getting frustrated

[Back In Black]

Stem...when you say "rest" do you mean stop or just slow down and catch your breath??

That's what I mean yes.

Either bud, whatever it takes. I find starting again easier if I'm moving a little already. Maybe the correct word would have been recover.

[Bmwgirl11]

This is what I've recommended to another female on this site and to others that I know.

5 minutes warm up

15 seconds absolutely maximum effort
45 seconds rest
(Do this up to 10 times = 10 minutes)

Then
20mins steady state at approximately 70% max heart rate/rate of perceived exertion(RPE)

Then
30seconds at 85%RPE
30seconds rest
(Do this 5 times)

Ideally you want to this in the absence of insulin so it's best done fasted or AFTER your resistance work. If your shin splints bother you then miss out the last set of intervals and just carry on with the 70% work.

What footwear are you wearing when doing cardio?

Reebok Zig fly running shoes

No 8am protein?

[Bmwgirl11]

No, lol I need to add some in soon. But I devised this to manipulate my fat burning. May not be the best way but I'm no pro lol. It's working so far but know I can't do it for long

How do you mean, manipulate the fat burning?

[Bmwgirl11]

Believe it or not, not hungry until about an hour before I workout. But it gives me the closest I can get to a fasting cardio workout.

Replace that toast with 3 or 4 egg whites and a 1/2 cup oats or brn rice, toss some low fat cottage cheese in for a bed time snack!

Stopped oats the last time they had me yakking. Could be cause of how fast I scarfed them down. Lol but it's mostly because of time. I get up ass early to get me and two other kids ready for school...... BUT... You all haven't steered me wrong yet so tomorrow I will add in egg whites. Thank you Lunk1 and SteM

[Bmwgirl11]

And usually I throw in half the amount of protein shake for a bedtime snack.

Real food is so much more benificial than all the shakes whenever possible. Cassien in cottage cheese is a slow digest protein that will feed your body and muscles through out the night!

My wife mixes the oats right in with her egg whites and flavors with cinnimon!

[Bmwgirl11]

I will definitely replace the last half shake with cottage cheese. Don't know about the oars lol still hesitant but ill def do the egg whites and brown rice (yum)
