Hmm....for HIIT, do you guys all use a treadmill or do you use bicycle/elliptical?

i cycle on a stationary bike...i suck at running, i get itchy all over lol

i know what is HIIT already but what speed should i go for the 15 seconds??
my recommended bpm is 181~191

synchun,
get a heart rate monitor. speed is largely dependant on ur level of fitness. if ur unfit, 7km/h also can reach max hr. so it's hard to determine.

LOL! Itchy? Seriously?

yeah dude...i still dont know why i feel itchy all over, must be the excess love handles and skin bouncing here and there

i see, and where can i get this heart rate monitor?
those fitness shops?

this dude is selling it in garage sales
http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopi...rt+rate+monitor

or you can go around shopping complexes to look for it. but i dont know how much they are selling it, i cant afford to buy one

argh, then forget it..
i aint gonna invest so much just to monitor my heart rate =D
so some HIIT pro tell me is 15km/h is good enough ?

Sometimes i feel u guys are being too.... technical...
you guys are champions when it comes to finding new names of exercises and acronyms...

end of the day, you don't need no fancy equipment like HRM (woot, acronyms).... as long as you run ur hardest, that is your Max heart rate.... all u need to know.

Sometimes u guys should just stfu and run...
too much reading, too little execution.

chill lah, i get it now..
run at my hardest, i'll bear that in mind
thanks

Yeah, i already told you, run as if a lion was chasing you for 15 to 20 secs... take a breather for 45secs to 1min after that, then repeat.

Simple as that, no need HRM.... now go run.

Fatso #1 survived Day 2 of 30 Day Shred. Muahaha

Day 5's Prescription
60 mins run (Easy)

shit, i just realized my bday is coming while i am doing this

You ah, haven't change much from WoW Forums.

That little bit of reading help us to get to where we are and that includes bulking and cutting. Remember, you yourself said that you have weight problems and are yo-yoing.

So taking about 30 min to a few days just to gain a better understanding is nothing wrong. Better to have a correct foundation than ignorant.

I hope that at least here, you don't threaten people for a fight in RL.

synchun : It may be expensive yes but once you become more fit and hit plateaus, you find that there may be a need for better and closer monitoring of food and heart rate. But, the choice is up to you. People also buy HRM because the HRM on machines aren't always that realiable.

Anyone know if Isetan has nice bento boxes for sale in KL?

Nah... my knowledge is lightyears ahead of my progress...
That's why i stopped being active in HnF for awhile.

You know what happen? When you start reading too much BS, it can affect you. (there's contradictions, there always are contradictions)
Losing weight and/or gaining muscles takes time. But i find that ppl here read too much
and are constantly adjusting themselves bcos they are not losing/gaining fast enough.

They may be doing something right until they changed it cos a new research said so bla bla bla...
I think it's stupid. The fundamentals of exercising will never change. But people change too often too soon before they are able to reap anything out of it.
I always adopt the "STFU & Train" mentality.

Bodybuilding is measured by years...... not months, not weeks.
I know people who changes training programs every 2 months.

Day 6 - 22nd April....

My workout really pathetic. Left leg to feel pain on the calf area....like muscle pull......disappointing.....will rest 1-2 days before running again...

Today rest day for me, suppose to do Bicep and Forearm today but I got some important things to do. So Thurs, Fri and Sat.

I workout at least 5 days/week, cannot lari one.

cause i my waist got from 36 to 40 inches and i lost weight instead of gaining
