So, maybe we should zoom even further out from that paragraph and look at the point of the article as a whole. I agree there are lots of problems in the article, but I agree with the basic point. That is, for muscle strength, muscle mass and muscle endurance, free weight training needs to be part of your core training program and there is no substitute. You are referring to cardiovascular training which is barely mentioned in the article. He probably shouldn't have mentioned cardio at all except he wanted to make a point that cardio machines shouldn't even be in the gym. You mention routines of running which should be anywhere from 40 minutes to 2 hours, would you do that sort of routine on a treadmill in a gym?
