Anybody here jog?

[abolish the weak]

I know that popular consensus says not to run or jog, its bad on the knees and will take your target heart rate too high. But lately I've been jogging for 30 min 3-4x/wk and I'm looking/feeling so much better. It has not bothered my knees, nor took any strength from me, I'm still using 500 lbs on squats. If anything I'm stronger because it seems like more oxygen is going to my muscles and I can breath better. I know Levrone used to run, and he was a big dude. Just wondering if anybody else does?

Used to..........

It kills my knees when i do it now, then again i'm 295 not 225 anymore. I think it is great if your body can handle it. You need good cardiovascular health to help keep you healthy. Not all cardio should be low intensity imo. Yes running and high intensity cardio can be catabolic, but that is the price you pay for long term health. I love hit cardio, sprint for a 1/4 mile then walk 1/4, sprint, then walk, obviously you can vary the distances.
