How much cardio do you do?

[Bodacious]

I have been doing and where from 25 to 35 mins on the treadmill for 6 days a week. Well my knees started to bother me. Didnt know if I was over soo.g them or what. Out of the six days one day I go to the park and play tinis. What do you think. I am afraid if I don't I will gain weight back that I ha e lost. Jan 2 I was at 238
This past Monday I was at 207

Don't want to gain it back.

Other thing I can do for cardio?? I jump rope today for a few min. Not long tho bc that didn't seem to help it lol. Thanks

I had same issues when I was a lot heavier. Try low impact cardio. Bike, elliptical, incline treadmill walking.

Diet is going to be your key to success dude. You can do all the cardio in the world but if you don't eat right all your cardio well be a waste of time.

Use diet as your foundation of weight loss and cardio as a supplement is what a knowledgeable member on here told me when I first started getting serious.

diet, fasted low intensited long duration..

that is 110 hrt on a treadmill, or olypical.. but you can't go much over 110... (for most people)

Inclined treadmill walking is not a good advise for someone who have complaints about knee/joint pain to take, as the incline will make this only worse.

As for the heart rate for burning fat, I don't see why I would burn something else (muscle tissue, glycogen) as opposed to burning fat if I walked for 45-60mins at 125-130 bpm, fasted or not.

stationary/recumbant bike 30 minutes at varying levels from intense to minimal, every other day

Apart from diet and cardio I found that changing my running shoes really reduced the paid I felt in my knee. Shoes that absord impact

There are all kinds of new insoles for your shoes as well. I use some gel pads for work and I m ow others who use them for running and work awesome

That sounds painfully boring and dull.. Curious to How u came up with this number? Sounds low to me.. I typically shoot for 130-135 @45mins..

I am a huge fan of spinning and very easy on the knees. I think cross training is very important so that the body doesn't get overused /underused by the same routine.

[GirlyGymRat]

and I do 1 hour spin class 3-4 days per week. I do a step bench class 1 per week, 3 1 hour weight classes. sometimes I get a 30 min run or incline tread mill.....YUP, I am a cardio junkie!

If you are worried about gaining weight your diet/caloric intake/macros will be much more effective than messing with cardio.
