Rep Power: 3 | | I tried the HIIT this evening after hitting the weights. I made it through three cycles before almost passing out. It probably took less than five minutes, I was judging by distance.
I remember during my wrestling days (13 years ago) that this type of work out is really effective.
I can't wait to try it again..

Rep Power: 0 | | I would also like to argue the point made that cardio is not very effective for weight loss. I don't know about others but it sure helped me drop 20 lbs fast (along with eating every 2.5-3 hours and cutting out junk food). |

Rep Power: 0 | | | Long Slow Cardio is a Waste! I have seen so many people get wrongly sucked into thinking that if only they walk, the lbs will just start falling off. Unfortunately this just isn't true in most cases. Walking just doesn't burn many calories, and once the walking is done, there is no after burn effect. So in order to make walking work, you have to do it for many hours/day. And as a busy mom who has the time for that!
I have found high intensity interval cardio as well as total body circuit weight training to be the best fat burning tool.
I use the Fit Moms For Life DVD home workout series. I love them, because real moms are doing the workouts, none of that hollywood fake type of workouts! The site to check it out is [(link removed)

Rep Power: 5 | | Thanks for the info...I've been loosing gaining & loosing weight for years. Whilst there is a lot of truth to what you say about HIIT...I think the comment about steady cardio being no good for weight loss shows just how people can get to hung up on the one thing. Thankyou to the person for pointing out that people should have a good grounding on rest & recovery before flogging the body like so. I do like HIIT, but feel for those just starting out like myself (yet again) that the walk/jog walk /jog is extreamly effective, which only gives credence to the concept of HITT, yet as many of us progress to a steady beat, you can be assured weight loss still plays it's part. I also agree that zoning can and is all to often used an exscuse to burn fat without any real effort, but I've come across to many profesional body builders that swear by low intensity workouts to lose Fat...Therefore whilst I take onboard the importance of HIIT, I think it is more effective used along side other forms of working out. It's really great to help people get to the next lvl...that's for sure...but then again, somthing I tend to overtrain myself with. Guess it all comes down to experiance...being a yo yo myself...I best be going with the steady method for now  ...Thanks again...Good Read. |

Rep Power: 4 | | I gotta say this running program called Couch 2 5k is the most hard excerise I can barely do it. It is a real work out...the good news is I've completed week 1. I was never a good runner, even as a child when I was thin. Now I have alot of upper body strength and am more muscular when I was younger, which I don't know why.
I'm on week 2 of couch 2 5k. it involves a brisk walking warm up 5 minutes, followed by 6 intervals of 90 seconds jogging, 2 minute rest period between each interval.
It is HARD, and I can't see how anyone can run for 5 minutes straight, let alone a mile.
I'm taking it slow though, I can do this. I started at 241 lbs and now I'm 219...in a little over a month and a half. |
