    Exclamation Cardio Workout

    currently im workng weird hours in a night club so your day is my night and your night is my day (if you get wat im saying) i have found a new gym 2 mins walk from the club that is open when i wake up, about 5pm. i want todo my cardio before i eat as this is best for loosing weight.

    this is my cardio workout what do you guys think

    15 mins cycle (getting harder every couple of mins)
    5 min rest
    15 mins running (interval training)
    5 min rest
    15 mins cross trainer

    my aim is to loose about 24lbs in a couple of months, with a clean diet does this seem possible.

    my stats at the moment are:
    age: 23
    height: 5ft 11inch
    weight: 194lbs
    lifting for a couple of years

    cardio is best done (this is for fat loss mind you, not health conditioning) at 60-75%MHR for 40-60min to acquire the greatest ratio of fat burning. ^^on empty stomache MORNING


    otherwise you will burn protein for fuel.. this is bad ><

    I fail to see what FIVE minutes of rest in between events is going to do.

    That's far too long.

    I agree with TAI.

    Continious cardio is where its at! 40-60 min at 65%-75% of heart rate! go get a heartrate monitor and use the formula of 220-age * 65% or 75%

    So when is a better time for cardio? Morning on an empty stomach? or right after your workout? providing you don't workout in the morning.
