I wouldn't have thought so, since grease the groove is about increasing strength on a particular exercise rather than increasing heart rate and burning fat.

    You need to be more clear Georgie. Wink

    Cardio = cardiovascular fitness. So yes, it would work but it would be limited.

    I'm guessing you meant overall endurance. Which yes, it would slowly. But pretty soon you wouldn't be doing 1/2 your maximum, you'll be doing 1/3 without realising it! So you'd have to slowly up mileage and test max regularly (every few weeks).
