Been doing Hi Intensity Cardio(sprints at the track) run 220, walk 220- for a total of 20mins 3x per week for the last 1 1/2 years in that time I have gone from 185 lbs @12/13% bf to 210 lbs @ 8% bf...All I can say is that Hi intensity has worked for me

When you walk is it fast walking or just casual walking?

Not casual but not speed walking either-As you get further into your sprints say the 7th or 8th one you are usually just using the time to somewhat catch your breath..

BG- how many sprints do you do. I did my first HIT cardio this morning and I liked it. I did 5 minutes warmup walking. then did 1 minute intervals of 7.5 mph and 2.5 mph. I only did 6 intervals though and then ended with a 5 minute cool down. I'll increase it tomorrow.

I do them at the track near my home, in 20-25 mins I usually get in @10-12 sprints @ 25sec per sprint

Oh yeah...interval training. That stuff kicks your ass. In a good way that is. Before Cancun last year we did some interval training and I lost quite a bit of fat in only about 3 weeks. Doing 2x400m 3 x 200m 4 x 100m. All of these are done at a fast sprint. It only works out to be about 1.5miles and your done in about 20-25 mins.

sooooo excited!! Did two HIT cardio's this week already. felt really good. shins are sore afterwards though. maybe the fina or maybe just need to get them in shape as I never use a treadmill for cardio. I'll be doing the HIT cardio Mon, Tues, Thurs, and Friday. You'll see my before and after pics when I'm done with cycle.

Your shins are sore from the HIT -nothing hits the tibias anterior like sprinting.

I figured I'd update you guys as promised with this HI cardio. I've been doing it for exactly 5 weeks know. I can't believe the results. I've been doing the high intensity cardio 4-5 days week in the mornings. Never more than 30 minutes. Lifting at night. Not doing the cardio on an empty stomach anymore either. I take a protein shake upon wakening and it's about an hour before I actually get to the gym and begin the workout. I weighed myself this morning. My results so far for 5 weeks are: went from 220# to 199#. Feel a lot leaner, harder, and my strength has not been hurt one bit. Don't know BF%'s because I refuse to get it measured unless I can find a place that does hydrostatic weighing. everything else is way too inaccurape to post results off of.

before and after pics will be coming in around 4 weeks. Waiting to finish cycle. I might be cutting it short because every muscle is aching from ed injections for the past 12 weeks. I already gave up on the fina last week because I had three straight days of the fina cough. I think everyone here knows about my love for the fina cough.:angry:

interesting gymrat, maybe this guy is on to something.

about how many calories are in your shake before cardio?

 

[evilgoach]

Yeah but, if you are on aas I doubt you would go catabolic at anytime so some of his points are mute.
