Hi Everyone,
I am completely detrained...nearly 39 years old, 5'8.5", about 200 lbs, 30% bodyfat.
It is winter here; so, I want to slowly get back into shape, time allowing.
1. I already know the order of priority:
a. Diet
b. Resistance Training
c. Formal Cardio
d. NEAT (Walking around at work)
2. Right now, I just want to start with walking 7x a week on the treadmill. Realistically, I will be tired or busy, so it probably will be 5x a week, 30-60 minutes each time.
Is there anything wrong or detrimental with that?
3. I know many traditional lifters speak about cardio being detrimental. But, that interference seems untrue at moderate levels.
But, that usually is for being like established powerlifters and bodybuilders trying to do marathon training. In their case, it does not work.
4. Any specific cardio routines people like?
I like:
Bill Philips 20 Minute HIIT (chiefly based on onr minute each at 60-70-80-90%), extended to longer, if needed.
90 Seconds rest, 30 seconds sprint; repeat for 30 minutes
90 Seconds Spring, 30 seconds rest, repeat for 30 minutes
5. Any other suggestions?
