The best new fat burner!

Question regarding the machines at the gym


my elliptical and the treadmill have different settings (ie manual, cardio, heart, fat loss, mountain, flat, etc) that will change the resistance and such in intervals... but these are almost impossible to customize (you can customize the resistance of each interval..but not the length of the interval)

do you guys just manually adjust the speed every minute.. or is there a way to customize the intervals that i am overlooking?
Im tired of being stuck to the machines preset intervals, and i hate having to adjust the machine every minute

Yah I ran into the exact same situation with my eliptical at home I just adjust the tension manually.
 
Just giving due props to JJohn - I've been doing a slight variation on this exercise for the last week and it is added a new dimention to my normal after weights cardio; it's also a lot of fun! Cheers for the thread/tip JJohn.

My pleasure man. Glad you like it!
 
I love this. So easy to add in at the end of a workout.. And you can burn a nice amount of cals in a short period of time..

jjohn.. I am in your debt.. lol
 
Ok Sounds Interesting

ok i AM SOLD. i TYPICALLY INTERSPERSE CARDIO DURING MYE WEIGHTS, LIKE BETWEEN SUPERSETS. is this horribly wrong? It gives my muscles a chance to rest without just sitting around (usually just like 5 minutes of HIIT before doing the next series of supersets, and not after supersets focused on legs) i have to say I am going ot try it YOUR way, cause my way has not been realy producing fat burning results.

(Sorry about he caps)

Sounds like you are recomping nicely, JJ!
Bobby: I don't believe the pop 2 pills and i lost weight claim either! But this thing that JJ's got...........he may be on to something.

JJ, you only lifting 4 days per week followed by cardio? nothing on the the other 3 days?

Haha. Yeah, NP will sell Jj's magic caps of cardio!

Darn, get a new one then :D

Thanks! Right now, I lift 5x a week, and cardio after my weights sessions, except leg day.

The other days, I rest, I might go for rollerblade and biking, but it's nothing really intense, just for fun..

Your method is a real headache, as IMO you can't really focus on anything since you're running around all the time. Try it, and let me know!
 
I love me some HIIT, and better yet, dynamic exercise. If your goal is to burn fat, cardio-exclusive sessions, utilizing varying speeds and movements, will shed the most adipose over time. Whether it be inclined, declined, backwards, or what have you, the important aspect is intensity and variance. Studies comparing low vs high intensity cardiovascular training show the high intensity group losing more adipose over a longer time period (due to the aggregate effect on metabolic pathways [see: oxidation of FFAs, nitrogen balance, glucose disposal and son on]). Low-intensity cardio is amazing if your only concern is losing fat from 24-72h post-exercise (as FFAs are oxidized readily in that respect); however, if your goal is long-term weight management, there is no replacement for dynamic movement and high-intensity training.
 
OMG, JJohn, you ar a sick , sick man!!! I thought I was gonna puke doing this cardio session! I had to take the incline down to 11. Maybe if I can keep with it, next week I can gon up to 13. Wow, I will keep with this and see if I get similar result to you. Thanks for sharing!

My Elliptical trainer I have at home has the ability to record the work out I do manuualy then I can do it over and over again, and keep adjusting as I get used to it. So if I record a workout and keep doing it, then I need to push harder i just ramp it up, and at the end of the work out the computer asks me if I want to save that version ,and that is what I have the next time I go to do it. So I have about 3 or 4 different versions I can use depending on what my goals are for the day.
Not sure if any of the ones at the gym have that function or not (doubt it).

15 incline is great. And yeah I leave it at 15 all the time.

I still do my weights before though. If you do intervals like this you will see a noticeable difference ;)

I do the 15 as well, since I cant really run per se, I do 25 at about 4.4 or 4.5mph, hell of a sweat
 
Magnesium citrate, or as I like to say, Magnesium shytstraight, lol. Guarantee you'll lose a few pounds on your first dose, and continue too for a few more hours. Also, it will help you with your sprint times, as you will spend countless hours sprinting to the bathroom. It's cheap too!! Good luck!! Great thread guys, lmao!!
 
man this **** was brutal... after the first 6 minutes my calves felt like they were going to split in half... eeeesh ive always had the problem running... need to figure out how to fix that
