i bet if you can do 30 min. you'll gonan be more ripped then now

actually whats the preferable time for cardio session? 30 mins good enough?

its not how long you do, its about intensity try 20min HIIT maybe equal to 30 min normal pace jogging/running

it depends la...if u cycle like go pasar, 1 hr will not do much....do those intense cardio...30-40min is good enough...

+1

Always find it hard to do cardio after workout cause i will be burn out. Prefer to do workout after cardio..cause i will be pump up and ready to hit the weight...How la..like that?

its up to you actually, you also can have 15 min of cardio then weight training than 15 min cardio again. for me, i split my cardio and weight training sometimes

cardio after workout is something like draining ur phone batt before the next recharge....

so i toally knock myself out with cardio after a workout....

i myself do cardio for around 30 mins before workout
not like the speed of going pasar la =) i followed the program of the machine and i think its considered as intense cardio gua

what kind of program?

I usually jog for about 8-10 minute before working out to warm up my body. And I hate doing cardio. Felt ages while doing my cardio. I still prefer working out.

we definitely have a big range of ideas what a cardio session is. Mine is usually 5k on the thread mill in 30mins and that totally knocks me out for the rest of the day. Simply dont have the fitness to do cardio and weights in the same day anymore. Used to be able to do weights then go swimming but thats another story.

8-10 minute jog is more like warming up rather than a 'cardio' in my book =P

then dont wish your bodyfat% to go any lower without CARDIO

with my music on i can run for hours..

A lot of fitness articles I read suggested that cardio & weights be as removed from each other as possible. Meaning.. dun do it on the same day. But then again, as many here pointed out, it depends on how U define cardio. For me, anything more than 30 mins shud be considered cardio edi, anything below that is just warm up. I guess that depends on Ur fitness level. Also, I dun think doing 30 mins of warm up is a good idea...

& on another note, it is possible to burn fat with just weights alone, if U do it right.

i dropped from 21% of BF to 13% without cardio. Ask Darklight, he hates cardio too

I think consuming BCAA helps during cutting phase.

bcaa helps during cutting phase? what u got in mind? bcaa mainly for muscle recovery but never heard it helps during cutting

I tried HIIT for the first time yesterday using the cycling machine..1 mins 30 secs of normal cycling then 30 secs like cycle as fast as possible..I did it like 5-6 times and I was very exhausted....I kinda like it though coz I dont like cardio for long hours..

thats because you changed your DIET.. no fried no oily sure bf will drop alot. but how long does that take? how many years? with the help of cardio u can drop bf% in a shorter period

and also dont talk like u r so proud to drop bf% without cardio. a person who is doing cardio is alot healthier than those who dont
