  5. I read it.

    probably will use it too.
     
  6. holy crap, this is informative
     
  7. bump til sticky!
     
  8. I've told you this several times before this section of the forum was created, but this is excellent information! You wrote this out for a class some time ago, am I correct?

    It really should be stickied. Hint hint, mods.

    :D
     
  9. That is a shitload of information to follow EVERY DAY. I wish I could lay off the Mac N Cheese and all that bad junk.
     
  10. The nutrition info I kinda had written out (it was in Power Point format) so I basically cut and pasted that over but all the exercise was just me writting down my shit.

    Lots of great info, good job Rhythm! I shot up to 185 from 175 this past month or two due to injuries its time to get back to shape though injuries are somewhat fading! :hello:

    Sticky imo!
     
  12. Awesome collection of information dude. + Rep
     
  13. Just ask, folks. I can't read minds. :)

    Great info, RoL! :)
     
  14. No problem, thanks for the sticky :D



    **I swear you can read minds though.
     
  15. I think this does have some excellent info, but also some misleading info.

    Specifically, your outline of fat burning could be updated. Burning fat is NOT so much about caloric restriction or calories burnt as it is about the macronutrient profile of your diet; i.e. how many grams of carbs, protein & lipids you ingest.

    If you are trying to burn fat, you don't have to eat less, simply eat smarter. Do not eat calorically dense foods (e.g. oatmeal), and try to lower your overall carbohydrate intake.

    Unless you are in keytosis (a state in which your body burns lipids for energy), carbs will be your main source of energy. Thus, to burn your fat stores, you must burn whatever carbs you've stored first. Generally it takes about 30 - 45 minutes of steady state cardiovascular exercise before you've depleted your carbohydrate stores, and about 20 minutes of HIIT (high intensity interval training).

    Another way to burn fat effectively is to do cardiovascular exercise in a "fasted" state—a state in which your body has no available carbs to burn. The ideal time for this is in the morning, right after getting up. Unless you ate a good amount of slow burning nutrients before going to sleep (such as a casein whey protein shake, or a plate of eggs), then your body will have nothing to burn but its fat stores, having burnt much of its carb stores overnight. Another effective way to do this is intermittent fasting, but that can lead to eating disorders or a dangerously low caloric/nutrient intake without proper planning.

    In short, if you want to burn fat, do cardio when you wake up, before eating anything. Then, don't eat for an hour after you finish your cardio workout, to let your body burn the most fat possible. Also, doing cardiovascular exercise after weight training can be effective, as you will have burnt many carbs during your weight training.
     
  16. Didn't know my facts were "misleading" I mean this is information I acquired in fall of 2007 so its only a year old... but I guess updates are needed.
     
  17. I find the best way to burn fat is to do yoga for an hour or 2 every day (the longer the better). It gives you a cardio-vascular workout, and also stretches, strengthens, and tones your muscles. It's also 0 impact, which makes it perfect for those of us with injuries (like torn ligaments and bad backs, lol). :D

    Good info, though :gc_rocks: :)
     
  18. Thank's for sharing it with us it's really seems to me a very useful Posts I really try to Implement it on My self.
     
  19. You need to remember a couple things before giving this advice. First, you need energy from food in order to perform exercise. As the director of a fitness center, I have seen too many people pass out because they didn't have anything to eat before exercise. Also, you want to eat WITHIN one hour of exercise because that is when your metabolism is the highest; you will simply burn off what you eat and regain the energy that you just used up.

    I will read over some more to make edits because a lot of the info is this thread is outdated, but it's great to see people who care about their fitness as they enjoy the herb :)
