*.* NEW- 2014 General Fitness Thread *.*
I guess we filled up the old one... http://www.chiefsplanet.com/BB/showthread.php?t=280149
Welcome to 2014! Now get your ass in top physical condition! No one else started it so here it is! **From the 2013 Thread** If you want to get back into lifting, or need a new lifting routine, START HERE: http://startingstrength.wikia.com/wi...inner_Programs If you have questions about the SS programs, look here: http://startingstrength.wikia.com/wiki/FAQ Keep in mind that you're a novice lifter for a longer period of time than you think you are. Novice lifting can last anywhere from a few months to a year or two, depending on how hard you hit the weights and where you started. Once you've reached the point where you don't make regular progress on the SS program, you are ready to move on to the intermediate stage, which can last you for a good number of years. Find it HERE: http://madcow.hostzi.com/5x5_Program/Linear_5x5.htm If you're a very advanced lifter (many, many years of CONSISTENT weight training), then there are lot of programs out there, and which one you pick is simply a matter of preference. If you're really that advanced, you should know what works for you and what doesn't by this point. |

This is my piece:
About the size of a domino and that clip is awesome for quick adjustments. Good EQ, and with Sony buds, it sounds great.

Does anyone bike ride for cardio? I got this cheap mountain bike from Wal Mart. I can probably run faster than this thing goes but I do peddle a lot and it's more fun than jogging. I can also go further.

I do it in the warmer months. Lots of ass on the trolley track trail. You need to bike farther than you run to get the same burn though.

Ahem... So, the best cardio and most effective cardio is natural cardio, such as biking or running. That said, if your gonna machine, I recommend the old-school Life Fitness "skier/elliptical", ROM chips and all. No other machine gives you more burn for the time, and you can really dig in to one of those. In second place comes the elevated elliptical. These come in several makes and models, but the concept is the same: your riding a stand-up bike and moving through elevation changes. You just have to find the sweet spot resistance-wise. And it's always best to start a few resitance levels lower to get your legs warmed up, then gradually move in to higher settings. Always stretch before cardio. b00m.

Interesting train of thought. I'd still take 10 minutes HIIT on a airdyne stationary bike over your list, though. When it warms up outside, hill sprints trump all forms of cardio. |

For me, it's about long, enduro-burn at least when it comes time for cuts, which start tomorrow. Pumping out 4 miles on a machine is like taking a shit for me. Hell, I do 2 fast miles just to warm up before I hit the weights.

Hill sprints? I would imagine people would get burned out faster. Try a simply jog up "some" hills. Hill sprints just sounds boring, I need something that'll keep me going. I like 100 yard sprints on our local football fields. Sprint 100 yards, fast pace walk back, sprints back again , repeat.

HIIT is equal in terms of fat burning and cardio improvements, but is far more time efficient. I'd rather take less time and get the same thing accomplished.

very pure meal tonight (nothing fancy dancy) but - farm raised chicken, free of all the bullshit additives, steroids, yada yada...
Sauteed in some olive oil - I dusted it w/ Parmesan after i removed it to rest also squeezed fresh lemon over it. Then I'd had a yellow rice on the burner about to finish cooking - I roasted some asparagus in the oven with sea-salt and olive oil Then I cubed chicken (cooked) asparagus was oven roasted and already sectioned in 1/3 inch length (per stick) I then combined all and folded into completed rice. The rice isn't innocent I realize - but have afforded that into the diet by adjusting diet, elsewhere, earlier in the day. |
