In this Portuguese‑language video excerpt, the presenter debunks the common fitness myth that “the more cardio you do, the better” for fat loss. He explains that while cardio does burn calories, the key is sustainable, consistent cardio rather than excessive daily sessions. He recommends a realistic, maintainable amount—about 20 minutes per day—for most people. He contrasts this with his own past as a competitive athlete who performed up to three hours of cardio plus strength training daily, noting that such volume is not appropriate for the general population. The speaker also mentions that his understanding evolved after studying psychoanalysis and exercise physiology, which helped him view clients more holistically and apply evidence‑based strategies. The overall message is that cardio should be tailored to individual capacity and integrated into a balanced program, not pursued obsessively.
