lol cardio is bad on the joints

i cycle a bit

oh i can survive a airsoft day just about..just dont expect much of me for a good three days after

Do a bit of HIT when cycling mate, swimming too is good. Take cod liver oil in the morning for your joints. If you're looking to burn fat weights training is the way to go.

haha yeah weights is what i'm thinking of..keep thinking join a gym..but the overblown ego's and fake tans really put me off the idea

Unless you go to a gym which is full of under 18s, no one is like that in other gyms. And no, you can't do weights for mainly burning off fat. You cannot substitute weights for cardio exercises. You wanna lose fat? You run. No exceptions. For example, if you have a fat gut, weights won't solve the problem. Yes it'll make the gut look slightly more toned but nonetheless, it's still a fat gut. If you do running AND weight training, you'll have a six pack.

Substitute cardio exercises for weight*

You can get good deals on the multi gyms and weights on gumtree mate, sometimes they're even giving them away. I avoid the gym for the same reason, my locals full of washed up ex bouncers on steroids coming up to 60 lol.

lol whys it gotta be running damnit XD anything but that

lol Frizzle its either L.a fitness or Iron works..one has roided up chavs the other has fake tanned snobs its a lose lose situation

........ oh... either... you go further away, or buy yer own equipment...........

Eitherway, you have to do running!

Frizzle, Go to you're local gym, clock all the fatties doing cardio, then look at those doing weights. I'm not saying HIT cardio doesn't have its place, but for the majority of your excercise weights will see you better. People just lean towards cardio because its easier. I'm not calling you out or starting a row but read the 12 weeks royal marine fitness plan in mens health and it explains my point. When you build muscle, you increase your bodys capacity for burning fat, as l...

really the exaggeration of dots..noob

meh running it is then & will buy my own sh*t then

*as long as you have a sensible diet. word limit ran out lol

I also said that simply the belief that cardio is best for weightloss is a myth. By all means you should combine the two but at most 2-3 HIT 20 minutes running sessions per week and the rest should be high intensity weight training

No war of words btw

(i'll get my own multi-gym got room for one in corner of my room) and will start jogging round the reservoir i live next to

for starters

as for diet i eat alot of chicken with some mixed salad and new potato's twice a week (also cut down on bread intake)

haha all this cause well apart from wanting to get fitter for airsoft i promised my self a tattoo if i managed to lose a stone or two

Aye plenty of chicken, turkey and salmon will do you good mate. The "mens fitness : Military fitness special forces training program" is a good book to pick up out of WHS smith. The names a bit of a daft marketing ploy targeted at people with no idea about the military, but its basically a 12 week plan by an ex Royal who teaches you how to get as fit as a Royal in 12 weeks, mainly weights and resistance training with some cardio. includes diet plans, techniques for every excercise and...

and why each things good for you etc, its worth the money. It doesn't require any equipment apart from a suspension trainer and a backpack with weights in it and can all be done outside

haha thanks will see if the local whs has it tomorrow

RUN FOREST, RUN!!

btw, forests are a great place to start running in. building up your stamina without it being embarrassing in front of a lot of people
