started cardio again...ugh

[broncojosh]

Started my cardio up again with a 3 mile run this morning. 2 1/2 weeks off of cardio, and not only have I become a fatass, but an out of shape on at that! I currently feel like I am going to die...now I remember how much cardio sucks. I am going to try splitting it up to twice a day, 3 days a week. Any thoughts?

Yeah I have to start cardio as well bro, it does suck. Since you're doing it in the morning I would do it 5 days a week but only in the morning. This way you develop a systematic routine which might be a little easier to keep rather than the 2x\day. If you want to get in shape quick then incorporate some Fartlek training in your routine after the first couple of weeks.

Heh yes it really does suck

I do cardio 5 times a week. 25 mins at target heart rate POST weights
and 35 at target non weight days

I hate every second of it but i just have to do it or i will lose everything i have worked for so far.

hehe just found out that my first BF % was wrong.. i started at 33% so today i just discovered i have lost another 3% in 26 days.. not a speed record but doing nicely for me
