New to Board ....Good Find

[JBlaze902]

Glad I ran into the board. Been researching overall to go with daily cardio and decent diet. Diet was great for a long while and slipped a bit, but tightening it back down. I am looking forward to getting established on here learn more and go from there. I want to clean up the weight around my midsection mainly.
me - 40, 5-8, 185 (holiday weight still from lazy eating, never stopped w/o), Northern Cali, Work outs Cardio 6/7x week (elipt & tread) hour each, Light drinker on weekends. Blah blah and blah. Looking forward to the expertise and experience many on the board have.

Welcome!

Gotta tell ya though steady state cardio is a waste of time. Muscle burns fat 24x7. Steady state cardio only burns fat while doing cardio. High intensity cardio or high intensity interval cardio (ie tabatta etc) will have an EPOC effect and burn calories for many hours after your workout. You could do 15 minutes HIIT cardio and burn significantly more calories than your hour long steady state cardio.

As for diet you can make it as simple or complex as you want but a general rule of thumb is avoid stuff in a can, jar, box or bag. Shop outside edge of store for meats, fruits, veggies and dairy/eggs.

Z- thanks. I do mix in some HIT w/o's. Not all the time, but treadmill I do variations of the, track w/o: sprint 1/4 lap, jog 3/4, sprint 1/2, jog half. Sprint 3/4, jog 1/4, sprint full lap (good luck there for me), jog lap. Mix in a cool down run or like 15 elliptical. Sometimes I do 30sec to 1 minute sprint with piggybacked double time jog, repeat multiple. For straight elliptical, while not true HIT w/o's I hit 45 minutes hard with 250 steps a minute average on a laddered cross train level incline. Follow with a 15 cool down. Have another that's a mix of the two but standard not HIT, 1.5-2mile run, 15-30 elliptical interchange the start of either (haven't done this one for a bit) I start both workouts with about 10-15 in the sauna to loosen up / cool down. I don't do much weights anymore. I have some older ankle/shoulder issues from judo and wrestling back in the day. I think I get a decent metab. Burn carry from my w/o's but am open to whatever input whoever provides. No sups currently but have enjoyed winny(inj) in the past and also had good (loved it) experience with clen/t3 combo(oral both) before. Not looking for magic solution more like a shadow to be with me, I am def down for putting in the hard work. Sorry for the book.
