first of all are you on gear? if so don't run it will cause problems with your heart do more high resistance eliptical/stair and bike work, second if your goal is overall weight loss regaurdless of muscle wasting high intensity cardio is always better, however you say you're trying to cut so low intensity cardio as i mentioned in the first part is better for burning fat calories and avoiding muscle wasting due to intense cardio. If there is anything else that you want to know and you feel I am a reliable enough source all you have to do is message me and if you don't feel i'm reliable sorry to bother you lol

Bodybuilders typically follow a lower intensity cardio routine where the HR is at a maximum of 130 bpm; however, the sessions themselves are prolonged. This way, it is ensured that your metabolism will attack fat reserves only and there will be minimal stress on joints.

I also follow this routine when I cut, simply because it works. When you walk for 60 min at 125-130 bpm, and do this 5-6 times a week, those stubborn fat reserves start melting and your waist becomes thinner than what you would have initially expected from such a slow and boring process of just walking...

You have to love doing this type of cardio, you have to teach yourself how to love it, otherwise you'll never do it consistently, which seems to be the most common problem regarding the subject. So, don't be a cardio hater if you want to achieve your goal of loosing stubborn BF

Absolutely.

Try to do this 5 times a week, and with your current stats, the more is better.

Nice thread. I've been doing the elliptical for 33min @ 150 bpm. Guess I'll drop to 130 bpm and work up to 60 min. I need to drop a decent bit of fat.

Yes, this will also attack BF, but be careful with your joints.

There has to be something up with your nutritional intake.

Watch your current sodium intake and daily water consumption.

This means less sodium, more water.

Turkish Juicer,

I've always had a problem getting rid of the lower back fat. I've tried running with my heart rate up in the range of 160-170 for 25-30 min. It seems that I start burning muscle instead of fat. You're saying that I should drop my heart rate down and walk for long periods of time and that will burn that back stubborn back fat
