Cardio....How Much??

[thick]

a buddy i lifted with in college was always ripped and most days he did 10-15 minutes steady pace on elliptical after workouts. So some do it



Nice seeing ya posting Chipper!

haven't done cardio in 3 years and i really need to get on it. this thread is helping.

in the past i've done it similarly to you guys. this time around i'm thinking about 10 minutes of running at the end of my workout - legs not included. i wish i had the time to split up my wo from the cardio but no can do at this time. anyone do this?

thanks thickie. god, i hate cardio but i'll be using this strategy starting in march. i've spent the past 5 weeks progressively tightening up my diet and i'm seeing good results from that. i may have to actually up my calories - i'll know in about 10 when i get bf% checked again. but with the diet in order by the end of month, i should be able to throw in the cardio. the goal is to be around 10%-11% by memorial day.


thinking about the jump rope too...

ya i like jumping rope. It is the "easiest" cardio of all to me. Just feels good for some reason. Good luck!

This is a great thread! I am trying to get serious about cardio and shredding up. Lots of great knowledge in this thread! Thanks a lot guys.

I will be posting a couple of diets that members on here have used to get in contest shape. I will try getting them posted tomorrow.

Thanks Thick, I need them! I have never gotten sub 10% and really want to this year. I am currently at an embarrasing 15%.

TX- these diets are ridiculous on getting you shredded, I've been on one now for about 1 week and can already tell a difference.

I plan on starting one as soon as Thick gets them posted. I'm ready finally!
