![]() However, it’s nothing compared to what I burn playing Virtual Smash for 30…not even close.Īnd comparing a 5-minute HIIT vs a 45-minute Xbox tennis session, well, all I can say is that apparently, he’s never really tracked it before. Now, you can burn quite a few calories over the span of five minutes. Having done this myself, I know that he’s full of shit. His suggestion is 20 seconds of max intensity, then a 20-second cooldown in intervals over the span of five minutes.Īccording to V Shred, you can burn more calories in five minutes than you can by doing steady-state cardio for 45. 5 Minutes of HIIT AlternativeĪfter making his argument against steady-state cardio, V Shred brings up doing a 5-minute blast of HIIT every day. ![]() In fact, there are several reasons for doing steady-state cardio that go beyond just losing fat. The main difference whether you lose weight or not is what you eat in addition to those activities. Technically, anything that can elevate your heart rate is considered cardio activity. Hell, just joining a city sports league, bowling team, or Topgolf tournament can increase your cardio for the day. There are all kinds of ways you can make exercise fun. This is why I push for gamifying fitness. It’s all a matter of perspective and what you find engaging. Some people love running, others get into throwing themselves in front of the Xbox for 30 minutes. However, most people who maintain their physique enjoy the exercises they perform. Next, our antagonist pushes the idea that any steady-state cardio exercise is “horrible.” Now, there is a bit of truth behind this as not everyone is going to view the same activity as fun. Either, a) V Shred is a moron and has not clue what he’s talking about, or b) he’s purposely lying in order to sell his product.īut what of a third option? Perhaps he’s both. When I’m playing the Xbox or using the Bodyblade, I burn 300 calories in half that timeframe. In addition to the 45-minute point, he claims you’re only going to burn 300 calories. The more they make you think you can achieve instant results with their programs or products, the more money they make. This is how most fitness influencers make their money, to be honest. ![]() Even if it were true, which it isn’t if you put any kind of effort into an activity, he’s playing on the need for instant gratification. In reality, I can hit peak cardio in less than 5 minutes depending on the activity.īut let’s not gloss over the fact that he thinks it takes 45 minutes to get in a good workout. Why Isn’t Steady-State Cardio Good for You According to V Shred?įirst off, Vince claims that steady-state cardio isn’t good because it can take up to 45 minutes to get in a good session. For example, running for 15 minutes would be considered steady-state cardio. What is steady-state cardio in V Shred’s eyes? Well, it’s when you prolong an activity to remain in a constant state of burning calories. In reality, I do both steady-state and forms of HIIT workouts. And obviously, he doesn’t cite any information or studies to demonstrate his point. After losing 80 pounds myself, I have to say that this is utter nonsense. Part 1: Stop Doing Steady-State CardioĪpparently, V Shred believes that steady-state cardio is bad and that if you want to burn body fat, you should stop doing it. ![]() Let’s see if you can guess where?Īnyway, I think I’ll tackle each of the major points from this video one-by-one so you can get an idea about how V Shred is inspiring me to accomplish some goals. And just like Simon, I’ve been triggered.Īnd there is a moment in the video when I completely resonate with Simon. I stumbled across a video from Simon Miller today, someone I watch quite often, actually.
