[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not really because my higher priority is strength training right now (about 120 minutes a week). It does get me breathing hard but not sure it counts as moderate intensity cardio. I do 60 minutes of running as well, and feel more in shape (and faster) than when I was only running. I walk as much as I can fit given time and weather, which is low intensity and not a huge amount in the winter. [/quote]

I am similar. Once I started strength training I felt like it made me sooo much more fit compared to years of jogging and elliptical. [/quote]

I am the OP, and I totally agree that strength training is so important. For me they complement each other. Strength builds my power for cardio, and cardio is the fun part of my workout routine that makes the strength stuff that I don't love worth it.

It is hard to fit it all in. I am fortunate to have a flexible job and a spouse who is a supportive and good partner in terms of parenting and housework.[/quote]
