In your view, how important is "cardio" -- cardiovascular exercise -- in maintaining a high level of fitness?

Karas' "Cardio-Free Diet" does include resistance training, and readers comment that "their heart is still getting a good workout. " I can agree with the premise that the treadmill doesn't 'consume' enough calories to affect your weight directly (or not much), and that resistance training builds larger muscles that are more metabolically "hungry". But looking at the title of the book, one could easily assume that aerobic exercise is unimportant.

What about HEALTH and cardiovascular fitness -- body fat levels aside? I'd be interested to hear different views on this. Asked by kittykat11 46 months ago Similar questions: view important cardio cardiovascular exercise maintaining high level fitness Health > Fitness & Diet.
