Cardio

[BigDane]

What sort of cardio do you all do?

Right now I'm going in the AM on an empty stomach. Using one of those Arctrainer machines. Usually go 30-35 minutes at a fairly high intensity level. The machine says I'm burning about 700 cals.

Seems a bit high IMO but I get an excellent sweat going. HR is up around 160
Im sure the xtralean has something to do with that :)

Interested in hearing what you all do and what you find works best for burning fat.

Trying to lean out a bit here as well.

Exact same as you, same time, same machine, same heart rate lol, but only burn around 500-550 cals in 30 mins.

Taking EC 30mins prior and sweat my balls off on there too :)

AM cardio's gotta be the best for burning fat, possibly with some HIIT thrown in there a couple times a week for good measure.

its wierd. i switched from 2 xtraleans before my cardio to 1 redline and 1 xtralean and all of a sudden I burned an extra 100-150cals.

prob just the machine lol.

How do you run the HIIT? 45seconds all out and then 15 slower?

Im loving the arctrainer. Find i get a way better sweat off it than i do on the standard ellipticals.

i do low intensity cardio and i usually use the stairmaster or the bike and i usually burn around 250 cals in 30 mins, but im doing 45 mins each session now

I used to see this guy do an hour of cardio at an insane pace and intensity and if I recall properly the machine said he burned 800 cal on the elliptical. Not so sure how accurate something like 500-700 is in 30-40 minutes. It`s possible, but you must be going hard!

To answer your question on how much cardio I do? None, unless I need to walk up the stairs when going somewhere.

HIIT usually do on the seated bike. 30 seconds all out then 60 slower. Go for around 15 mins of that.
