Cardio After Weights...

[Wilderbeast]

You burn more fat...... Now go run and get that heart rate up!

You WILL burn muscle doing HIIT if you are dieting and are severly calorie restricted. If you're on no carbs... forget about it. HIIT is asking for trouble in my opinion, UNLESS you are solely looking for fat burning effects and do not mind some muscle mass loss.

Proof? as i have read you are always using fat/carb/protien for energy

**** bro...jump rope for 5 X 3 min rounds... you wanna get some HITT training...you jump rope with weighted handles for 5 X 3 min round and you can get your heart rate up fast. To really turn it up go full on the last 30 sec of each round. I gaurentee by round 5 you'll be sweating balls.

I know I'm going to get flamed for this post, but I have to say it's a bit strange hearing 7 min treadmill sessions refered to as cardio.

Do you do longer cardio on off days?

[pinchharmonic]

Suck it up fatty . 20 minutes of cardio does wonders after a workout.

haha 20 for you. but 20 did nothing for me. once i did 40, it was night/day!

It's a file, you have to wait for the pop-up, then choose to save or open.

Eh, I have started it. Been on Havoc though and I think that has helped me prevent a lot of fat gain. 15 - 25 min usually......I use the arc machine. I love that thing.

Yeah I either use that or the elyptical (however you spell it). Depends on how close to leg day it is! :/

Walking on incline is HARD! I know a guy, and that is all the cardio he does. He competes, and diets down to about 3-4% for shows. I have done it in the past and can attest that it is more difficult than you think.

hard? sure? harder then sprinting your all out for 1 minute, with 1 minute at 5mph jog, then 1 minute all out sprint, continued for 12-15 minutes... yeah, uh, no. no comparrison.

walking is for people that don't want o man up and sprint at 11/12mph for a minute

thats why you only do it for 10-15 minutes

as if... maybe the treadmills you have dont go up on high inclines.. that... and a fast enough speed, give it time, walk properly (yes u can cheat) and your calves will burn like ****... its not that easy

[nopeace]

has anyone ever used a stepmill after?

I have to say: if you can't do at least 20-30 min at about heart rate 160 then as much muscle you may have, you are a *****. Whether you are doing fasted cardio, or normal cardio before or after your weight session, it only takes dealing with the boredom and that's it. Ellipticals and treadmills and the such are not "hard" compared to say benching 225 8 times. Suck it up men, it is good for you.

If you can barely walk at 3.5 mph at even the highest incline for 30-45 min then you need to shape up. Yes it will get your sweat on, but jesus it is not all about slinging some iron and then sitting down and reading a magazine between sets.

I don't do the same "quick cardio" after lifting, some days I do elliptical, some are incline treadmill, and others are stationary bike. Sometimes I don't use any machines and pop in my P90X cardio or plyometrics DVD. Sometimes my cardio is fasted in the morning, sometimes after lifting, it all depends on my schedule for the day and how I feel.

I don't have any scientific proof about one being better than the other. I think so long as you're doing something about your body fat (if that is the reason for the cardio) the scale and mirror will tell you if it is working or not.

...yeah, but are we getting on a treadmill for cardio... for getting our heart rate up and burning fat... or are we looking for calve developement?

walking on a incline can give you a great cardio workout, and can really help burn fat and keep you in ketosis. Long distance running can knock you out of it. Its obvious you've never done it long enough to see the great results you can get from it.
