy and run 8-10 miles the next day. I’m 51/49 introverted/extroverted so pretty middle of the road. I could see some truth to what you’re saying though, I’m just in that rare category that can swing both ways 🤣

that was amazing explanation!

I love everything from coach Thibaudeau has made that I put my hands on so far....but I can't seem to fit. I freaking hate cardio and always have, and I'm totally into extreme sports such as climbing, high speed motorcicle riding and so on. But on the other hand I'm not confident and extrovert at all.

I hate cardio and have also a bad running endurance, getting tired very fast and in my head i'm thinking of quiting after 10 minutes. But my endurance at playing sports like tennis is very good. Now i know why.

When a zombie apocalypse comes, I'll be Ostrich Man.

I'm shook because you just described me as if you read my mind,and I love cardio. T_T

Everything he saying is true for me except. Even though my brain goes crazy I don’t really prefer an exact schedule! I actually prefer doing different things at different times every day!

thats why doctors recommend intense/long cardio for people with depression and anxiety in the UK...

Not true for me or my sister. Her brain never shuts off and she can't sleep at night and she hates cardio. I'm the opposite and love both high intensity training and steady state cardio...and we are both introverts but have to be super extroverts with our careers. I'm super competitive and she is not. There has to be something on a physiological level that explains this better

I've got an 1-a loud personality but also love cardio and can switch off during, making a movie etc

No doubt , he knows what he is saying

I don’t know if this is true, but I’m very high anxiety and I love steady state cardio. Training for my first marathon swim and loving it. And my brain does a ton of fun stuff while I’m swimming - and my anxiety is better. 😂

Nailed me to a T, Coach! 👌

"...So they don't realize its fucking boring!...." LMAO! You get a like just for that line!

I am the typical chill out, confidence guy that loves extreme and contact sports and used to hate cardio. Yes, it could be 2 min running and I started to want to kill someone. One day, watching philosophy videos I saw one video talking about the taoist meditation. It is a meditation that begins like a mindfulness one and you try to imagine that every stimulus that comes, like an sound, it is something positive. In the first session I was surprised that my brain transformed the sound of a motocycle accelariting into a sound of someone laughing. At the end of it I was extremely happy. Then I tried to apply this prínciple to cardio and worked so well that I started enjoy it. It is like a challenge to trick your mind to be happy in a really disconfort situation. But I still prefer doing HIIT and sprinting :)

I have the perfect description of the second type of person but I still hate cardio. I love lifting weights and playing my sport (hockey) but doing cardio is a freakin chore. I can do 10 sets of squats but cardio 🤢🤢🤢🤢

LMAO at the campfire example 😂😂😂

lol what... I really enjoyed your videos before this but this is honestly total bro science. Not a single study mentioned, just your own theory about how alpha males like you don’t like cardio. I’m extremely extroverted and love cardio just as much as I love weights

I do intense cardio for an hour not low intensity cardio

Damn it I laughed good few times during this video 😂 the camp fire 😂

Love to jump rope... call me a sociopath but I love it

I love cardio it feels like this guy is describing me like for real

Weight training or the practice of picking up heavy things and putting it down is boring.

I have anxiety and depression and cardio helps ease my mind and not think to much but I love lifting so i love doing both lmao

Interesting perspective. I wish I was extroverted, I'm introverted, but hate cardio. I'm cool under pressure and would say I have pretty low anxiety, I just hate the asthma like feeling from jogging long distances as well as my breath smells like ammonia. I just google'd this and it turns out the ammonia like smell is actually from burning muscle. Fuck cardio

So, what happens if someone has ADHD, i.e. calm under pressure, and enjoys cardio? None of this makes sense: it's always nuanced. Tired of seeing gym rats turned pseudo-psychologists claim that this is what you're doing/doing wrong with no basis in science or fact.

I really really hate cardio I have a cousin that invites me to the park to run and I'm like boooooooring!!!!!

I have ptsd i go on anxity meds and to me even walking is boring because almost no hard training feels pleasurable so i am the introverted person yet i fall into the other category so your pretty much wrong generalizing like this

Psychotherapist perspective: I don't think this is true at all. Introverts and not more anxious/stressed than extraverts, there are many cool chill introverts in their heads. Extraverts need stimulation, they don't get over stimulated. Physical stimulation is processed the same as psychological stimulation. Cardio is highly stimulation, makes deep thought harder, and it's for a prolonged time... Extraverts are more likely to endure cardio, Introverts are more likely to hate it. That's my theory and personal experience.

Ohhh, such a relief! Thank you so much for the video. I enjoy physical trainings so much but I hate cardio

I don't know.bout that I hate cardio and I'm very anxious and over thinker lol

I do HIIT you are taking about cardio for beginners and cardio is far from a walk in the park

I rather use a bicycle or play basketball for cardio.... Treadmill is boring for me.

Yes it's so boring I even don't want to warm up ten fucking minutes with running and then during the training I think that I should have....

hate cardio but I still do it...

🏃‍♀️ 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️

5:0me when doing cardio😂

Lmao. That ain’t true just because it’s stale doesn’t make it boring. I enjoy doing 20 minutes cardio. Why cause I’m pushing myself to my limit in every exercise I perform. There is no movie or imagination playing my head and I’m not an anxious person, who follows a schedule. My workout routine is all over the place.

Your so wrong generalizing like this...according to myself your view is wrong only one place you almost were true to my experience and its mental maybe more then physical

Load of bs, people hate cardio because vo2max and great endurance is not as visible and as strong a postive feedback compared to weight training. If steady state is too boring, go do 10x400m tempo runs at 95 percent exertion, activate those neurons as your mind screams: I AM DYING

My brain hurts

Err... This seems extremely speculative...

Is it at all possible to change from the neurotype that obviously sucks a$$ into the other? I dont want to be the fVcking overthinker who enjoys being 100lb and run marathons

1:43 fake weights
