You see it at the gym every day. Guys are sweating it out, pumping the

bulging. But what about the most important muscle in your body - the

If they are sweating it out, do you honestly think the heart isn't being
trained?

Agreed, and if you're in need of additional cardio for whatever reason,
it can be very brief, as Tabata and others have demonstrated. As I've
mentioned a few times here, I do a minute or two, literally, of
kettlebell swings or snatches most days at the end of my workout, and by
the often-cited measure of resting pulse, I'm fitter than I was in my
days as a run/bike/swim guy. At my age, when your resting pulse is
lower than your age, you're doing good.
