I'm just looking for some workouts that have been used and worked for people for getting that bf% down and looking ripped. I'm running winni and clen right now. Third week of winni and first week of clen. Heard from a guy at the gym that "power" walking on an incline worked best for him. Any others? Thanks alot bros
i simply do fast brisk walking on a treadmill. as long as my hr is 65-75% of my max hr, i am good for pure fat burning.
thanks bro, i'll have to take note of my heart rate from now on, i didn't know that really had anything to do with burning fat.
im goign to start as well, i never ever ever do cardio and im starting to get love handlesQuote:

i can't seem to find any heart rate monitors anywhere online for cheap. I'm finding everything at more than 50 bucks. Any place you know of that there are cheaper ones?

Make sure your diet is in check too. AandF6969 went on a cutting diet a month ago and didnt do any cardio and lost about 6 or 7 lbs. I went on the same diet last week and I lost 2.5lbs. Granted last week was our off week at the gym, but I did my running in the morning (lite jog for 2 miles) and I noticed the droppage today.
Diet is just as important if not more so than the cardio for losing fat. Anyway just like everyone else said, walk in the AM on an empty stomach 65%-75% HR. Ive cleaned up my diet and done cardio for a week and I can already tell a difference in the tightness of my stomach and chest in particular.

totally agree. since being strict on the diet part i feel like my whole body, esp my abs are lookin better. :banana:Quote:

Bottom line, the best cardio to get chisled is whatever cardio you want to do. If you want to maintain your muscle while getting chisled then you will walk briskly. If you want an added boost, read the clen handbook and see if its for you

i'm already on clen right now, i'm almost a week into it. My diet is pretty good now, it could be better and i'm working on it. I will definately look into the heart rate monitor and keeping that at the point where i'm burning fat though.
thanks for the info, good post bros.
whoops, maybe i should have reread the orig. postQuote:

How do you figure out your max heart rate?
The whole heart rate thing is pretty foreign to me I'm embarassed to admit.
you guys say taht you like to do cardio somewhere between 65-75% hr.. what does this mean? what if your hr is more then 75? or under 65 when doing cardio...?? just curious..

so a brisk walk is better then jogging in your opinion?

your max heart rate= 220 bpm minus your age. I am 23 so my max=197(Never EVER go higher) then to get the most eficient FAT burning range you have to work out 65-75% of THAT number (so for me it is 65-75% of 197) thaerfore I train between 150 and 168bpm ISH (I dont have a calculator)

some peopel say 65-70% and some say 65-75% of max. . for me, 70% is a 140 and 75% is a 150. that would make a huge difference to the intensity of my cardio.
is one more "right" than the other?
Just curious. What should I keep mine at? 30 years old, 6'1" 300 pounds.
It shouldnt make that much of a difference, You can probably just increase the incline to acheive it. You just dont want to go above 75% or below 65%. You will see a minimal difference btwn them but of course 75% is optimal.Quote:

You still burn fat if you are over 75%, you just burn muscle along with it. Thats why if your goals have nothing to do with strength/size/muscle, but to simply lose weight then run your little heart out.Quote:

another question bro's
i'm running Clen right now and my resting HR is around 114. my max rate is 199, which leaves my 60% at 119 and my 70% at 139. When i walk fast on an incline my HR is like 155-160. Should i just keep going with what i'm doing walking on the incline or change to a different exercise?
Does it matter how heavy you are? Does this formula works for 30 years 200lbs and 30 years 300lbs man? :unsure:Quote:

this particular machine help me
achieve a 4% BF
for my one and only contest
theirs nothing like it
I PROMISE!!!
also running in place for 30-45mins.
i guess i am different from everyone else what has always worked well for me, is short cardio that is 100% balls to the walls.
the program i usually do is this. 4 minutes the first 2 sessions. 30 seconds jogging, 30 seconds sprinting absolute full speed, repeat until you get to 4 minutes.
every second session go up 1 minute.
it sounds easy, but unless you are in tip top cardio shape, it is humbling.
