I play indoor football twice a week. Is that enough?

It depends on your eating habits. If you're a calorie crusher then you probably want to work out intensely 3-4 days a week or more. If you have a normal balanced diet and don't exceed your required daily intake, then it should be good.

Well, you probably want to mix in some low rate cardio in at first. Depending on your fitness level of course. If you're in relatively good shape you can jump right into interval training.

I don't think there's much truth in that (and I'm pointing out jump rope). HIIT will always be tough and you can't do slow rate to gain better condition, I don't think it can be easier.

As for running, yeah, true.

Well the reason my aim is 'only' to keep a flat stomy is because I'm not willing to put in the gym work right now

Considering your goals I'd say yeah. If you add a proper diet you should be fine

Cool. I guess I need to adjust my diet a little.

Thanks for the advice, guys.

Well, I don't really consider jump rope to be proper HITT, by itself. It's great as a supplement to some sort of high intensity circuit. But that's beside the point.

HITT is always going to be difficult, which is why you want your body to be in some kind of shape. I always try to advise people (especially when I'm unsure of their fitness level) to take it easy at first.

I only do 2 HITT work outs a week. Yesterday I did hills and tomorrow I'd probably run half mile circuits.

I think my favorite is rowing, if you can find a machine. It's the complete workout.

Okay, I have the water part down.

Get an elliptical machine then you can get on it while watching juve matches. win-win

Nice. You like the results, what's your current 'shape'?

I weigh 82kgs now, i'm about 4kgs overweight. I can see some abs when i flex my abdominal muscles so i'm getting there. I'm not totally happy with the results but with enough cardio, i'll get there.

I don't know why you say that, because jump rope burns more calories than HIIT running. It's the most effective HIIT actually.

So my friend has been trying to get me to buy kangoo jumps for ages now. Has anyone used them?

I don't doubt it as a work out. I just find it extremely boring.

I heard it has very little impact on the joints, that's why i'm kinda interested.

I'm aware of the concept, but I just couldn't do THAT.

I'm also vehemently against anything that takes away the pain of working out.

How tall are you B?

I know it looks girly but i'm not exactly in my early 20's.

5.8, i'm the shortest amongst my friends.

Me either. But when I try that stuff I just feel goofy.

There's a few meatheads that use them at the gym & they jump rope with that stuff. Looks totally messed up but they swear by it.

I go 5 times a week from 7 am to 9 am 30-45 min of weight training and 20-35 min of cardio. Neurocore first thing when I awake and Dark Matter as soon as im done with the weight training. I'm 5'10 210 lbs 12% body fat all at 35 years of age

 

[Dostoevsky]

I personally think that's too much cardio. IMO 15 mins should be tops

I dont do the cardio every day only four of the 5 days. on the days I do 30 min its usually broken up into 15 min of high cardio and then 15 of slow paced fat burn

 

[Dostoevsky]

This was me 2 months ago, some cutting and nutrition phase. Then I stopped, gonna continue in January or so.

6 pack for the next summer, and somewhere at 7% BF is the goal. But adding muscle, I don't wanna be skinny fucker when I lose that fat
