#1: Taken to extremes, aerobics can enlarge your heart, which is a dangerous condition if you have undiagnosed arterial disease. It is also believed that, according to New York City cardiologist Dr. Henry Solomon, "that a fanatical devotion to intense aerobic exercise can lead to temporary or even long-term heart-rhythm disturbances." In his experience, overzealous runners often need pacemakers later in life.
#2: Among people over the age of 35, bicycling and running lead to 85,000 more emergency room visits than weight lifting. - U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission
#3: The metabolic effect of aerobics lasts only 30 minutes to an hour after exercise. The metabolic effect of weight training lasts up to 48 hours after exercise. This means that with weight training your body is in an increased fat burning mode for almost 2 days longer than after an aerobic workout. This is not to mention the fact that regular aerobic exercise eventually decreases your metabolism overtime.
These three facts I found in the book The Testosterone Advantage Plan by Lou Schuler and there are volumes more of others out there that show the same negative effects of aerobics and cardio. But despite all the evidence people will still try to improve their health and lose weight through aerobic activities even if the research suggests otherwise.
Live Fit,
