Whats the most inteligent amount of time to spend doing cardio?
I would like to know what the most optimal time for doing cardio is, that burns the most fat (theoretically) and the least amount of muscle?
Is 30 mins on the stepper a good amount? 4 times a week, after weights? |

Re: Whats the most inteligent amount of time to spend doing cardio?
mate just do the cardio, your really over-thinking everything...doing cardio in the morning/PWO or before bed all drop fat if you maintain a fat burning HR whilst doing cardio which is 65-75% of your maximum HR anymore than this and you will use more glycogen than fat for energy (you will still drop fat).....
if you are really serious about dropping fat then do cardio every day... ______________________ http://www.extremenutrition.co.uk/at...ough/index.php Have your questions answered in the BEEF magazine.......mail them to me at pscarb1@googlemail.com |

Re: Whats the most inteligent amount of time to spend doing cardio?
Opeth, what products are you using to help with your fat burning?
Can anyone else suggest a quality fat burning product? I would ideally like one that is not too full on and not making you feel too jittery. |

Re: Whats the most inteligent amount of time to spend doing cardio?
Opeth, even if there were an optimal time for fat burning, what would the difference be? 10% or so perhaps (that is the difference ephedrine has on regular users)?
That would mean even at optimal time an hour on the exercise bike at low intensity would burn 440 calories rather than 400. I truly believe its a case of just getting it done whenever it fits into your life best and making sure you do it regularly. If you can do this the results will come in time. ______________________ www.extremenutrition.co.uk - 25% off for all MC members, discount code MCD25. Want to add size?

Re: Whats the most inteligent amount of time to spend doing cardio?
Ok I get it.
However, I guess my questioned stemmed from the notion, that too much cardio is actually catabolic? I guess my question should have been, what do you reckon is a good amount of cardio, that doesnt have adverse affects on muscle gains. Alternativly, my plan is to do as much as 5-7 days a week, stepper, for 45 mins. Is this too much? Or am I just over complicating things again? |
