This type of practice specifically,I mean. I'm wondering if this training alone is good enough for general all around health.
The reason I ask this is because...lets take Weight training,for example. These days,it is acknowledged by the scientific community that this is great for health,but that doesn't mean this alone is enough. You still have to do "Cardio". Even if you train at a high rep range,weight training apparently cannot replace cardio.
I'm personally not a fan of typical cardio exercise. I generally don't use the stationary bike or treadmill at the gym except for warming up. I personally let the combat sports (Boxing/Muay Thai currently in my case) training serve as my cardio/conditioning. Its benefitted me greatly in that regard. I think most Martial Arts enthusiasts in general (I can't speak for this forum,haha) share how I feel in this regard.
Of course,I am probably gonna have to change my tone if I want to ever want to compete one day in the combat sports I train,but that's something I'll think about later on.
I'm wondering if just this training alone suffices for your "cardiovascular health needs". Will you be missing anything health-wise if this is the only physical activity you engage in?
