Did my first Cardio session, how much is too much?

[MayTryIt]

I did cardio for the very first time in my life last night. Im 29... I kept my heart rate at 133-139 for 55 min. 4 mph seems to be perfect for me lol. Anyway cardio is not as dreded as people make it out to be. Can I do it for lest say 100 min? or would I start to burn muscle? Im trying to get down to 185 but keep my muscle...Im 205 today...here are my pics in this thread.

when are you doing your cardio?

[domeyeahaigh]

Yo dude, for me cardio is somethin i do for about 45-60 min 4-5 times a week...my neighbor (who trains with a certain pro and who is BIG AS **** natty) says do it as much as possible if you are trying to cut..he says if you can do it 7 days a week go for it...but 100 min? i mean..that is a little much lol.

Doing the Cardio in he AM on an Empty stomach. Thanks for the insight Dome. I happen to be friends with a guy who has been in a few magazines...hes just a bitch to get a hold of. I was talking to him about AAS, he was like..."Get your nutrition in check, your still young and you never did AAS before, so get you body right and when you do them you will look Fing Awesome"

id stick to 45 mins mate...then when you hit a plateau move to 60 mins and so on.....i wouldnt worry to much about loseing muscle at this point..its harder than you think if your diet is in check...

Thanks Bunny, people are telling me 40/40/20 for diet. Ill going for that see how much fat I can rid off my fat ass. I worked out for a while back when I was 20-21. 6-7% BF 180 lbs...Man those were the days.

diet is always hard mate.....i can train my ass off all the time but the diet is always a sticking point LOL.....trying to find what works best is the hard part.....

Thanks!!

for your age your target hr for fat burning is 124 so Im not too sure if 133-139 is good for longer than 30-45 min.

Check with Fireguy on this one....

[MayTryIt]

Thanks man...124 seems like im not doing anything, lol. Cardio seems kind of easy for some reason

Ill PM FireGuy and ask him to post here

Keep in mind cardio (fat burning) isnt supposed to be hard. That said,, I dont see any reason why you cant bump your HR up into the mid 130's like you stated. As far as 100 minutes a day. I dont see any reason why you couldnt although I would split in into two sessions. I wont do more than 60 minutes straight.

Much Thanks FireGuy for the quick response. I think Ill do 60min in the AM and like 45 in the PM.

Thanks again...its much appreciated!

too much, your only trying to take off 20 lbs here. You dont need to do that much

[MayTryIt]

Thanks Big,
Any suggestions?

Im seeing the other dudes her lose 50+ pounds. I really dont have it that bad, and I got a great body under this fat, lol. Cant wait to get it off...that all

[MayTryIt]

Bump for any extra info.

[FireGuy]

I would tend to agree, unless the OP simply wants to speed up the process. He could definately do a bit less and still achieve his goal.

Thanks again Fire. Just trying to be ready for when the son comes out. Im looking at 4-5 inches of snow here in Saint Louis . Also, Im trying to keep from burning up any muscle in the process of loosing the fat. I keep looking at my pics from when I was 180 lbs and 6-7& BF to keep me motivated

What do you think the time frame would be to get down to 185-190 with a 40/40/20 diet? Ill be doing 200g protein / 200g carbs / 100g fat

60 min Cardio AM / 4 day split workout

I weighed 202 this morning...was probably dehydrated some.
