I love cardio but hate weights Going for walks or runs, at least it also gets me out the house haha. Here are my weekly exercise goals: 5 days cardio 2 days isolated arms 2 days isolated legs 3 days isolated abs I have no problem with the cardio. 5 minutes for exercise. But that's not its purpose. Replies. 1. If you don't want to use weights to get stronger then you need to do body weight routines and you can get pretty damn strong that way. Im currently applying to departments in Canada and aiming to build more muscle and maintain my fitness. Now I do 40mim weekly cardio (I hate cardio) and tho it’s not enough I perform soooo much better during my weightlifting sessions and I feel I do something good for my health both physically and mentally. So I will 'hate on it' if someone's goal is to lose weight, but I work on my cardio all the time (to get my cardio better tho, not to lose weight). pixixqauzaaqmydpmzakgzaiwjlhepwvlvcbubhknufrhzznhvrfysazskzdabvekhqzene
