Are Weight Lifting and Cardio a Waste of Time? — Dr. John Jaquish

How would a scientist approach getting stronger and leaner?

Is cardio getting in the way of your fat loss goals?

And do we really need things to be a struggle in order to prove that we’re smart, special, or strong?

Dr. John Jaquish is a scientist, inventor, and author of “Weight Lifting is a Waste of Time: So is Cardio, and There’s a Better Way to Have the Body You Want.” He’s very outspoken about how the fitness industry is a failure, and he believes he has the scientific data to back up his claims.

He invented the X3 home fitness product which can fit in a bag. He claims that, along with an unconventional diet, by using this thing for only 10 minutes a day you can have the body of someone who spends hours in the gym every week.

Full disclosure: I don’t own the X3 product at this time, and I was not compensated in any way for conducting this interview.
