BFL routine too weak?

[BatZgirl]

Just to mention

Have you even tried the BFL cardio session??? Its not as easy as it sounds, I mean I used to spend at least 1-2 hours in the gym doing cardio at a low intensity, and it did bugger all for me, but Bill Phillip's 20 minute cardio session may seem like a fun run but belive you me it aint. If you follow it correctly, follow the levels correctly I promise you once youre in your 10th minute the sweat will be pouring down your face and when you step off you;ll feel the differernce that youve actualy done something.

Remember if youve just 'read the book' and not acctully done the workouts you may never say they are 'weak'

Good luck with your BFL

RE:

20 minutes of cardio 3 times per week dropped a lot of fat? Cool. I've heard that 20 minute sessions aren't long enough.

Ok, you try the 20 min session and compare it to your normal session, you'll definately feel the difference!!!

As Bill Phillips said in his book : "Despite what so many millions of peoplw have been told, low intensity long duration aerobic exercise is not the best method for ridding the body of excess fat"

He also mentions that people think that if they train for longer at low inteseties, they will burn more fat, whats the point in the end to spend all day at the gym? Instead he has developed a 20 min

they train, the better they will become, ive looked in my book for the exact jphrase but cant seem to find it. He says that what's the point of it all, stayting BITCH of a workout (belive me ive done it) in just 20min at high intensity

Im looking for his exact words in my book but cant seem to find them right now, when I do ill post them in here

RE:

Personally I think the training advocated by BFL is too weak. How the hell can you blast your entire upper body in one session? I am fried after one body part.

HOW You ask... Here are some pics of Bill Phillips, who obviously followed his own program, you decide if he's physic is not just delicious

BTW
Get yourself a copy of the BFL book, Bill Phillips expalins everything about How and Why of most questions you ask, (Like the one you just did)

Ok here's the quote from the book:
"... many fitness experts recommend that as soon as you can exercise for 30min "comfotrably" you should increase to 40min, then 60, then 90, "more is better" they proclaim. My question to them is WHY, what's the objective, to eventualy work out all day? Gee that sound swell but I was kind of hoping to get in shape and still have a life ."

Think about it, he's actuly right

Batz, I haven't tried the book's routine, but have been doing cardio & the different intensity levels for about 6-8 wks, so I know what he is talking about on just the aerobics. I concur that you sweat like a nut (more than doing my lifting). I do cardio on the bike at level 7 (out of 10, I think) usually, but sometimes can only hack 5-7 .... for 20 minutes. So, I know that it is not a stroll aerobics or just cruising on the bike like I see people do all the time in my gym .

I am just brainstorming right now, while I read the book (just got it a wk ago )

You were right.... The workout is more intence than it seemed in writting I printed the "daily progress report" off excel and set up for lower body workout today. I feel in each muscle group I worked out more than I had in the last 5-7 wks (when I started lifting). Followed it down to the "2 sec down, 1 sec up, hold top/bottom 1 sec, etc...... Even when I did the abs I thought it was pretty good.

I had to take the spreadsheet, b/c I wouldn't have remembered what and how much to do otherwise, but what pain carrying paper and pen around the gym! Maybe in my pda

Thanks Batz. I don't think I am "officially" starting it yet. I had to start today on the "3rd day" of the challenge so it would fall more or less in the schedule I had worked out yesterday and Sun ( I worked upper yeterday so didn't want to do it again. And even though I got all those yummie recipes from you , I still have to play around with the diet b/c I can't eat veggies . So will have to somehow sub them with fiber or vitamins or who knows. So, even though I got all these great ideas for the food, I am stuck b/c of the veggie issue (trust me, I hate them, I would puke them if I tried eating them

But in the meantime, like I said, i am going to be doing the workout . Hopefully I can round out the diet some other way and get it into my schedule (already eating 5-6 meals/day, so... I am on track )
