60 mins AM fasted cardio at 5:45AM
Almost missed it this AM. New cell phone and alarm was not set correct. lucky woke p 5:30 and made it to gym by 5:45.
good job there al ;)
60mins is more than i was able to do..i always did 45.. mainly due to laziness :) so my hats off to u!
Good job on the cardio. I wish my job allowed me to do fasted cardio. No way I am waking up at 4:00 AM though to do cardio.
I like to say the stars have aligned perfectly to allow me to concentrate on training. The gym is a 2 minute walk from my house, my kids are in college, my job is pretty steady 9-5, and my wife does not get home from work until 7:30PM so she cant sidetrack me from going to the gym after work. Pretty much ideal conditions.
Thanks for stopping by.
Keep lining up the stars......it works!

60 Mins fasted cardio @ 7:00AM
just stoppn by to say hey.. "hey" :)
Whats up 405 hope you are having a great weekend.
Keep it up dude, how many days a week you usually get fasted cardio in? Did you work your way up to 60mins? I'm at about 45 max right now but i've been thinking of bumping it up to an hour after reading over your logs.
I started 2 years ago really when I was 282lbs. Gradually bumped up from 30 mins to 60mins. When I started this log I went right to 60mins a day 6x week AM fasted and PM I will do some nights 30mins after weights or 60mins on my off day. So in total I am doing up to 7x a week 60mins and 2-3 times a week 30mins. I will have to cut back a bit this week because I have some nasty blisters on my feet from all this cardio. I will try to do the 6x AM fasted cardio since I think that is the best for fat loss but cut out the PM cardio until my foot heals.
Mate we may have to discuss your opinions on the best cardio for fat loss. I rarely get chance to do more than 1 fasted cardio per week. Most of my. Urging cardio comes from 2-3 PWO HIIT sessions per week. I find it a more efficient fat burner than steady state fasted.Quote:

great progress!
Not necessarily. If I had time I would do HIIT 3x per week and fasted twice. Too much HIIT will burn you out so mixing it up is great. So PWO HIIT for 20 mins followed by 20 mins LIC (if you have time) will provide a greater thermogenic effect than 60 mins fasted LIC. But not everybody has time for that!
Does it matter when you do the HIIT? I am in a good groove doing my cardio in the morning and actually feel energized all day after doing it. Can I do 3 days HIIT in the AM and 3 days LIC AM?
