Hell no.
Not want them cancer.

Phelps's diet isn't shocking. Fitness instructor's that conducts 5 classes per day consumed around 5000-6000 kcal.

i do jog, but lately, i jog more milage/day than last year (daily 3-6km rather than 2-4km). hoping that KG deficit still go on until 60kg

Doing weight first instead of doing cardio do taxing my body too much

@Badutman

It's better to do weights before cardiovascular exercises.

There are a few reasons behind this. For eg. depleting your energy in weights and continue with cardio exercises for fat loss.

However, it would be more optimal if one can exercise 5-6 times a week for an hour of each session without mixing cardio and weights together.

Also from my point of view,weights training takes more concerntration than cardiovascular (with the exception of HIIT), this might differ from one person to the other.

It's possible. His lifestyle is possibly AFTER all those Olympic gold medals. He only recently entered the first competition since the Olympics about a week ago. Training for the Olympics is a 3+ year event so it makes sense that he takes time off for rigorous training for a bit.

I used to swim twice a day (2 - 3 hours each). Wake up at 3am, mom drive to pool, swim practice, get ready for school, go to school, after school go to 2nd swim practice in afternoon 3pm or sometimes it is at 7pm. Then come home. Usually eat meals in car and do homework in car, go to sleep really early. A few times a week we will have strength sessions before swim training or even a jog around the park. Also to 'diversify' or tweak different muscles we would also play other sports like tennis, squash/racquetball or whatever else. Also individual gym sessions on your own when you have the time.

It is a full-time job. But not possible in Malaysia with our education system and lack of support by the government, schools etc. It's all from the effort of the parents (mostly) - and the swimmer (a little or just in the pool heh)

So Mr Michael Phelps? With the outstanding sports system there in the US + being a "full-time" swimmer? Easy peasy to dedicate himself to working out all day and eating 10,000 calories per day.

I wish they had this for their weightlifters as well. Those poor boys have to go to university, survive on a USD2000 budget from the government and allowances frm their parents and that's only if they manage to join the national team.

Do both lah.

Yes we can do both but the order of which should come first is important

Do weights FIRST then only cardio. Why? because by doing cardio first, you'll use up most of your energy...how are you gonna lift?

Although there is no right or wrong, the choice is totally up to ourselves

Anyway, i usually separate cardio and workout days. After a good workout...almost no energy to even run 1KM. Shiok feeling haha.

Right Kianweic?

@metalfreak

+1

Anyway, if one doesn't do any exercises, I would say any form of exercises is good exercises and doesn't have to fall strictly into bodybuilding terms or sports.

badutman : Good on the exercise but it's usually a bad idea to use food as a reward. It's easy to get into a runaway reaction.

kianweic : I'd say that it depends on the goal and the person. Any form of exercise these days may not be enough. 20-30 years ago, maybe but probably not today.

I got frustrated with a lot of ppl saying that it takes time, perservere on and maybe one day weight loss will happen. Apparently, dieting is not as simple it's depicted to be and neither is all forms of exercise able to give the same result for everyone.

It's a damn pain to study though but if results are what people want to see, big sacrifices required.

Frustration is good. So use that as your motivation to prove them wrong. That is how i manage to progress. I'm not saying did it for them, i memang wanted to lose weight but i guess anger was a 2nd factor of motivation.

Don't take it as a routine, but a lifestyle, enjoy what you are doing and not just think about losing weight all the time.

Might be different for some ppl but thatz just me

Relax la. Enjoy what you're doing.

Most ppl don't understand what to do or what it takes when it comes to losing weight. For them...its DIET. Dieting is about what we eat and NOT about eating less. Thats already their 1st mistake.

"Oh, I'm on a diet". They better get their facts right.

o.O you were one of the kid i saw near the pool i swim, my coach told me they swim twice a day too.

your mom must have committed a lot of effort too.. for fetching you around and preparing meals

Heh! If you only knew how much frustration that built up to my eventual weight loss program for this year. Managed to get the act together and really really see progress for once.

Now, drinking genmai cha and half of a dragonfruit. Very healthy.

Cross trainer today. Hopefully making it to the 50-60 min mark without feeling too flat and tired.

Way to go

shit wei...my abs ALWAYS sore on the 2nd day after workout while the rest comes on 1st day.

urgh...upper body stiff and i gotta play guitar for BEC meeting later at my place. The funny thing is...I dont even know what the heck BEC stands for LOL. Catholic konon,

Hi fatsos, how are you guys doing today?

I'm 17 days away from the marathon and I tell ya - I'm a nervous wreck. I cant wait for it to finish ASAP so that I can enjoy chilling out with my significant other after work instead of pounding the synthetic track around KLCC park. Had a slice of cheese cake (YUM!) at work and it gave me enough energy to complete today's workout.

Originally wanted to do endurance running but havent recover from yesterday's interval speed training (13km/h @1min w00t!) on the treadmill. Ended up walking for 7km

Tomorrow will be easy run instead of fartlek. Saturday, 22km circuit run (may extend another 3.2km if still got time ) with the Pacemakers.

all the best in CR3...you are running with among the top 50 local runners in the country....some of them are dem kheng.

me, Male, 15, 172m, 54kg

@tengster,
I prolly finish last but that's ok

remember what you told me...it's a battle against Syd G on the track (BJ loop).....not others...
