cardio?

[colinwoods84]

hope this the right spot for this but I need to know how to loose about 30lbs! I'm in the military and no matter how far I run or how ever many push ups or sit ups I do I get no where. I read about getting a heart rate monitor and slowing down but that will just kill my legs. I'm trying to really focus back fat, love handles, and chest. I have cleaned my diet up but still am getting no where. Does anyone have any cardio and exercises I should focus on?

I feel your pain bro. But I think you touched on it....diet. How many meals a day are you eating? Run can be an absolute bore so give circuit training a try. I was in a similar position and I quit running and took up boxing and jits. Both great ways to get in shape that break up the monotony of typical cardio. Good luck!

My pics need to be updated since it has been over a month. Ive tightened up even more. Im down to 206 lbs now and look better. If you scroll down to bottom of the page, you can see my workout if you want to give it a try.

Adam I just took a look at your results and looks great man. Do you mind hitting me up on an email. If you got the time to answer a few more questions that would be awesome. I do not get that much time on here with my work schedule but I can check and reply to emails on the regular with my phone. my email is [email protected]

You need heavy-intense resistance training plus a carb cycling diet to expel the fat fast.

[colinwoods84]

well i guess my problem is i really do not know what heavy resistance training is. I know what a lifting weights is. I am really not knowledgeable about all this. I would love to know more if you dont mind.

Keep lifting weights, sit ups/push ups if thats what your use to, but increase the amount of cardio you do, thats all.

I do a combination of high intensity (running on the tredmill), & low intensity cardio (moderate pace on the stairmaster) around 3-4 times a week for 30-60 min usually. I find if you mix your cardio exercises up, its alot easier than just doing the same one every time.

I have around 25-30 lbs to lose myself to be around my goal also.
So try my routine, along with eating healthy as possible, & not eating before bed, and that extra flub should go away in no time...just make sure your consistent with all this.

Good luck!

Yeah i will do. Its just that I like to run but I have heard and read that running too much will target more muscle loss than fat.

Concentrate on weightlifting for now. If you want to run, do some HIIT type training 2-3 times a week along with slow steady pace cardio the other days. The more lean muscle mass you have the more calories/fat you will burn.
