just read an article that said interval training is best for burning fat rather than just doing the same intensity workout day in, day out. At the moment i do 1 hour on a cross trainer on an empty stomach, i also play a lot of squash, so what i'm thinking of doing is splitting that 1 hour...

is it true that doing cardio fist thing in the morning, before you have eaten, will burn more fat than after you eat, also, are there any more tips you can give me that will burn fat faster, at the moment i am doing cardio first thing in the morning and also in the evening before i have my last...

i tried doing some normal lying down leg raises the other day in bed and the only muscles i could feel being used were in my legs, i tried putting my hands behind my back like i see some people do and tried different ways but could only feel my legs working, maybe i should try the leg raise...

what would you say is the best exercise for the obliques and i also want to know if those floor ab crunch machines (the ones where u pretty much just move your head and neck up and dont actually come right up to your knees) are still any good, last time i was training they were meant to be...

anyone?

i remember a few years ago reading somewhere about doing oblique crunches like this: lie on your back with your legs bent and to one side flat on the floor, put your hands behind your head and bring the opposite elbow to whichever side your legs are to meet your knee in the middle, so you are...

thanks for the info people, i will try that routine out.

so just go by feel? obviously if i am still sore then i won't do them again but if i feel normal then it should be ok? am i right by saying most people hit each muscle group 1 time per week, not including things like abs or forearms?

my main goals are fat loss and strength, i dont want to get too big because i play squash and i need to be quite lean and not carry too much weight, i started doing the weights again as a way to increase my metabolism but i do want to gain some size.

ok but do you think working chest on day 1 and triceps on day 3 is too close together? i think i will add 2 days rest and a leg day like this: MON-chest TUE-back WED-triceps and shoulders THU-biceps and traps FRI-...day off... SAT-...day off... SUN-legs and abs does that look a bit better? thanks

i would think that 90 degrees would be you standing up right as that is a 90 degree angle with the floor, i think what they're saying is that most people bend to a 45 degree angle but dorian bends slightly less using a 70 degree angle. i may be wrong but that's how i understood what was said.

i have just started training again and am going to my gym everyday for about 1.5 hours, will it make gains slower if i'm training muscles more than one per week, i dont mean i am going to hit everything twice a week, i'm thinking of doing a 4 workout cycle rather than do, say, chest on a...

thanks for the replies, so the 70 degree angle is only a slight bend instead of say a normal bend of around 50 degree, i wonder why that works better, i will give that a go next time.
