Blue, challange closed liao. Can join the next 1 so no worries.

Yesterday is my rest day, later tio chiong 1 whole round without stop, see my heartbeat will stop or not. lol

Rich - run at slow pace but try to do longer duration....it's better this way to oxidise those fat

swimming 1hr30mins+ today, feels good..
still feeling the pain from yesterday after attempting chair dip for the first time.. my triceps is really weak, not enough strength to complete my free style last stroke ..

I only run once a weak during saturday, for 20mins only lolx
After that rest a while go for 1 hour swimming

those patties must have cost a fortune...i bought the lamb burger before...its okay, you should try it bata

why not buy raw meat and marinate them yourself? I bet it is gonna taste much better than these packet food

What kind of oil is that? Never seen before

You burn a bigger percentage of fat to glycogen while sleeping in bed too, but does that mean it's better cardio? No. The point of doing cardio is to burn the most amount of calories as possible, meaning pushing yourself, doing HIIT, whatever.

If you go walking and burn 150 calories of fat and 50 calories of glycogen and think that is better than going running and burning 300 calories of glycogen and 100 calories of fat, you're wrong. If you only burn 50 calories of glycogen, all the extra glycogen you still have circulating in your body and from the food you eat will still turn to fat anyway, so only total calories matter.

I concur with fearz.

If there's one thing that I would change about my approach to weight loss, it will be that ALL of my cardio should be done with higher intensity. I got it right with my 3x/week tempo run at 85% and lost around 5kg in 3 months. Then I started to want to run longer - the intensity decreases and I gained some weight back and kept wondering how come as I'm becoming a better long distance runner, I'm getting fatter in the process as well!

Currently I'm mixing sprints, long runs, medium long runs, tempo runs, weight training and circut training. My main goal is still to train to run for the marathon - with or without weight loss. I was lucky enough to discover that my sprint training actually does both - helps with my stamina termendously and burns some serious calories in the process. Rawr

because im lazy ass and that extra time can be use to do something else.
carotene oil, virgin olive oil damn expensive

I wanna run half as good as you one day > <
I tried running with a Nike Free Shoe, my socks and the surface of the shoe is rubbing against each other, for just 10 minutes I felt that my feet in on fire..

Any shoe recommended?

Sky.Live,
Thanks. I'm sure you'll even be able to surpass me one day

Any reason why you're using the Nike Free Shoe? You're not supposed to wear any socks with Nike Free and I wouldnt even recommend it for serious running. For casual runs around 3k, it's ok.

coz that's the only shoe i have.. =(
Never know i should actually wear without socks, i dont like to wear shoes without socks TBH

okays!! i'm 170cm ):

Wow! Swim 1 to 1.5 hours. What's your program look like?

I am still in the learning process la, not much swimming, doing a lot of fool stuff to feel the water. If you get what i mean..
Still dont know why my breaststroke kick still so weak after all, swim slower than an uncle next lane to me..

Still learning how to breath properly in my freestyle

Btw I dont really feel comfortable swimming backstroke and butterfly in a public pool, everyone might be looking at you, backstroke risk of head on collision with someone

me give up the challenge ady. I injured quite badly, kenot exercise at the moment, kenot go out buy healthy food.

gambatteh to you all !

chargie - What's the matter? How is your injury? What is your downtime?

dont give up just like that......gotta fight till last day.

doctor advice 7 - 10 days rest. Its a wound on knee, takes time to heal.
I can only play zig-zag eating to shave some weight now, hahaha.

thanks for ur concern tengster

just dont abandon us......for your case...rest as per doctor advice and come back stronger than ever....make chargie the greatest comeback kid....okie......

you may do some wieght on hand, shoulder, lat, back, etc...without using the knee....
