Thread: Lets share our weight loss tips & knowledge here!

[IMG][IMG][/IMG][/IMG]THIS 20 MINUTE WORK OUT IS GREAT! Personally I use a treadmill but you can do it with anything as the below info explains.
We use this program - cardio and weights - and love it. You will sweat more in 20minutes using this technique than you would in double that time on a steady pace. It is based on your OWN fitness levels and it really buggers you! Intensity Levels are your personal scale of fitness from 1-10. 5 being mid range (just walking normally) 6 a little faster 7 a little faster 8 to me is a bit of a trott/skip sort of thing 9 is running and 10 is running so fast that i can hardly continue.

BEST OF ALL YOURE DONE IN 20 MINUTES!

Official Body-for-LIFE Cardio-Training Plan
Cardio workouts are indispensable to an effective training program and general good health. By definition, cardio workouts can be any exercise—jogging, running, biking, swimming, elliptical machine, stairs, even jumping rope—that raises and maintains your heart rate over a predetermined amount of time. By doing so, you strengthen your heart and lungs and lower your resting heart rate, which means that over time the same effort that produced a 10-minute mile will produce a 9-minute mile. Cardio workouts burn fat. And cardio fitness is what gives you endurance and the ability to persist in sports and in life.

The Benefits of Cardio
•Increases metabolic rate
•Increases growth hormone secretion
•Reduces stress levels
•Increases blood flow to the brain increasing alertness
•Improve cholesterol levels
