Wowiezzzy Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 Started yesterday with my morning jogging routine on an empty stomach and this morning just some brisk walking planning to alternate jogging and walking is this a good idea to prevent over training and preventing muscle loss? I do 20 min cardio everytime im in the gym but will be replacing with the morning jogging routine what im afraid is ill be loosing muscle with such because treadmill is nothing compared to the old school running what can i do to minimize muscle loss and maximize fatloss? My bodyfat now is around 9. something as what the instructor measured but i feel like 15percent bodyfat, gained some fat after a month something away from the gym lost some definition my middle abs are not that visible anymore though showing. My problem is how can i lower my bodyfat without sacrificing a lot of muscle mass dont wanna look thin wanna look really ripped with a lil symetry on the side hehehe Im on Lipo6 right now still not counting my calories hehehe but trying to be strict on my food intake after joggingMeal 1 Some oatmeal and 2eggs 1 banana Meal 2 Some oatmeal and 2eggs and veggies (boiled) Meal 3 (lunch)some veggies Meal 4(postworkout)3 eggs 1 banana Meal 5veggies and egg Meal 6(before sleeping)1 scoop whey My workout is week 1 compound (bench etc)week 2 isolation every other week deadlift Quote Link to comment

Shootsin22 Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 been doing at least 3x20 of hindu push up thrice a week in the morning... it seems ok naman. Quote Link to comment
Shootsin22 Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 I think best time to make your effort more effective is when you woke up each morning before anything else, at least once in a while try do some simple calisthenics (targetting abs would be better) till your adrenalin rushes in...

di3s3l_pow3r Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 personally, boxing (training) is the best cardio exercise. work-out phasing is demanding but doable - bell rings every 3 minutes (work out) then 30 seconds (rest) intervals. normal routines covers the upper body (shoulders, back, chest and arms), lower body (hips, thighs and calves) and abs. most of the elorde gyms have weights area... so if you still have the energy after 12-15 rounds, you can always pump up your muscles for a couple of sets more. lat pull down is the best after boxing... it stretches the back and shoulders. :thumbsupsmiley: Quote Link to comment
WayneTruce Posted April 12, 2008 Share Posted April 12, 2008 30 minute high intensity cardio. If you can separate the schedule for Cardio and Weight Training the better. Quote Link to comment

abercrombie Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 I like the elliptical machine for around 20 minutes at least 4 times a week. Longer if i'm trying to lose weight. :thumbsupsmiley: I know I should go longer, but I'm a puss... Quote Link to comment

Its actually more productive to increase the intensity rather than increasing the time Quote Link to comment

id6230 Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 Anything that keeps your body moving is always good cardio. Maybe you notice that "hyper-people" are generally slim and fit. Quote Link to comment
Shambala Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 For me the BEST WAY to really achieve good, over all conditioning is to CRoss TRain. AM sure most, if not every1 here knows what CRoss TRaining is. VARIETY is the spice of LIFE,..as what they say. It's fun, you work out a lot of muscle groups, its not boring, and you lessen the risks of injuries. Foe me, my week includes 3 to 4 times of Boxing, 3 times of weight training, 1 or 2 sessions of either Muay THai or Yaw Yan,.....and in mornings, its either long distance running ( max of 2x a week), interval running( with lotz of sprints n drills) or simply going to the nearby basketball court . I also join some "body Combat" and "Body Attack" work outs at Ftiness 1st. VARIETY,..VARIETY ,.....VARIETY,..........so that you won;t get sawa sa work out mo :thumbsupsmiley: Quote Link to comment
DMC Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 BASKETBALL is a very easy way of doing cardio! and its fun too!! Quote Link to comment
WyldBlueYonder Posted May 12, 2008 Share Posted May 12, 2008 High Interval Training - HIT Get on a treadmill and run as fast as you can - set it at 11 kph and you'll hold it for 1 minute. Reduce it to 5.5 kph for a minute and switch back to 11 after a minute, then 5.5 - keep doing this for twenty minutes. You'll be getting twice the burn since your metabolism is still working really hard during your down time. You can also do something similar on a spinning bike - sit and pedal hard for a minute, then stand and grind out a slower minute - switch up and you'll be covered in sweat faster than a spa girl can shed her panties.

Swiper Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 swimming for 30mins does it for me. I alternate it w/ my strength training. One day swimming, next day workout. Quote Link to comment

id6230 Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 my buff friend tells me that doing cardio is useless because you'll eat it up again after..whats the best way to lose some pounds?The formula is quite simply. Executing it is another matter. The calories you take in (eat) should be less than the calories you spend. In theory, if you have a calorie intake of 2000 and you spend 3000 calories then you should be losing about 15-20 pounds a month. Quote Link to comment
