hi guys,
just want to ask, normally if we go to gym, are we just stick to 1 machine ? normally how long time we need to spend in gym? waht do we do in gym?pls advise and tell me, ok.. i never go to gym and hope to start soon..

thank you.

ermm... you can do what ever you like in the gym, no people will stop you from using any equipment and limit you for how long to stay at the gym. But recommended period of time in gym is 45minutes which is for those who lift heavy weight training.

i dun lift heavy weight lah.. how about the threatmill or the bicyle? do i have to reach the certain limit in order to get the fat burn? i mean walk fast and cycle fast...

- 45 mins (like iDK said) is enough already
- set ur gold (what do u want...lost weight or gain muscle..blabla..bla)
- routine is important (maksimum is 4-5 times a week) each time u go to gym u exercise different body part dont do same part everytime u go there..
- get enough rest (u only gain musle when u get enough rest) if u feel sleepy when u in gym stop and go home..no point to force ur body...
- dont talk so much in gym lol
- eat right foods...cut down ur sugar and dont smoke..eat more protein coz u killing ur muscle and u need to replace ur musle with protein hehehe

if u want lose some weight beside exercise u have to control ur diet...dont take too much carbo and fat..eat more protein..lift weight and treadmill will do..

Bicycle are usually for people to warm up, but some people spend 2 hours doing it, i find it is really useless cycling for 2 hours (working on legs only). Can cycle for 20 minutes, then do other workouts, then if you wish to cycle again.

If I want to burn fats, the first part of my body is definitely the abdomen.

Spare tire...

threadmill 8-10km...tts wat i do...but if im there for d dancing clas,it cld b whole lot longer in terms of hours...ie 6-8hrs...

eating right is vry important...wic i find darn difficult to practise stil even up til now...coz im a non-vege eater...milk n beef n many other healthy stuf are out of mylist...duno does d workout help in anyway 2sumhow 'counterbalance' d lose i encounter in diet ie. food

eat less, more exercise, and develop the muscles in the area that you want to lose.

diet is hard to control especially if you're living with family, but it still can be done.

And about gym, if you're just using it for cardio, why not jog round the house for 30min? same effect as using the gym. So its better to jog round the block than to waste money on a gym in that case. The main reason for gyms is that you get to use their free weights, in my opinion.

and for the cardio, keeping the activity up for more than 20mins will allow you to burn fat. But jogging does the same thing too.

cardio is like....wat n wat huh??

i thinks its more calories in < calories out, means you burn more than you consume

develop muscles in the area you want to lose fat? fat is loss on every part of the body when you exercise, you cannot decide where you want to lose fat. overall body fat will reduce when you exercise

both weights and cardio helps in reducing bodyfat. some say weights are more effective (i dunno true or not)

...

do you google?

cardio are exercises that make your heart beat at a fast pace for a continious period of time, such as jogging, cycling etc.

Weights build muscle which in turn help to burn fat while you're resting, and increases your metabolism.

icic...badminton squash ken b considred cardio?

den i luv cardio...it owiz makes us sweat n d after feeling is greattt

wht is cardio?is it the cycling machine?

... somethings you really should just GOOGLE...

example, typing in cardio into google results in

http://www.google.com.my/search?hl=en&q=cardio&meta=

and the first link from that search result is

http://exercise.about.com/cs/cardioworkouts/a/cardio101.htm

basic simple things like cardio or the difference between cardio, aerobic and aerobics can be easily resolved with google or wikipedia.

scroll up. I just explained 2 posts ago.

2 hours for me, start from warm up..
but sometime will take a nap inside if no ppl in there

not heavy build...
so just make all muscles tight enuf

whoa got time to nap while working out.. solute..

45mins - 1 hour is usually optimal for result (if not mistaken, it is due to hormone released). but i usually workout more than one hour.

i used to work out 1 - 2 hrs before this..then this guy (old timer) told me to train 30-45 mins no need to forced ur body that much...since our body need time to rest..and muscle will grow when u get enough rest...plus good foods and he remind me not to talk too much while working out..just keep on focus..then go home sleep/rest..
