But is that working your cardio? I consider cardio moving at a fast pace, not 2 mph.

you can consider cardio what ever you want, but for fatloss yes it is working just like cardio, for heart health....same.

Grab two 35# plates, one in each hand

Looking forward to jackasses leaving 35# plates in the cardio area. At my gym the cardio area is on the 2nd level.

Lol. No doubt.

Foresee lots of baws falling off treadmills and busting their shins with 35# plates too.

My arse gonna start with some 10's at 15% incline

I used to walk on the treadmill with 135 on a barbell at 10 level incline. Then they changed the rules at the gym because people were complaining they couldn't use the two treadmills next to mine. Total horseshite

Wouldn't dumbbells be easier?

I actually like the way plates feel in my hand and they are slender so they don’t hit your thighs. Certainly no reason why you couldn’t use dumbbells though.

I think I had the idea to use plates because I didn’t want to hog the one set of 35 dumbbells for so long.

thanks to PPSA i've introduced a lot of carries into my routines and it was a total game changer

if you workout at home or someplace where you can get outside, look up kettlebell mile. or just go grab some 20lbs cheap dumbbells from wal mart and start doing it.

I put 40 pounds of dumbbells in an old playmate ice chest and use that for over head presses, dead lifts and carrie's.

I've added farmers walks into my frequency method pullups and pushups. Every hour for 8 hours, after the pullups and pushups, I grab 50lb dumbbells and walk 160 feet. Which adds up to almost a quarter mile a day of farmers walks.
