I think you found the word. Starts with an "L" and ends with a "g" and three letters long.

Looking good doll!

Do you add any sprints to your workouts?

I would like to see one sprint workout a week in there if you can fit if

[bethdoth]

Why do you limit cardio to normally less than 25 minutes? I know slow and steady, but more burns more.

[SlimmerMe]

to Cajun: Sprints? Will do sprint pool laps. Coming soon. Real soon. Almost swam laps today. Good idea. Thanks!

to rhoag: 25 minutes, more or less. Sometimes more, sometimes less depending on where and what and such. Maybe I need a day or two off. Haven't missed a day of cardio in 6 months. Not one day. Thinking it might be time. Thanks!

WOW that's dedication 6 months! I haven't missed a day in 1 day LOL I skipped cardio after lifting yesterday because my shoulders were on fire. Today will be chest and 30 minutes cardio. I really need some of your motivation to get my a$$ out of bed at 4:15 AM to be at the gym at 5 AM for fasted HIIT. I have put on 17 pounds in the past 8 weeks, it is time to start cutting again.

[SlimmerMe]

WOW that's dedication 6 months! I haven't missed a day in 1 day LOL

Yep and when this started, cardio 2x's a day for the first 2 weeks and many times two cardios a day, thereafter. I'm honestly trying to ramp up the workouts vs. cardio to see if there's a difference. Suppose I'm weaning the cardio a bit.

But thanks for your input, rhoag. Most appreciated.

[xader2000]

do you every day 20-25min cardio?

[SlimmerMe]

do you every day 20-25min cardio?

Cardio every single day. Most between 30-35 minutes.

When starting out, fasted cardio for at least 22 minutes (my route) and then a second cardio later in the day for a high intensity cardio usually around 30-35 minutes. Sometimes 40 minutes or more.

But my main rule is a minimum of 20. No less. And it's rare to be close to 20 minutes except for the past few weeks, as I'm switching things up.

But yes every single day since I started this thread about 6 months ago-- every single day. Rain or shine.

Is this what you're after?

Thanks. During the pool jog, I do a lot of upper body. The entire time, actually. Feels like barbells since jumping waist high. But not a replacement, so I hear ya.

Thanks Cajun.
