I heard the most stupidest thing ever yesteday. After not even 10 minutes the man stopped doing cardio and said he was going to do some weights. I polietly told him it would help him if he did a bit more. He told me that men don't have to do as much cardio as women "read any mens fitness magazine" :roleyes: That sounded like the most stupidest thing I've ever heard. (especialyl since he just quite after about 7 minutes )
So whats the truthfulness on this?

Actually, I don't know, but I doubt it very much.... Tell him you would like to see scientific evidence
I know
All he does is whine and bitch and complain about his tummy until I want to rip my own ears off, then when we get to the gym, he walks for a bit then comes back later, oh i just did 10 sets of 10 on my shoulders, the one and only machine i do here grr i'm a manly man, lets go home now :rolleyes: yes, i never whine here
I refuse to go with my boyfriend. he's been talking about joining one for months. I keep putting it off Right now though, he keeps coming up with ways out of my obsticles!
I wish I didn't, we go after work, he comes out of the locker room, t shirt, shorts, sneakers... black socks
At least if you did join it seems you'd have a motivator so you'd go!
Could anybody point me in the direction or tell me how to search for something that states that? Is it bad that I'm going out of my way to prove him wrong, its only to help!
""To reap all the benefits of a cardio workout, you should sustain your workout for 20 minutes or more"
"Do cardio four days a week for 30 minutes, and add a weight-training workout at least two times a week at 20-minute sessions,"
""You need the consistency of 20 minutes or more of an elevated pulse to ensure great results."
"If you are trying to lose fat, you need to do more cardio than if you are trying to gain weight. For fat loss, three to five times per week at 20 to 40 minutes per session is plenty. Start conservatively if you are just starting training, e.g. three times per week, 20 minutes per session."
That goes for both men and women.
