I’m with you regarding the cardio.. I spend 90 minutes on the elliptical and treadmill, and I dread the weight circuit. I started doing kettlebell swings and it’s better than the weight circuit. I am seeing some benefit, but in one of the weight loss plateaus that is very frustrating. Also it is very hard for me to believe that doing less cardio will somehow be more beneicial, but have read it from many people, so maybe I will try.

I love running, and dislike waits. We live two different lives! But we both want to be fit.

My best friend talked me into weight lifting. He punished me but I was determined because he said I’d definitely lose weight. I’m so glad I listened to him! Since Easter I’ve dropped 7 lbs. Dieting and cardio were not enough for me, as it turns out. I have a long way to go but I’m just so happy to have found something that works for me good luck to all!!!

I have to admit, one plus for cardio and HIIT is that it’s easier to find ways to enjoy it. You can enjoy the outdoors, while burning the calories (trail running, cycling, rowing, etc…)

When I do intervals for cycling(indoors due to Minnesota winter) I just imagine how much faster ill be in the spring and that inspires me to kick my butt into better and better shape. (What’re some interval suggestions btw, I currently do 8 45 second sets with 3 minute rest periods)

I am in a big weight loss challenge. I need to lose weight as fast as possible. What regime would you suggest? I really enjoyed this article. How often should I be doing weights and can I do them on the same days as intervals,cardio or alone. I did an half ironman last June. The intense long hours of training totally burnt me out…I don’t want to do that anymore. I don’t have as much time as I used to to train those long hours. My goal right now is to use my exercise as effectiently as possible for the greatest weight loss. What do you think of Beachbody’s Insanity and P90X?
Love to hear your advise.

I know we are talking about calories here, but the benefits of strength training are HUGE! One of the benefits is prevention of injury…you know injury from all that pounding on the treadmill! All the cardio only junkies out there are missing a huge component to fitness. The comments, “just do what you like to do” is so short sighted. We can’t have this attitude with eating…
Be smart and DO WHAT IS BEST for your body…that should be enough to “like it.”
