I have read a bit that some guys dont like doing cardio on the treadmill or the bike or whatever.
Something I like to do for active recovery is from the Charlie Francis Training System (he's a speed coach), which is tempo runs and high rep ab work.
So an example of a typical day may look like this:
100-200 yards running at 75% intensity
And in between each run, you could do say 35 crunches or reverse crunches or leg raises etc.
Then rest 60-90 seconds, and do it again, and repeat say 6-12 times depending on the distance you are running.
Do you guys think this could be a good method for a bodybuilder and a good alternative to being on the treadmill for 30 minutes at a time?
