ROGER

i switched from bike and elyptical to that it really gets your heart rate up fast because of incline but without the pounding on joints of jogging and i burn more calories with that then same time on a bike

f, em if they cant take a joke

way go keep up good work

i use to do 4 hrs cardio a week 2 days bike 2 days treadmill on steep incline speed walking ive cut down to 2 half hours of cardio i lift weights 6 days week i work each body part twice a week at very fast pace i usually do 5 sets of 10 20 reps of each excersise doing 6 to 7 different excersise for each body part i can get 2 body parts in at a very high pace usually 30 minutes each body part 30 seconds 1 minute between sets some times i will do one excersise for one body part do another excersise for another supersetting with no rest just different parts i do thirty minutes of stretching also twice a week

how much cardio do you do i use to do 4 hrs a week but i lift weights an hr a day 6 times a week and have cut my cardio back to 3 half hour sessions of treadmill at highest incline at 3.7 miles hour i burn over 500 calories a session i do one hr ride on bike on sundays doing intervals going as fast as i can for 1 minute cruising around 2o mph the next 3 im up to about 22.5 mph on hr bike ride

i would like to say that loseing weight has drastically improved my health but the excersise cardio weight training have made me feel more energetic excited and optimistic about my future health .

damm girl you do an hour of cardio 6 days a week what is insanity is that weight training you are a machine i lift 6 days a week but i do 45 minutes of cardio 4 times a week i use to do hour of cardio but since i increased my weight training i dont have the energy to do hour at night after 10 12 hour work days

your more than half way there youd be suprised how much energy and how much better you will feel if you start excersiseing
