If your goal is to lose fat, then cardio is an excellent way to boost your metabolism beyond what weight training already does. A lot of people don't like cardio because it will hinder their muscle gains. I try to do a little cardio year round if possible. I have just recently taken up playing basketball a few days per week. I'm cutting right now, so sometimes I end up playing for 2-3 hours. When I start bulking again I am going to have to stop myself short of those ridiculously long games.Yoinks said:I am looking to cut as much body fat as possible, but at the same time retain mass. I'm at about 18% right now, 145 lbs. 5'6"... I might do a good amount of laps in the pool, going to shoot for 6% body fat... not sure how long it would take me but I'm guessing a while, and I think cardio will play a good role in helping me reach that goal.
Are you sure?Minotaur said:I'm one that HAS to do cardio to lose fat. No amount of lifting and dieting will help me get the fat off.
Just wanted to congratulate you on further gains. Not too long ago I seem to recall you being around 250. You're getting pretty damned big there man!Mudge said:I weigh around 260 (on a small cut from 268).
agreeFit Freak said:That's not true...weight training alone is not enough cardio to give you all the benefits...I don't care how much or how hard you train cardio has it's place. Teh key is NOT to overdo it....too intense or too long and you'll be left in state of catabalism.
