redax Posted September 3, 2007 Share Posted September 3, 2007 You'll have to take into consideration efficiency of the workout and the nature of people. In calories per hour based on calculations of caloriesperhour.com, a 150 lb person loses the following calories per hour: lifting weights moderately, 204 calories; walking at 3.5 miles per hour, 259 calories; jogging, 476 calories. In any gym I've been to, there were always more people working out aerobically longer than lifting weights, specially the females. One thing important about a workout is that it would be a lot better if you're having fun doing it. It would probably be safe to say that playing badminton, tennis, basketball, volleyball and other ball games is a lot more fun than lifting weights for a lot of people. Except for bodybuilders, I doubt if there are other people who train exclusively by lifting weights. I would have to say it would be difficult to sustain an all weight training regimen for most people. Quote Link to comment

Don't forget to mention the EPOC or the afterburn rather than just what you burn during the workout. I never said that you should lift weights exclusively, but if done properly, this can prepare you for any other physical activities. T be perfectly honest, I have never met anyone who lost a significant amount of weight and kept it off by just doing pure cardio. Quote Link to comment
redax Posted September 3, 2007 Share Posted September 3, 2007 In Fitness First and Slimmers there are, they're middle aged women and more mature who religiously do aerobics and don't venture to the weight area. Quote Link to comment
Olympus Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 In Fitness First and Slimmers there are, they're middle aged women and more mature who religiously do aerobics and don't venture to the weight area. True that and sadly, these women never keep the weight off. We had a group of middle aged women like that and only one of them lifted weights religiously, and the one who lifted lost the most amount of weight Quote Link to comment
rockybrawler Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 (edited) @OlympusI'm planning to do stair climbing in a high rise condo for cardio. Please help me with some pointers or links to a program for me to follow. Thanks. Edited November 21, 2007 by rockybrawler Quote Link to comment

invincibleplayah Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 Interesting thread. A lot of useful info. Checked out the http://www.bodyforlife.com/exercise/cardiotraining.asp site that oneof the first few posters added. A friend of mine has already told me about it and has been egging me on to shape up.In any case, how can you customize HIIT? How do you mix it with weights and how do you determine if Im not over-exerting myself on the first try (which can lead to injury or sickness, further delaying the constant workouts) Anyways, hope someone can elaborate. :goatee: Quote Link to comment

I would suggest doing it twice a week at most after lifting weights. Quote Link to comment

Well, I'm not in the best shape of my life, and a heck of a long time since I've lifted weights. Can't I start with HIIT first before I use weights since I'm not sure if I can do so in my poor physical condition. Quote Link to comment

That is why it is best you have someone knowledgeable to start you off. Quote Link to comment

hottlipss Posted December 21, 2007 Share Posted December 21, 2007 (edited) I'm out of shape and I started with Slim in 6 videos and enjoyed it so much I bought the other follow up video and the family of Power 90, Turbo Jam, Hip Hop Abs, Winsor Pilates and my recent purchase The Firm. I love them! And for someone who hates working out, these are so much fun that I look forward to doing them everyday...kung minsan 2x a day pa....kahit hatinggabi na nagwowork out pa din ako.I like that I can change my routine everyday with all the variety of workouts. If I don't have time, I do the Slim in 6 or just the abs or legs...any target area for about 10 to 20 mins. The Firm combines cardio and sculpting (with weights) and great workout. A great cardio work out for me is something that is easy to follow and motivating. Kung mahirap follow yungsteps then mapa=frustrate lang ako. I have to enjoy it, not be boring but it has to have variety and some degree of challenge/difficulty. Edited December 22, 2007 by hottlipss Quote Link to comment

earpopeye Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 cycling, the ultimate calorie killer...kahit braso mo pagpapawisan I agree...you can aslo try the Stepper.... but of course any cardio machines will actually do. If you don't have time, I suggest you do fast and more intense cardio such as threadmill.... like doing a sprint. Even with short distances but with speed will already do wonders. But of course do not forget to do a warmup.... Quote Link to comment

Overdoing it is an understatement. Quality over quantity Quote Link to comment
Intelligence Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 actually compared to the national team (where i used to train), we used to do some jogging/sprinting sessions every morning.in the afternoon, its either we hit the gym and pump some iron or we do our own training and sparring session.in the evening, this is where we have our intense training and sparring sessions. so i think that i'm actually doing lesser than what i used to do. i'm not sure if i got it correctly but going through this thread, i've come to a conclusion that we are actually doing an over practice and hindering further muscle development.
