cardio is a b*tch

[mousetraps]

so, i'm very lucky that the school gym is a block away from me, and i am able to do morning cardio, and shower afterwards... how much time does cardio take out of your morning? What's your routine? For example, today, I woke up, stood in front of the AC for 10 minutes, made coffee, read the forum for 20, then went out the door... etc.. Should I be literally heading for the door from bed? It would seem harder, but it would take less out of my day...What do you guys do?

get up.... make my morning constitution. grab my dog, backpack, water and start walking... 45-1hr later i get back...eat some eggs whites, ham and a huge glass of water..... then start lifting for about an hour.... shower and hop on here.... then i lift for about 30-45min every few hours. ive lost 10lbs in about 2 weeks....

I always allow 2 hours for cardio if I have something. Say I have class or work at 2..I'll wake up at noon. I started running into problems when I got on AR before I left because I'm slow getting ready etc..

I usually do cardio in the evenings. I work a 12 hour shift at the hospital and lift in the morning and run at night.

Cardio ..is what you make of it.....if you know you're doing to cut and get sliced then get hyped and it will go quick....one negative feeling and it can be dread full especially if you're hungry..nevertheless wake up in the morn...45 min.on an empty stomach....it rocks.

Wake up at 4:30am, brush my teeth, take vit. C, make a cup of green tea, throw on deoderant and clothes, grab my gym bag and out the door. I am on the treadmill by 5 am (only bc I have to be at work at 8am...and I have an hour commute

[mousetraps]

AM cardio is the best on an empty stomach.. back my wrestiling days i lived for am cardio to cut weight.. besides the point, a good 45min-1hr is more than enough if ur looking to get shredded & toned (running, jogging).. but some ppl having a hard time trying to lose weight may put an extra 1/2 hour after the running & use some light weight routine cardio (5lb weight arm toning movements, etc...)
