I just have a few questions about my cardio;

Will classes such as cario kick, spinning etc be enough to burn my body fat?

Is training in the morning (before breakfast) best time to burn fat?

I thought that it was bad as your glycogen stores will be low, so the body will resort to using protein as an energy substrate in the form of lean muscle tissue, but then again, ive read that is the optimum time to do so?

Btw, is cottage cheese good for cutting

thanks

There is a slight advantage to training within 30 minutes of rising if the goal is fat loss.   Will you burn some amino acids for energy, yes.  So take BCAAs or have whey right when you rise to spare muscle.

They will increase your calories out...and if you want to do that for cardio while in fat loss..why not...post exercise or 45 minutes.

Dairy is not optimal for a cut or fat loss goal.  Fat free if you do...

Just wondering if it is ok to swap the potatos for pasta and the tuna for prawns?

Also, what forms of cardio can i do outside of the gym.

I find running difficult as i always seem to get stomach cramps.  Ive started doing 1 minute burst of punches on a bag then one minute rest for 10-15mins and then the same with a skipping rope but vary the skipping in each interval.

Im going to get my body fat % done tomorrow and see if i need to reduce the calories again.  I weighed myself and im roughly 94kg but dont know if that is from fat or muscle but my body measurement have increased (such as size).

thanks

James

For fat loss...sweet potato is even better and Pasta is really not good.

Intense interval training (like the bursts of intervals with the bag and jumping rope etc) is verry effective.  Or moderate bouts lasting 45 minutets - 60 minutes.

Just wondering if you could give me a rough cardio workout that doesn't involve using cv kit as i find them boring!!  Ill do skipping, punches on the bag, exercises classes, bike rides, running (not too keen but will do if need to) and anything else. How long should i do cardio for as well.  Was thinking of 30mins during my lunch hour when im working a long day and 30mins after my weights.

thanks

Remember that thinking about designing training for fat loss is a bit different than training for muscle gains!

Anything that involves continuous movement in large muscle groups and elevates the heart rate Smile
Whatever you enjoy the most.

Hi

Just had my body fat done and the results are below;

Weight = 92.9Kg
Fat% = 15.2%
Fat Mass = 14.1Kg
Lean Body Mass = 78.8Kg

Just wondering if theres any changes i need to do.  Ive been doing cardio for 3-4 days now at 70-85% MaxHR for 20mins just before my lunch on my break.  Ive taken a week out with weights but will be starting again on saturday.  Ive also swapped pasta for sweet potato and moved the peppers to another meal as i couldn't eat them in the morning.

thanks

James

12/4/06 - 12.4% bodyfat
            24.9 BMI
            86.3kg total weight
            10.7% fat mass
            75.6kg lean body mass

6/7/06 - 15.2% bodyfat
            26.8 BMI
            94.52kg total weight (14 stone 12.4lbs, not sure if the kg is correct)
            15.2% fat mass
            80.2kg lean body mass (12 stone 8.8lbs, not sure if the kg is correct)

8/9/2006 - Weight = 92.9Kg
            Fat% = 15.2% 
            Fat Mass = 14.1Kg 
            Lean Body Mass = 78.8Kg

Result from 60 days:
Fat Mass -1.1 kg
Lean Mass -1.4 kg

Keep in mind that a week offf weights prpbably cost that 1.4 kg in lean mass drop.  Once you start training again that will likely come back putting you at around 14.8% BF +-

What is your goal now, still fat loss?
Looks like the calories are too low...but after a week with weights again check your measurements..you do take measurements? 
Neck, upper arm, fore arm, chest, waist, hips, leg, calf

Ive only been doing fat loss for 3-5 days but didn't take my bodyfat before i started.  My goal is only to cut for a month then go back to bulking after this month.  I take measurements every saturday.  I think im going to see if the weights have any effect and then get my bf% done again.  Will i need more calories if my lean muslce tissue is dropping too much?

thanks

James

If you are losing lean muscle then either your diet (or other factors such as sleep, stress, etc) is preventing fat from being liberated, or your total calories are too low.  Try to keep ADDING muscle as you lose fat.

If you are going one more week then thats fine.

Did you look at this?
http://www.discussbodybuilding.com/Progressing_your_cardio_for_ongoing_results/m_167907/tm.htm

Anyway..be sure to train as if you wanted to GAIN muscle with the lifting.  You should gain some of that lean mass back.
