2hours of cardio? you going for a 10-14 mile run?

what about weights/resistance work? if you're looking to lose fat this is the best way to do it.

what's your goal in this? fat loss, weight gain, specific requirements of a sport maybe?

i just want to look fit,no run, ill be just walking to my workplace,luckily im wearing a black shirt ,so the sweats are'nt that visible. No weight lifting, im afraid that i might injure myself.



Endurance.

i am overwieght too.
i weigh 90kg
i want to lose fat but i dont like to run
walking ok but no jogs.
and i dont like wieghtlifting.
and if can i dont want to diet oso.
i like to eat nasi lemak cyberia and burger cheese special at la tumis(smarthome cafe).
and wat is cardio?
if too hard i dowan that oso.
need to lose 20kg in two weeks.
please help

you dont have to worry about injury, www.bodybuilding.com has great info and techniques you can follow.

not going to get much endurance from a brisk walk, heck my mom can walk fast for 2-4 hours but cant run for 30 minutes. run home from work maybe?

lol,.

since you dont want weights, running or jogging...

walk before breakfast, as close to your wake up time as you can. pushups, squats can be done without weights makesure you have the right form and technique.

dont have to diet, just stop eating foods that are made to give you a cardiac arrest by the time you're 40.

cardio as in cardiovascular fitness, usually people saying cardio mean aerobic exercise. aerobic exercise includes aerobics, running, jogging, blablabla. they say cardio because the exercises are meant to keep your heart at an elevated heart beat rate and by doing so improves heart muscle efficiency blablabla. i'm too lazy to explain so go to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aerobic_exercise

if its too hard dont want to do... stay fat.

20kg in 2 weeks... are you serious? no way, even people who work hard for it wouldnt be likely to attain that, you're damn sure not going to lose that much in that amount of time, not with your attitude.

are you being sarcastic like fleshwound says you are? cause if you are, lol. if you're not, wow butterball gg.

you need lipo and go under the knife

But I'm controlling it right now.

and I know what is cardio
it wasn't too hard and i'm doing it now oso.

need to lose spare tyre and fats in 6 months.
please help

Hey man im serious here, anyway just walking alone for an amount of time will burn the excess fats in time right?

Can anyone explain to me what "over-exercise" is?

how much time amount required to burn excessive fatties?
i`ve been walking to coll 4 the past 4months.and not much diff at all..

Of course you cant see the difference, you see yourself in the mirror everyday, so you can differentiate or even tell the difference, you need other people views.

walking alone won't be sufficient lar

why not tell us how tall & heavy you are? Then we might be able to advice how to shed some fat of yours

im 75kg 170cm 5'8 . But i think walking alone for 2 hours a day is sufficient and i dont have the time to do all the workouts,by the time i get home it will be around 8 and by 10 i have to go to sleep as i have to wake up at 6 and start walking to work, anyway it's either this or diet, i don't think i can afford to spend more time on workout's. Any suggestions?

im 182 and weighs 70kg. trying to reduce weight so tat can jump higher in bball...

182 and 70kg man youre thin... you wanna get ripped is it...

Ok i think 182 and 70kg

spend less than 1 hour on a slightly more intensive cardio workout and 15 minutes with simple weights, works ALOT better than 2hours of walking.

182/70 is fine, in basketball you dont want to be too light, you need mass to be able to take rebounds and hold positions. lightweight tall guys are easy to push off and get round. strengthen your leg muscles if you want to jump higher, only reason to get lighter is to increase air time.

wanan try this?

1.Jog medium speed, 5 minutes
2.increase to about 80% of your maximum capability, 3 mins
3.Increase to 100% of your capability, 15 seconds

Repeat, 5 sets

some mathematics...

assumption: no change in diet
u mentioned that u want to lose 20kg of fats.
Body fat contains about 8 Calories/g of energy.
walking for a hour consumes about 200Calories.

it means that u need to walk (20 x 1000 x 8 / 200) = 800 hours to burn 20kg fats.

u want to lose 20kg in 2 weeks, then u just need to walk 800 / 14 = 57 hours daily

yup. walking consumes about 200 - 300 Calories per hours. a tin of Coke may give u more energy than 300 Calories.

Man this is gonna take such amount of time.

haaa....this wil scare him quite abit....

btw...me...not tall...gal...les den 50kg but i wan to lose another few kg...and haf toned ,fit body:)
play badminton kinda often...yoga fr time to time...jog with my frens whenever time allowed for 1-2.5hr, swim occasionali...sleep abit too long...luv junkfd but ken resist the temptation most of the time...
dis doesn seem 2 help me reducing much weight....is it because my body is so use to all dis exercise??

surprisingly...if i eat right(3proper meal) daily , without exercise, i ken stil lose weight...but dis nv happen when im active in sports...

myfren suggests that we cant push ourselves 2much else there wont b weight reduction/wil cauase bad effect...true?? but i dun think im overstretced as yet...coz stil doesn feel real exhausted after all d game n exrcise...

how to lose weight ark...??

from ur post, i think u r fit and definitely not fat.
u can jog for 2.5 hours

muscle is much much heavier than fat. that's y ppl active in sport r quite "heavy".
but sport can give u leaner look. gals with lean muscles r definitely more feminine than skinny gals.

genetics determines our body type as Ectomorph, Mesomorph, or Endomorph. we need to love our body and accept our physiques as long as we r healthy and fit. there's no point of spoiling our bodies just to lose weight.

if u r serious to be slimmer, then u should measure ur body fat first
how to measure Body Fat
(i just pinch my stomach skin and lower back skin to estimate my body fat)
then u need to target at reducing ur body fat and ignore about ur weight.

thanks for ur token T+1

nowonder myfren said i look thinner den another fren yet my weight is about the same wif her..tt's 1..'disadvantage' being active in sports huh..keke...nvm...as long i never disclose...no1 knoe hehe

tht 2.5hrs got rest 2minutes in between geh...sumtimes jog jog hafway malas den walk abit onli continue jogging keke

btw...even though i hav no proper instrument to measure my body fat...i suppose i better reduce it than accumulating them then regretting at my later age....so any advice for reducing body fat??im sure that can help my body looks better:)

Weight not so important. Health more important.

health is ofcz the most important...but our food intake and living habit has owiz deteriorate our health sumhw or rather...tts y i belif exercise helps...but i wan to lose sum fat if possible...js like any other gal wish...no matter how thin they are...keke

oh ya....i find vegetable so so so darn difficult to gulp down after surviving for 22 yrs ...noe that's sad but...i reli hate it..n...i hate sun..dun like milk..

but...life goes on....n 2day is my exercise day of the week..haa...

i did 20-30 mins cardio exercise early in the morning b4 taking breakfast (3 times every week). after two months, i lost 2 kg of body fat and my waist shrink from 33" to about 30".

morning bcoz no more energy from food after 8-10 hours from last meal. so the body will burn fat for energy. this is info i got from a book, dunno whether it is true or not, but it works

(now no more doing this as i hate to wake up early )
