I can highly recommend BMX riding for your cardio workout, as the ability to always choose new routes or try different things. keeps this sport fresh - at least for me. In addition, there a lot of great bmx communities out there like the guys from here. The technerds there...

As mentioned, muscles are weakest at those extremes and that makes it LEAST likely to contract. This is where your ..... keep reading article at...

7 yearsFrostshock (13324): You don't just lose waist fat. That's just not how it works. If someone lost waist fat specifically doing some routine or diet they probably already had a genetic tendency to lose fat in that area first no matter what. The point of the matter is you need to lose overall body fat to lose waist fat. Find your maintenance, cut the cals slowly to a max of 500 deficit, get your macros, train, and sleep. All you need to do.

If you don't think your heart is about to rip out of your chest after 15 seconds then its not max effort. And I was serious about the car pushing thing.

In fact, the only reason I've seen IF work is that by reducing number of meals, individuals are less likely to eat more than their daily required caloric intake. Personally, lowering your caloric intake, watching your macros, is far superior. Look at the data provided by Dr. Norton about the...

If you wanna lose weight, I recommed taking your bodyweight x 12 or 13. Thats the calories you should be consuming. Do 30-45minutes of cardio 3-5 times a week.

8 yearsBaiTu (3096): Don't worry too much about building muscle. You've got plenty of muscle, it's just under the fat if you're underweight. A hypertrophy specific routine won't help you get muscle definition. Losing fat will do that. Up the intensity on the stationary bike and throw in some sprint intervals while riding the bike. Also, when lifting, keep your rest periods to a minimum - 75 seconds or less. Preferably around 45 seconds.

High intensity cardio might become problematic in the long run, it may feed into your recovery ability, and as such impair your gym performance.

I personally wouldn't do sprints with PHAT, sprints tear my legs up and would affect my workouts negatively.

8 yearsstewie (442): There are different kinds of cardio. In the bodybuilding world, LISS and HIIT is the most common. With endurance sports you get LISS, tempo, HIIT, VO2max etc. What you're doing is most probably tempo. Tempo is at a higher than normal intensity for a prolonged time. As a test without a hrm: LISS (can hold a conversation) Tempo (can speak half sentences) HIIT (can only say words, if that)

8 yearsmikew (11494): When I do LISS, I set the treadmill to a 1 degree incline and the speed to 4MPH. It takes a minute or two to adapt but the body adapts pretty quickly. That example is from the article on bb.com. I guess it does seem a little extreme. I usually do HIIT on the elliptical so 30 on/30 off is more feasible there. Also, there is a typo in that article. It should say for a total of 12 minutes not 18. Thanks for pointing out this mistake.

Fasted cardio is not beneficial as many think (and as EK's thread discusses), however I believe that by taking in a full meal before cardio, you waste the Free Fatty Acids (FFAs) that have been mobilized through sleep that you could be burning. However, these FFAs are burned through LISS, never going past roughly 70% max VO2. Since carbs are the easiest to break down for energy, a...
