Ben Greenfield and a guest argue running isn't necessary for cardio. Kettlebell swings, especially in HIIT workouts, deliver the same cardiorespiratory and body-composition gains as sprinting without the impact.

Hey, this is Ben Greenfield. I thought you'd like this little clip of my latest podcast.
I love this kind of stuff. Anything that shifts the paradigm, like the cultural paradigm, away from having to go for a run. Like when somebody says they want to do some, some high intensity or even just cardio, the first thing everybody always defaults to is going for a run and saying no. There's so many more ways to do it.
Yeah, exactly.
So I love this kind of stuff.
I don't want to tell you the number of times where I've had a sore knee or sore hip or a beat up back and running really wasn't an option. You know, knowing I can just step into the gym and do, let's say kettlebell swings, right? Non impact to get the heart rate up. But there was a similar study done on kettlebell swings a couple years ago. Same thing. You do a high intensity interval training session with kettlebell swings and it simulates the same cardiorespiratory and body composition changes as doing sprint. So there you have it.
And you don't even have to go to a gym again. You can use a backpack or something like that.
