just the fact that u are doing phisical activity that you enjoy is a winning! i personally think is a lil bit too much of cardio. you need to incorporate some type of weight lifting in between, and make sure to take care of your fuel (what you eat) its natural to get hungrier when you work out, so eat, but eat healthy. good luck!

Can a person undo cardio work by lifting weights during the same workout?

Question by wyldflwr34: Can a person undo cardio work by lifting weights during the same workout?
I’ve heard it said that a person can undo the good they are doing by a good cardio work out – if they go after that and lift weights…in the same time period. Is that true?

Best answer:

Answer by Nico W
No and yes. You can’t undo the fat loss since weights also make you lose fat
However, cardio deteriorates muscles and weights increase them which negates muscle loss and growth so you’ll stay the same muscle wise that is. Yes you’ll lose fat still

Best answer:

swimming is a type of cardio.
just not a very fat-burning cardio. consider switching one of your days with a 30 minute jog on the treadmill with incline.

Would cycling in a gym be a good enough cardio workout?

Question by : Would cycling in a gym be a good enough cardio workout?

Best answer:

Answer by John B
It all depends on how much effort you put in, and how long you do it for.

If you warm up correctly, and then get your heart rate up, and keep it there for a reasonable time, say over half an hour, then it will give you a good enough workout.

If you don’t like cycling in traffic, and can’t get to quiet roads, then it’s OK, but it can’t beat a ride in the country, and it’ll be uniform effort, because there will be no hills.

Can anyone suggest a maximizing workout for running/cardio?

Question by Dodger: Can anyone suggest a maximizing workout for running/cardio?
I am not sure how to get the best workout from running. I want to lean down.

How long am I suppose to run: distance, time? What speed?
How many times per week.

Not really important but, this would help as well:
What kind of food should I eat before and after the run?

Best answer:

Answer by Sweepy
I would suggest you start slow , like start with a couple blocks or a highschool track and then advance.

Is my cardio workout healthy/beneficial?(walking uphill on treadmill)?

Question by sunshine358599: Is my cardio workout healthy/beneficial?(walking uphill on treadmill)?
hey just thought I’d ask something to get some opinions on this. I havent had any problems with it, just curious to hear what other think. My cardio is always the same since thats what I am comfortable with and that’s what I love- I go on the treadmill, get it to the highest possible incline (15.0) and walk at 4.2 miles per hour (speed walking) for at least one hour. I have been doing this three times a week the past few months and combined with reducing my calories and eating lots of fruits and whole grains and no fast food or anything, I have gone from 130 in June to 113 now in Oct. In Sept I was 120, so I lost about 7 lbs or so this past month, just curious to hear what ppl think of my workout since you always hear suggestions to run more but I never see any posts recommending to walk UPHILL fast on the treadmill- yet it works for me!
