Olympus Posted May 29, 2007 Share Posted May 29, 2007 Houston. I do go to a gym. Had programs made up for me by a trainer. I have to get over my cardio addiction methinks. Id be very, very grateful for all the advice, help, suggestions you can give me. Houston has a lot of good gyms... Now, maybe you can do a research on Escalating Density Training and then ask questions after... this will surely kick your cardio habits Quote Link to comment
burn4me Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 i'm trying a power circuit to fire up fat-loss engine for only twice a week. If my time is limited and i want ot maximize results. One great way to do this is to perform two to three total body workouts per week.. Quote Link to comment

Now, maybe you can do a research on Escalating Density Training and then ask questions after... this will surely kick your cardio habits Simply put EDT means doing more reps with a heavier weight given a certain amount of time each time you work out. If so, would it work then if I took my current program and did increasing weights / increasing reps and dividing my work out into the time zones of 15 minutes each? Taking it forward it would mean that each time I work out, I do either more reps or use more weight in that 15 minute zone? Am I understanding all this and interpreting it correctly??? Im confused.

Those two or you do the same amount of work you previously did in a shorter amount of time. Quote Link to comment

Wyld Posted June 2, 2007 Share Posted June 2, 2007 Those two or you do the same amount of work you previously did in a shorter amount of time. Got that ... in a way thats whats been happening to me. When I do my circuit -- I do three sets of 20 each exercise and it used to take me an hour to do that ... now I notice a decrease in time down to 45 minutes. Is that, in a manner of speaking, EDT?

Not really... and your reps are too high which means you are not using enough weight.... you definitely got to do EDT as it was made. high reps do not burn fat and do not increase your metabolic rate.
