Cardio isn't the health move most people think it is

Why people still believe this: Cardio burns calories while you're doing it, so it feels like it's working. The fitness industry also made billions selling treadmills, spin classes, and marathon culture. That story sticks because it's profitable. (2/4)

What the research actually says: Strength training raises your resting metabolic rate for hours after you're done. It spikes testosterone and growth hormone, both of which matter a lot for focus and decision-making. Studies show that resistance training twice a week cuts all-cause mortality risk more than cardio alone. (3/4)

What to do: Hit compound lifts two or three times a week. Use short, intense cardio as a side tool, not the main event. Your body and brain need muscle to actually perform.
