cardio/weights. it all depends on your goals.
read the stickies to understand more.

glove is really really subjective. some say yes, some say no. i, for one don't use gloves.

10-20 minute cardio?
what ratio should it be?
sometimes after gym a particular part of my muscle will ache to much it makes me shy away from gyms. :\

hey bro.
saw ur height n weight.
which is almost same like me slightly overweight.
I'm 180 n around 86kg.

where it's serious pain, that means u r over doing it.

yeah my thighs are huge.:\

do you play basketball?
If u do, i have one thing that you can try.
Which can boost ur vertical and make ur thigh smaller.

nope. no basketball.

Lots of your questions can be answered by reading the pinned thread in this section. After you have read them all, you shouldn't be confuse anymore.

i do basketball. i got huge thigh... i need something to make it small.

Stop using your legs.

lol!! dan, what an answer..hahaha..

it doesn't matter if its basketball or taekwondo.. i have huge calves and huge thighs as well (got it from my dad)...

there were people who told me to stop working out on leg exercises as it will make my legs bigger...not true, combining it with cardio, i realized my thighs reduced in size and became leaner compared to when i first started..i'm only 172cm currently at 74kg...

jogging/running on the threadmill, doing leg exercises (resistance training) will help to reduce your overall body fat (you can't spot reduce) and firm and tone your legs as well

this is from my personal experience, so don't shoot me if i'm wrong =p

try liposuction.

+ 1

if i play basketball, what do u have to make the thigh smaller?

Yea, i did jog and run 5 days per week, 20-30 minutes. enough?

You're are woefully in the dark about fitness. And if you played any basketball at all you would have realised most of your jump power is from your calves.

Read the stickies before the regs troll the hell outta ya.

The guy above you has thee right points. Read and learn.

get a knife, trim it down.

what is it bro?

Sigh

you need cardio and weight at the same time..
need muscles to boost up your metabolic rate. ask a consultant for a better idea..
