i beleive this was my key back in the day. i think at 1hr cardio you cant get in enough calories to get fat

Never did... 3 to 4 times a week for 20 mins...

Very often I am surfing + swimming/diving all day long, 1h of 'cardio' is peanuts.
-
Cardio is bs. I'm active enough throughout the day.
Still lean at 50 with no dedicated cardio.
-
I wish
Bench
-
I think this is the key. Ive done 1h cardio before breakfast for many years and stay in good condition year round. Both medically and physically as well as mentally. Did general bloodwork as i always do two weeks ago and everything was good.

Being doing 30 mins 3x week for a while.
-
Been doing 2 hours a day 3 days a week currently, 1 hour fasted in the am stairmill, then 1 hour swimming at night, transformation vids soon, pretty lean at the moment, also all is performed with a heart monitor and I keep my heart rate in my target heart rate. If you are going to do cardio a heart rate monitor is essential, takes the guessing out of it.
-
swimming for one hour was very common during world war 2, as torture.
-
I've been running 7 to 9 miles every day (about an 60-75 minutes) for the last 3 months - lost over 50 lbs of flab in 100 days. I still lift beforehand, but I'm now in my early 40's and more interested in health/longevity than getting big or lifting heavy.

You do need cardiovascular health.
Active doesn’t mean you’re getting your heart rate up enough to have any positive effect on the muscle/organ.
Need to get it in your range.
220 - your age
and then multiplied by .6 and .8

Much respect brosef
3-4 times a week 30 minutes is optimal for.good health
And don't do hard cardio 2 days in a row
In fact very hard cardio training should be limited to twice a week max
-
swimming for 1 hour a day back and forth back and forth sounds like one slow masturbation without happy ending
-
Cardio every day sounds like a chore. When your hour of cardio per day yields you a championship physique and a million dollars, come talk to me!

cardio is essential when you get older helps keep you lean and mean and a pantie sniffing machine

You want to make sure you are burning fat not just calories bro, takes the guessing out of it. Stay in that range 70 to 80% of your maximum heart rate. Key to getting death face ripped!

why not maximal sprints?

Thats HIT cardio, I'm not really versed on that, all I know is when I hired my first coach, one of the first things he instructed me to do was buy a heart rate monitor, perform all cardio at 70-80% of maximum heart rate, its science, instead of just doing cardio like I did in the past and because I was sweating a lot I thought I was losing fat, maybe/maybe not, I might have been burning muscle or if it isn't intense enough you aren't burning anything and just wasting time.

Skeletor face is something you rarely see these days on stage props. What heart rate monitor do you use?
-
off season 20 minutes stair master and 10 minutes brisk walk on treadmill right after my training session.
off season cardio is key! i wish i did more cardio in my 20s
-
Thanks, Go! But now I gptta buy a hear rate monitor. Pls recommend the best one to get (not one that you gotta wear around your chest tough) but I do have more than one on one of my many cheap wrist bands which I never use.
I am walking 4 to 6 miles (an absolute minimum of 10,000steps) every other day or more in 100+ degree temps but I don't believe that has any affect on my heart rate. I walk fast but don't run!
But I do feel great and my Doc claims that I am very young for my age .... and to keep on walken.
I used to know all these cardio details like an expert, but as I got older ... I got stoopider.
Refresh my mrmory on the Max Heart Rate formula ... which I believe desolate has already done ( 220 - your age and then multiplied by .6 and .8 ?????) but it may be great to go into further detail for Marty and some of the rest of us less than wise-guys.....
No intent to be an asshole here but I think Marty and the rest of us who may be interested and stoopider than myself ..... will discover some great results via cardio activity.
Jeff Everson and Cory used to do 40 -60 minutes of cardio before breakfast.
What is the importance of that early mrning cardio?
Thanks for starting this topic, Marty. I love this kind of health related shit/talk!

That's exactly what I do. The stair master has helped me a lot!

Wife did BF measurements for me just now. I’m at 11.75 at a weight of 219, 55 years old. Oh yeah, I’m 5’6 1/2.
Here, I was 202

Hey Stunt, maximum heart rate is 220-your age, so I try to do cardio at 70-80% of my maximum heart rate, so basically 220-your age × .7 or .8. You can get a Fitbit, theres no chest band, just a watch that tracks many things as well as your heart rate

So you are hitting hard cardio 4 times a week?
Damn dude! You's a beast😲
I will attempt hard cardio 4 times a week but it may be too much
Once a week hard cardio ain't enough as it lose my conditioning level if I wait that long
Twice a week I can improve my level but I think 3 times is most likely optimum
And I will try 4 times and if it's too much back off to 3 or even 2 times a week
Easy cardio at 60% or lover is no problem but once the intensity level goes above 70% then you gotta be careful with how often you do it
I train boxing twice a week and each session involves hard cardio basically brutal intense circuit style and once on my own I hit a steady state aerobic threshold session for 20-30 minutes but I will try and add in a second one to bring me up to 4 hard cardio bouts per week
Wanna spar brosef???😉😆

7-8 hours dude, no naps, eat steak before sleep for optimal sleepiness.
i dont have 1 hour to waste
Just do 8 min abs bro!

