Losing Weight.

[THEV1LL4N]

go for a check up at the doctors 2 double check. cos if u have asthma, u may need 2 lower your intensity and workload for health and safety reasons.

Sorry to bump this thread but I've just recently started to lose some body fat and I can give you some tips that have worked for me.

Do HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training). It a cardio technique that burns calories up to 24 hours after your work out. What it does is that it doesn't let your heart get use to a steady heart rate. If you jog at a certain speed for an hour your heart would get use to it, you'll still burn calories but there is another way thats better. With HIIT, you jog for one minute, and sprint for a minute, then back to jogging for a minute. This helps you burn more calories and also preserve more muscle. You can also do HIIT on anything that involves cardio, like stairs (run up two-three flights as fast as possible etc), bikes, and also jumping (jump up and touch something 10 times, rest for 30 seconds, go at it again for 15 minutes).

I've been doing HIIT and lost 2 pounds a week. A good diet helps the most though, if you can't give up coke, drink Coke Zero which tastes just like regular coke. Sugar fucks you up the most I've noticed, once I stopped drinking soft drinks I felt way better and lost more weight.

Major bump on the HIIT. It burns fat so much faster and you won't have to spend 45 minutes 4 times a week running to lose a good amount of fat.

The doctor told me i have asthma.I just developed it over the last 2 or 3 years.Im on an inhaler now.Im back training as well so im starting to get fitter.Im going to start doing that HIIT.

How long should you do it for to reap the benefits.?You said to jog for a minute then sprint for a minute.How many times should you do it in one session?

 

[Glockmatic]

15-20 minutes each session.

When i think about it,we already do that kind of training.We run around a large square or a circle and when our trainer blows the whistle we run at full speed until he blows it again.Then we jog and when he blows the whistle again we sprint again.
