hey guys, I was just wondering what you guys thought was the best cardio routine for cutting fat, not improving your running capacity, etc.?
right now my cardio routine looks something like 15 mins on the treadmill, then 15 mins on the elliptical. is there anything else I could try, cause I don't feel like it is working particularly well for me (can't really see my bf going down, i've been stuck at around 9-10%).
and yes, my diet is fairly good and very clean. high protein, all that good stuff. the reason i'm asking is that I've ALMOST had a six-pack for a long time now. i figure that i might as well go a little harder and just get the damn thing.

i think it depends on the person, for me keto didnt really do it for me, and i was never full on keto, i had sometimes 700cals of fat and protein with a cup of brocclli and i was still hunger. It did make me lose weight but after the initial weight lose, i was stuck, and i did low intensity walking 5times a week.
The one thing that did work for me was just eating less, eating much cleaner, and running, the minute i started running again my weight started dropping, and i really got more cut

1400 cals burned is quite a bit of running... Ive been cutting for about a month and just running for about 20 minutes right after my workouts, im already usually sweating my ass off from my workouts anyway and its only 20 minutes. It really only is like 300 calories burned, it doesnt really seem worth the effort.
Ive never read anything like you just posted.. ive never looked at it like that. I always kind of thought that the more you ran, the healthier you got and the easier you could keep fat off in the long run? That read though seems to make sense. Maybe I have a reason to stop doing cardio altogether haha. Ill just eat 50 less calories every meal! =PExcellence is the result of Caring more than others think is Wise; Risking more than others think is Safe. Dreaming more than others think is Practical and Expecting more than others think is Possible.

Makes sense, although ill continue my cardio just for health reasons if nothing else. I think if I get to how I wanna look and cant even run a mile without dying from lack of breath it might be kind of sad.. and poser-ish.

Thats pretty much what im getting at. Although if I HAD to choose just one it would be muscle. =P But luckily no one has to choose just one... So that was kind of an 8 year old statement. But those kind of statements are fun to use. Thats right, I used it. I enjoyed using it too. Ill use it again sometime.

I gather your mum and dad were not intelligent to teach you how to argue without swear? You post a lot and try and run down anyone who does not argue with your inane views. Of course you have your cronies to jump in and defend you.
On a side note, I can understand why you post a lot here and come across quite cocky. This obviously is the only place you'd ever get any form of acceptance hence the reason why you are always here. Keep on with your dumb views that Cardio is retarded but at least have the decency to admit you are too fat and too lazy to do cardio. Lol!!
Now if I throw you a bone would you stop making stop posts?

looking at your diet is the best *routine* you can do.
Many people have endorsed the HIIT method. I like just doing a quick 15-20 min run/skip rope or anything that keeps my heart elevated. This is done after my workout.
Soon I'm going to try to do cardio in the morning and lift after my classes (4-6pm).
Just don't be lazyFailing to prepare is preparing for failure.
My E-Stats suck.

obviously, w8isgr8 is on roid rage, and since he can't beat anyone up irl (in real life), he is taking it out over the internet. he is the e-expert (champion of the internet)
dont know much about the science of cardio, but if you exert more energy than you take in, you will lose some fat.
i know 2 friends who lost a lot of weight swimming without altering their diet too much.
i know 1 friend who lost a lot of weight running knowing not a lick about fitness
i know 1 friend who lost a lot of weight doing hiit
i know 1 friend who lost a weight after joining the marines
what do they all have in common? cardio.... but who knows, try out the ketogenic diet or whatever that isLast edited by wimp2pimp; 01-13-2007 at 10:11 PM.
