Carrying alittle extra fat what's your guys opinions I've never really done cardio before
Pretty much any exercise or sport that gets your heart rate up and is enjoyable. Walking on treadmill, HIIT, elliptical, sprints,etc! Anything will work bruhCarrying alittle extra fat what's your guys opinions I've never really done cardio before
You could do hours of tedious cardio orrrr you could just fix your diet and keep lifting. But I'm a big fan of just walkingCarrying alittle extra fat what's your guys opinions I've never really done cardio before
Incline walking better? Than regular walkingYou could do hours of tedious cardio orrrr you could just fix your diet and keep lifting. But I'm a big fan of just walking
This, I was doing HIIT twice a week, dropped it to once a week, and now just do 20-30 minutes of MISS. I must say, my legs feel so much better. Doesn't mean that HIIT shouldn't be used, just have to try and see what works.huge believer in doing whatever form of cardio doesn't hurt recovery from weight training
ditched HIIT for 20-30m LISS sessions of walking my dog, and I was recovering better and my legs are growing better
damn good avice right there...Just get out and walk .... if you don't live in a flat land area walk somewhere that allows for some incline as well. Much better than the treadmill or elliptical IMO. Sure you can walk the treadmill or elliptical set for varied terrain ..... OR you can do the same thing out in the real world and get some fresh air and experience life around you. I try and get out and walk for about an hour at least 2 times a week on my OFF days.
Boom... best realistic answerHaving a routine that you are not going to get bored with and are going to stick to is the best routine.....
Also great advice. I was 240 pounds my freshman year of high school, entering the year. I went out after school and walked around my area for 30-60 minutes everyday while having the same crappy diet. I was eating just a little less of the same crap. By the spring, I was down to 200 lbs.Just get out and walk .... if you don't live in a flat land area walk somewhere that allows for some incline as well.

That's because they ride 30-70 miles at a time, several days a week. It's not a cheap cardio option; My first bike + all the equipment cost me between $1500-1800.anyone tried road cycling all of the older guys who i know who ride the bike alot have crazy vascularity and are shredded
I run sprint/olympic triathlons, do 30-40 mile rides in addition to running/swimming and strength training; I'm 248lbs. Catabolism is only an issue if your nutrition is.road cycling is a great way to get into shape but not a great way to get big like a body builder. the typical tour de france rider isn't just geared up to perform better, they are also using PEDs to maintain size. the catabolism brought on by long cycle rides can be tremendous.
that said, if your only concern is fat loss, by all means put 10-15 miles on your road bike per day and see how fast you drop weight. it'll burn off some fat now.
Correct!!That's because they ride 30-70 miles at a time, several days a week. It's not a cheap cardio option; My first bike + all the equipment cost me between $1500-1800.

Just use the stationary bike at the gym if your only concern is fat loss.
Yea that is true. I don't want to lose my strength before my meet, so just walking is my best option.That and when cutting you are already in a catabolic state with dieting so pushing heavy cardio doesn't make sense to me personally, as I want to maintain as much muscle mass as possible.
Much debate over HIIT and low intensity cardioSprints in the back yard or on any grass field does best for me. Burn the fat keep the muscle
I got to 4% body fat by doing 2-3 fasted morning walks per week and then Hiit 4-5 times a week after weight training. The Hiit session look like this.Carrying alittle extra fat what's your guys opinions I've never really done cardio before
Agree with honest abe good diet and weights will get you to 10% bfThis thread can be summed up to. Diet>
You can do HIIT, walking, swimming, etc., but if your diet isn't on point you won't be getting anywhere. Properly dieting and weight lifting can get most to at least 10%bf with ease.
No, there's not. The EPOC and GLUT-4 expression are much higher with HIIT than with LISS. That alone makes HIIT the superior option for fat loss.Much debate over HIIT and low intensity cardio
High intensity also uses more glycogen than fat for fuel so still up for debateNo, there's not. The EPOC and GLUT-4 expression are much higher with HIIT than with LISS. That alone makes HIIT the superior option for fat loss.
Also burns far more calories than LISS both in the short term and the long term. The percentage of fat used for substrate is lower, but the actual amount of fat will be higher. How is using glycogen a bad thing?High intensity also uses more glycogen than fat for fuel so still up for debate
Same as with any form of activity. It's often more convenient because it takes less time and increase your work capacity much more than LISS.How does HIIT effect lean body tissue? Recovery rate? Maintaining muscle mass?
You do realize that HIIT cardio is the exact same thing as lifting, right? Using glycogen as a partial substrate is only going to force the body to further replenish its store, which improves insulin sensitivity and GLUT-4 activity. Look at the body composition of those whose activity is primarily short burst, HIIT-like sprints (e.g. sprinters, running backs); see any muscle mass retention issues with them?Its not a bad thing , but for fat loss and muscle mass retention it is not optimal, I still think it is down to opinion until more independent studies have been done
...bro science?You do realize that HIIT cardio is the exact same thing as lifting, right?
Yes but go look at rugby players ,, and just think of this , muscle can be broken down into glycogen for fuel ,,You do realize that HIIT cardio is the exact same thing as lifting, right?

HIIT by definition is anything that varies up intensity during a bout of training. Sound just like lifting, right? Period of activity followed by a period of rest....bro science?
Where did I say anything about a marathon runner?And you cant compare a marathon runner to a sprinter , the marathon runner doesnt need a lot of muscle for power/speed so this is irrelevant
No, muscle cannot be broken down into glycogen. It can be broken down into glucose, but so can any substrate. Also, how long is a game of Rugby compared to a HIIT session? Exactly.Yes but go look at rugby players ,, and just think of this , muscle can be broken down into glycogen for fuel ,,
Theoretically, yes, but not too likely.I'm not so informative on HIIT, did it before but quit as I found it wasn't for me. Curious thing, it actually can increase muscle mass?
Varying waves of intensity...the exact same thing. No, that's not what glycolysis is. What you're referring to is neoglucogensis. Glycolysis is breaking down of glycogen to glucose.HIT cardio is sort of the same as lifting but lifting as rest periods were HIT cardio has active rest so they are sort of the same but still different ,,, ok so the body is going to brakedown muscle to use as fuel in the process known as glycolysis
Glycolysis in my book of physiology is stated as the breakdown of glucose or glycogen into ATP or lactic acidVarying waves of intensity...the exact same thing. No, that's not what glycolysis is. What you're referring to is glycogenolysis. Glycolysis is breaking down of glycogen to glucose.
