spreta87, do google up "weight plateau". u might find methods to overcome it.

After ur month+ with strider, how do u c urself, any +ve changes? IMHO, if u stride 90m on lowest resistance n lowest speed, i doubt there's high percentages of fat burning. instead, u may exercise on fat burning mode, or, furthermore, u may include tabata or HIIT method in ur WO.

Exosinnerz, firstly congrats on ur little-fat lost

normally on exercise machine stated 'fat burn' which is around 65% of ur heart rate, while interval aims for 80-90% heart rate. for example, if ur age is 32-years-young, ur BPM = 220 - 32 = 188. 65% of 190 is 122 (round up) and 90% of 188 is 169.

some ppl do take into consideration on stride per minutes, heart etc etc. but given the meter is spoiled, u hv no other choice but to ditch above calculation (unless u want to buy heart rate meter gadget). just tabata on strider as long as u can

while my knowledge might not accurate, u may google up for deeper understanding.

atok194,

if im on ur place n my obj is to loose some waist size, i'll choose cardio. any cardio. i'll be doing:
1. mon-wed-fri: interval cardio / various pace / incline.
2. tue-thu: weighttraining for bodyparts other than leg.
3. sat-sun: go easy jog on long miles.

try this on treadmill, it should cover ~6km calculative-ly:

im not good in dieting, but i believe u should distribute ur food intake to more or lest 6 portion: bf, brunch, pre-workout (WO), post-WO, dinner, supper.

btw, im not responsible on what im shared. u may googling around. look into LYN's members journal, runnersworld, bodyweightculture, bodybuilding etc.

hv a great adventure

i mean do cardio based workout, ie run, jog, bike, elliptical, cross-training, skipping and such.

interval cardio, any cardio based workout which has both easy and hard level (google HIIT aka high intensity interval training).

various pace/incline = change ur running speed / elevation angle.

on recovery days, do weight training that doesn't stress ur leg. ie do upper body workout.

pre-WO = eat before workout.
post-WO = eat after workout.

im also failed in dieting.ur diet menu is way better than me. u may read here or here.
imho use only 1 scale for more accurate weight monitoring.

morning all. new week on weeks 48 out of 52.

atok194, u wont be lucky next time.

shark7, biggest loser asia can loose 4kg in a week, why can't u (loose in healthier way)?
u r getting there, generally pumping is for deltoids, pectorals and triceps, depending on pumping style (google).
n since u heard of situp can make ur tummy smaller, why not u try first and let us know

+1
+1 also,btw care to share what is GNC multi vitamin dietman?google seems dun hv answer:p

Depends on what u eat la. Search for post workout meal.

oec88,

u r killing ur body, sir. eat frequently (healhty). i presume ur yogurt drink has low-fat advertisement (which if u look at the ingredient, most probably having high sugar/carb percentages). go with plain white yogurt if u love yogurt. browse tru Health&Fitness thread, n u may found several tips on proper nutrition.

walk as much as (and as fast) you can for time being. at least u r walking out rather than couching. when time came that u feel u need to 'upgrade' ur workout, do cycling o even jogging. but do hear me; cycling, or walking or whatever workout if u do alone, u need to have strrrong determination+discipline. that's y many join gym bcoz of motivation that they get from others' workout (at least to me).

btw, u lose from 92kg to 89kg due to work in Starbucks or the other way around?

on the other note, exercising will not negatively affect ur study, but u r gaining much more than that = less sleepy, energetic (with proper nutrient), more focus, less stress etc. there's nothing to lose for. try for a month a share your result with us

fr those who want to try fat burner, do beware n do not overdose. try on small portion first to make ur body familiarize before taking full supplement dose (seek advice from knowledgeable seller). got a fren of a fren whom hvng kidney prob after taking haidrokat. dunno which one, but might be the one that hv been called back.

i might be ultimately wrong, but nothing to loose if u handle if with care.
