BFL routine too weak?

[yosshimura]

Did you keep him on the schedule of only weights 3x wk? That seems so little (but what do I know ?) I feel like altering it (the BFL routine - I am on day 8, btw) and doing it 6 days, and keep everything else the same; doing cardio the days BFL dictates. I just feel very guilty wasting what could be a good day's workout by just doing the 20 aerobics (yes, I have been doing them and know how intense they are, but..... ).

You mentioned you wanted him to have more volume... as in altering BFL a little bit? The way I am doing it now is on an empty stomache (as directed by BFL) in the morning, so I know I am not going to be gaining much muscle, but if I can alter it to get just a little more volume, I would be happy....


Batz...how did you do it / or are doing it?

Anybody?

but why the hell would you only run intensly for 20 minutes? shit, during cross country season we would run intensly for 45 minutes pretty regularly! and it did WONDERS for burning off fat.
Why workout intensly for only 20 if you can go intense for longer? just pace your intensity with the length of the workout and you'll be fine!

If you've got the energy in you to run 45 minutes at "high intensity" then you must not have been doing the first 20 minutes at a high enough intensity. By the time I finish a short duration HIIT workout I am completely spent. You must be sacrificing some intensity in order to go longer.

yes, but I still think that minor sacrifice is worth it, in the long run when it comes to burning fat. I mean we're still talking max effort over that time (so when u finish u are spent), but the speed will have to be lowered to accomodate the longer time span.

some people need more cardio than the 20 minutes, 3 days a week shit. and you wont see these people on the cover of the Body For Life book either.

Ok, then why don't you tell us how you would modiffcy his workout? Read my last post or one before last, I thought the same thing, not enough of a workout in general (cardio and lifting), and that is coming from a relatively new newbie to the sport. How would you beef it up, staying within more/or less his schedule and guidelines?
