I hooped for 3 hours yesterday. It's definitely the most fun form of cardio. I would hoop all day every day if I didn't have bills to pay.

Also if you count calories and eat light+ lift you shed weight like sheep shed wool

Im actually trying to do track workouts a lot more

I think the treadmill is best because with basketball you're not running the entire time. Even tho basketball is far more fun.

Probably running.

But if you're winning games and having fun on the court you may burn more simply because it's more enjoyable and you'll want to play longer.

Personally I prefer to ball.

Do both honestly.

It's good to run just to get that steady burn. Basketball shape is different than running shape, but if you run outside or even on the treadmill, the change to playing hoops won't be as shocking to your body.

You should not count playing sports has cardio, keep it in the same category has sex breh

Basketball is a great warm up to a session though

Running is a completely different monster as far as cardio goes..

Basketball is superior and it's a total body workout from your brain to your feet. If you have a run tracker like argus keep your phone in pocket next time you ball and see how far you go. I remember playing half court few years ago and checking argus and in one game of 4s to 15 I had ran a mile and some change in no time. I do constantly move when playing though
