Just say YES.....to Cardio!

[Dantes]

I find that I don't need as much sleep when I do regular cardio, and that I have much more energy. If your a hard gainer, what is 20 minutes of cardio a day going to burn? Not that much.

I can do 1/2 more reps on a heavy weight during months I have been doing cardio, as it takes longer for me to get out of breath. Also, rests between sets are shorter as my breath returns to normal sooner.

centaur im not sure one half rep is worth all that runnin (lol i know what you mean)

does ALA work if you take it only in the morning with eca before cardio? I see most are taking it many times a day, but it´s really expencive here so I was wondering if it would help to take it in the am only? (sorry about the sp.)

So hardgainer or not, I don't think your risking muscle loss at 20 min 3x a week.

Im not saying that a hard gainer is risking muscle loss by doing cardio, im saying that cardio is burning well needed calories for muscle gain.

I still think one will benefit (hardgainer or not) with at the very
least 20 min, 3x a week. ESPECIALLY while on!!

I have not done cardio in months.

Its a personal choice. You can burn calories by doing cardio or you can eat less. Both can create a caloric deficit.

I am actually getting pretty lean(5-6%) by just eating a clean diet and working out hardcore an hour+ 5 times a week.

Oh yeah...Fina helps too..

You peopoe do realize that although high intensity cardio does burn calories it does nto directly burn fat. To burn fat a low to moderate intensity cardio workout for 20 plus minutes is what you need.

IronKop....high intensity cardio does burn a lower percentage of fat, but like you said it does burn more calories...so when you look at the percentage of fat...it seems as if not much was burned, but when look at it from the perspective in terms of how much fat all together was burned.....you burn slightly more fat from high intensity cardio....part of this is because of an increase in E.P.O.C. (excessive post exercise oxygen consumption)....I remember cuz I took ex.phys. last semester

Peace!
