I like the elliptical with the arms for HIIT...get a good shoulders, arms and legs workout. Also while on there I try to keep my core tight for the whole 40 minutes ... ex-haul all my air and tighten like a vacuum, works abs!

elliptical tomorrow it is!!!

[RaginCajun]

Did chest, shoulders, and tris

15 minutes on elliptical

Both done fasted

[bethdoth]

I used to have cramps in my calves every time I ran, once I switch to the elliptical no more cramps. It's better for your hips and knees anyway. Look up Lyle Mcdonald stubborn fat for some ideas. This is how I went from 26%BF to 11% in 6 months, back when I was 50!

4 in a row!

15 minutes on bike and 23 minutes on elliptical, fasted cardio done! Liking the elliptical, had been a while since I utilized it, thanks for reminding me rhoag

[bethdoth]

Another thing I like to do is stage my music on my ipod for various timed workouts. Easy warm up music 5 minutes, then something that rocks with a good beat for 35 minutes. Disappear into the music and go!!!!
I am changing things up a bit with my lifting to build more muscle.

I do the same thing! I would do it on my runs and when a pumped up song would come on, I would pick up the pace!

40 minutes fasted cardio on elliptical

Felt good. Feel like it is helping out my lower back. When going 'backwards', I really focus on my glutes and lower back, and I think it is helping some of my issues..

[bethdoth]

When you start to have joint and tendon issues IMHO the stationary bike and elliptical are the best. You can still get a good workout and keep the joints lubricated and in use without the pounding of running. Since I have a titanium hip I can't run so elliptical it is. Try different style ellipticals, some mimic the movements of running better than others.
Here is something you might find interesting. Elliptical Workouts For Injured Runners - Competitor.com Also if you search there is are a few good thread about a fat lose stack... I think Girlygirl has some experience with that.
I am a firm believer in mixing things up every now and then.

keep up the intensity buddy. Dropping 1-2 pounds each week is perfect. Good job!

[RaginCajun]

definitely have to keep the intensity up!

did you see that label i posted about the sugar free cheesecake pudding? the whole packet is about 100 cals and usually only use a 1/3rd of the packet at a time, so 33 cals to add great flavor to change it up is not bad at all!

[RaginCajun]

at the local grocery near the jello and spice isle

it helps me feel like i am cheating and goes great with cottage cheese. i switch it up from cheesecake, pistachio, lemon, banana cream, butterscotch, and chocolate (all sugar free jello pudding). i mix it with just a tad of milk and put it in the freezer for about 15 minutes to make it feel like i am eating ice cream!
