2957: Cardio Rebranded | Why Every New Fitness Trend Is Just the Same Old Cardio

Sal, Adam, and Justin break down the endless rebranding of cardio, from cozy cardio to retro walking, explaining what each trend actually is and who it's meant for. They argue that most of these fads are just walking or low-intensity steady-state exercise repackaged with catchy names, and that cardio is rarely the best tool for body composition. The real formula, they say, is using activity for health, endurance for performance, and strength training for aesthetics.
