I will start by saying that im 6'2 and 203 pounds. I have started training quite hard (At least by my standard) and am struggling with what to eat at what times. Ill stick on my routine and if anyone could help that would be great. Bearing in mind that i am after weight loss at this point. Monday AM - Weight circuit Monday PM - Cardio + bag work Tuesday AM - Run (around 5k) Tuesday PM - Nothing Wednesday AM - Weight Circuit Wednesday PM - Cardio - Bag work Thursday AM - Nothing Thursday PM - Thai Boxing Friday AM - Swim (around 1k) Friday PM - Bag work Saturday - Nothing Sunday - 10k run I lost half a stone last week and that seemed quite a lot so i was wondering what i should eat to have a more sustained weight loss and feel stronger doing it. Thanks
If u want 2 lose weight dont do a lot of weights they build up muscles and will therefore put on weight but if u stick 2 ur plan youll definetly lose weight.
cardio work helps you lose weight ignore all that training zone stuff just get out and do cardio running is the best for weight loss but you have to still eat proper just eat healthily btw weights do bulk you up but im guessing you are dowing low weights high reps as they tone muscles instead of build muscles
about stuff to eat eat what you normally do but have 5 meals aday but smaller than normal and eating healthy is all common sense
Ive been told that doing weight training will help weight loss because the more muscle mass you have the quicker your fat will metabolise. Im goin to give it a try because I did nothing but running for 3 months, and lost 30 pounds. But now Ive been stuck at 210 pounds for like 6 weeks even though Ive increased the intensity of the runs.
He's full of crap. My doctor told me that if I wanted to build strength that I should high reps with lighter weight atsch
I would throw some sprints in there. That'll burn the fat without sacrificing the muscle. If you're going down in weight, it make more sense to lift HEAVIER to avoid strength losses. The only way you're going to bulk up is by eating more than you are now. You don't go do some bench presses and magically gain weight each time or there wouldn't be any light powerlifting classes. Stick to basic compound weights. The more muscles that are hit, the better; regardless if you're trying to lose or gain weight.
Cheers for the responses, I was also told that high reps lower weight would help me lose weight, is this not the case?
I hate it when people say that crap. Like the common phrase of turning fat into muscle.. Like Jesus turned water into wine...
