It's funny listening to some of the folks in my industry who know what they're talking about continue to debate with the general public who are misled by bad info. in the mass media. One argument that continues to resonate laughter with me is that of long slow distance (LSD) conditioning versus interval training. I heard someone at a seminar speak last spring about how he asked a client "are you looking for the emaciated look or a lean, toned body that actually looks you do strength training and cardio?" His client, of course, chose the latter- particularly after being shown the above picture.
When you think about it, the speaker was right. If you want that emaciated look, keep doing all long distance cardio and no weight training and see how "soft" you continue to look. I'll take my intervals and total body strength training any day of the week. Think about it when you look at your workout program. You can save yourself some serious time, and body fat, if you hit the cardio a little harder and push yourself in the weight room.