Wish i had the time for proper cardio. I try to walk a lot tho.

HEENOK, Walking is great for you. I suggest you Google "10,000 Steps a Day" and read it thoroughly and then download a Pedometer app on your cellphone which will count your daily steps for you among other things.
But if you want more accurate daily activity stats other than what that phone app offers, take Go4's advice and look at a good number of FitBit devices.
Hey, GO4, A few weeks ago I bought a FitBit Ionic with one extra band for $300 at Sam's Club (regular price was $339), but I got shit for brains when it comes time to set up technical stuff such as this Ionic watch, but I did try and ended up taking it back for a full recovery because 'I are stupid'.
But now I may be getting one of those smaller FitBits that don't appear too complicated.
My question here is ... I hate running for a number of reasons but I have absolutely no problem walking 4 to 6 miles per day or per every other day (depending on the LV heat).
Under those conditions, what must I do to lose body fat? Or is it absolutely necessary to get my heart rate higher than my normal 4 - 6 mile walking heart rate? (At present I have no idea what my heart rate is while walking relatively long distances, nor do I know how long it remains higher than my resting heart rate)
At present I am only counting 'steps per day' with a 10,000 steps per day (PLUS) with my cell phone app without tracking any heart rate.
So back to the store to purchase one of those less than $170 Fitbits.
Do I 'gotta run' to get my HR up to the losing fat plateau?
No need to say, "Diet" as I am well versed in that regards.
-
Stunt
Try the recumbent exercise bike
You can train all out on it without stressing the joints
Tempo is good which is 20 continuous minutes at a level where you can keep a conversation going but just barely
Interval work is good too try 6-8 2 minute intervals with 2 minutes easy between each one
I ran a sub 2 minutes half mile in high school so I kinda know something bout all this 😎😎
-
DJ, I just got back from the gym and it's strange that you suggested it because that is exactly what I did for 30 minutes.
Only 30 because I was depending on a ride from a friend who was on a time schedule.
Here's a photo I found on the net of the bike I used today for 30 minutes but only managed to get my HR rate up to 106 before I had to hop off.
I'll be riding for 40 minutes tomorrow when I don't have to depend on someone else's courtesy.
And possibly run it up to 60 minutes two weeks down te road and see where it takes my HR.
Thanks again.

Lol, I don't even work out one hour a day.

Stunt, you need to have a computer or device with a USB port so you can set up your watch, they have all kinds of features that you can use, even track your sleep with it. In terms of walking, if its intense enough (70-80%) of your maximum heart rate, but truthfully you will have better success with swimming, stepper, elliptical. Dude be careful walking in Vegas it's hot as fuck. Also if you can do it on a empty stomach (fasted in the morning) in my opinion will give you optimal results. Theres conflicting evidence on this but I've done both fasted and with meals in me, and I've always seen way better results fasted.

Good stuff, keep it up
Steady state training is very good but you shouldn't do it more than twice a week
You can add in an interval day and an easy day and if your up for it a lsd (long slow distance) day this lsd sessionot should last at least 45 minutes
-
DJ/GO4, THANKS for the above remarks.
This HR discussion has been a re-edumacation because at one time I was the neighborhood know-it-all on all things "aerobic" .... but over time I just got stupid .... although I never gave up aerobic type training and can still outwalk most getbiggers regardless of the weather.
But when it gets too damn hot (100+++) here in Vegas, it's just a matter of taking a 5 - 6 mile walk up and down the Strip with a short but non-stop hike through the air-conditioned casinos and out into the heat once again.
But I still miss those damn So. Cal beaches and Waikiki where it's possible that I own some records for constant beachfront, long distant walking .... or so I have been told.
Next purchase .... Fitbit Versa at $199.00 for long walk activity.
BTW ... It's a 2 hour walk from my place to the new LV Raiders Stadium
and another 20 minutes to the closest Strip hotel (Mandalay Bay).

ReCUMbent bikes are are nice. ( no homo) I been using a spin style bike at home, (double no homo).

Cardio has to be continuous. Yes, intervals of running and walk rest is still continuous. Ever since these fit bits came out every one wants credit for exercise for just being alive. Yes, jobs where you stand and walk from time to time is better than sitting jobs. Just don't con yourself into thinking you are exercising.
I ran a hard 3 miles prior to work and this obese woman said she did more exercise than me because of the amount of steps recorded on her Fit Bit. If she tried to keep up with me on a 3 mile run after a quarter mile or less she would puking.
I'm a runner but I surely acknowledge that walking fast for 5 miles a day melts fat away like magic. One month of 5 days week of 5 miles fast walking works amazing toward fat loss.
-
Thanks, Oldtimer, "One month of 5 days week of 5 miles fast walking works amazing toward fat loss."
I certainly cannot disagree with that!
