Not so fast brudda. Nutrition is important, but the relationship between nutrition and training is more important. A 20 min cardio session will put you in a deficit if you are expending more than total kcal intake, but if you are relying primarily on anaerobic glycolisis during that 20 min, then your muscles will just suck up glycogen at the next feeding. Low intensity cardio (45 to 60 min) done over a period of time will actually cause mitochondrial density to increase. The end result is you will be able to burn more fat ALL DAY AND NIGHT. Not just during your WO. High intensity cardio doesn't have that effect.

Sorry to jump in, but I'm not one for cardio. Say I take a long half hour to 45 minute walk with my wife 3 or 4 times a week. Can this be considered beneficial as well (besides for general health reasons)?

That is what I wanted to hear,cool bro! I am doing 1 hour a day now of 60-65% of MHR. Get a good huff and puff going. Also, since we are on the subject. What is the minimum weight training you can do daily in addition to cardio while cutting to maintain as much, or does it vary person to person? When I was playin ball I shredded up nicely doing just baic compund lifts every other day in addition to 1 hour cardio daily. But my nutrition now is much better. I am currently at 3,000-3,200 cals a day for a 245 pounder. I am around 13-14% bf currently. Thanks for everything...........oh almost forgot. Is it OK to have different foods each day and each meal as long as they are above 50g of protein each meal and within my cal range for the day? I eat 5 meals a day now, all about 600 cals and 50+g of protein. Thanks guys.
 
well the fat loss is going well now that I am at 5 meals a day. I am only doing 1 hour cardio a day currently to see how my body reacts to the calorie difference and its effect on energy. I will go back to lifting on monday. Just a experiment on myself. I am taking no supplements at the moment besides b-5 for the acne I got from my past supplements. Just trying to eleviate redness or blemishes now. The water weight is sure going away. I think probably 2 months before single digits. My meals are even more anal now that i am in school and I am making them the night before, so I know exactly what I am eating and not just because it is infront of me like when I bulked for a little. Well I am going to start doing my cardio at night now, 1 hour. And next week, weights during the day about 1 pm.

I have most of my clients do 2x/wk strength training. each day works all the maijor muscle groups, but each day is difrent. I would say if you do something like that or what you previously mentioned, You'll do well. :thumbsup:

OK cool, yeah I would like to do high volume, but I really won't have the energy to do it. That is the reason for the question. So I am thinking of myabe 3x/week, on Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday for the weights. I was thinking like 27 sets total each weighttraining day. I am really focusing all my time and money into good nutrition now and 1 hour of cardio daily. Well thanks for any ideas as far as volume. I will be doing free weights for upper body and machines for legs because of prior injuries. Thanks lean one for any words of wisdom.
 
would walking one of my dogs, a rot/pit mix that likes to try to pull me around be enough to get into a fat burning zone? I have 2 of them, walking both of them for about 4 blks has me worn out they pull so much, I know i wouldnt last 45min with both of them but I am thinking just one of them would be about the right amount of work to fascilitate fat burning. any opinions?

Short answer, No. Too unpredictable.
