It rather depends on your pulse and the duration of cardio. But if u dont eat you will lose muscles.

if you keep to low intensity, are eating right and getting enough rest then you should be able to burn fat..and keep alot...if not all muscle...get a heart rate monitor...i got mine off ebay for £10....also if you want to keep as much muscle as pos you should also be doing a weight routine...

ahh fvck that.. i aint going to wake up early to do a cardio session .. Its going to be better when i buy a bike then i could ride bike to gym and ride back home . Its around 11km from my place to gym so 22km cycling a day should be enough

[energizer bunny]

whatever you thinks best......i go out on my bike quite abit aswell and i enjoy that a whole lot more than running.....but since i started a.m cardio the results are better...and i used to pedal to gym and back...so ive done both...go for it...if it doesnt work..then try something else...good luck

[thai-lan]

i see , i guess i will try them both for a month long and find out what works the best for me..
HhahaH or we might go do some yoga or some break dance for cardio

[energizer bunny]

i thats the best way...then you know what works...LOL ive actually thought about learning break/street dancing....maybe oneday.

[thai-lan]

what kind of bike do you have by the way?

[energizer bunny]

ive got a GT aggresor mountain bike....bought it brand new £450 that was 2 years ago...its a decent bike for the coin...some of my mates have £1000s worth of bikes...i didnt want to spend that much.

[thai-lan]

i want to get GT avalanche 2.0 (with V brakes) , ill be riding it in city so i dont need disc brakes but maybe in the future .. As soon as i buy it i will change the tires with slicks then by time i want to change stem and handlebar too

You want results but dont want to do the work?

[thai-lan]

i do the work atleast 5times a week and 30mins per a session so either way im going to get the results but might take longer..

I got classes in the morning tho so i dont know if its ok to go run then shower get ready and go study

I start work at 7am so I get up at 430am to get in my first 45 minute cardio session, then after work I hit the weights then another 30-45 minute cardio session 7 days a week.

Not trying to come down on you I just see so many people that want hard core results but wont put in hard core work.

Fireguy.....do you do cardio on leg days??

[FireGuy]

Fireguy.....do you do cardio on leg days??

Yes, first thing in the morning and again post workout. After leg cardio is the one time a week I will do recumbent bike instead of treadmill, stairmill or elliptical. IMHO this is some of the easiest fat buring you will ever do. I can go at a very low intensity level for 30-40 minutes and still maintain a HR of 130 the entire time after legs.

[energizer bunny]

i always thought it was best not to do cardio on leg days.....i think ill give it a shot next routine....maybe after weights first though.

cheers..

I hear that quite a bit around here and would be interested in hearing the theories and reasons behind it. Personally I think it's just an excuse to do less cardio.

[energizer bunny]

LOL i cant even remember why i thought that...but always have.....definately going to add it from now on..

[makod]

Riding your bike to the gym will deplete muscle glycogen and will give you less energy for your workout. PWO it is great to burn fat at around 130pm as fireguy does.

couldnt have said it better myself

Fireguy1 would the 2 sessions of cardio be need it? Or can you get by with just cardio for 30 min after weight lifting? Also would the postworkout anabolic window be lost if you do the cardio after weights? I did not mean to highjack this thread it's just that is very similar in topic. Thanks in advance

[FireGuy]

I always do at least 15 minutes of cardio PWO even if I have already done a session in the AM. To me its one of the easiest fat burning opportunities you get.
