The Weight Loss Thread

If you got the time to run an hour plus a day then I wouldn't stop you, but I would still recommend putting some resistance days in there. It's like you said, you will be come a skinny type fat if you juts rely on nothing but cardio to lose weight. Quick intense bursts are

There's also calories burned after you workout and resistance beats cardio in that category by a long shot, which is why it's good to throw some resistance days in there.

I've tried both heavy resistance and heavy cardio and I seemed to have more fat burned with the heavy cardio. But overall muscle confusion gave me the best results for losing the weight and getting in a shape.

I hate resistance training... I feel like I'm gonna puke everytime I'm finished *sigh* It's gotta be done though.

Woke up and weighed myself. My official weighting day is Sunday but I just felt like it. I figured I wouldn't change any but good to say I've lost 2 pounds. I'll weigh myself again Sunday for sure but I'm feeling good. :)

Cardio does burn a lot of calories but almost 2/3 of that is muscle tissue and a 1/3 fat.

Lol, this is the stupidest shit I've ever heard. Where did you get this from???

Lol, that means that it's working!

If you are about to throw up after resistance days it's usually because your body, how my brother likes to put it, is trying to push out 'the weakness'. It basically means that your body is trying to push out all impurities and toxins to get ready for another intense train, that's when you mix it up and keep it guessing. If your putting the right foods in your body and this is still happening then you are goin past your limit, and should take longer breaks and do excercises with shorter reps. I still get light headed sometimes when I do my push-ups and when that happens I take a break and keep goin.
