Run sprints. Workout's over faster and it will burn fat for a longer period of time.

i only ran 3 today. I usually keep it between 3-6. Don't think my cortisol will be spiked from that. I like the effects of mid range cardio, I like having a resting heart rate between 52-64.

Yoga tonight. Sprints tomorrow afternoon, abs & legs tomorrow night.

I was going to run a few miles after work but then I came home and didn't.

Maybe tomorrow.

Running sprints are better for you.

Jogging is for skinny fat people.

The "skinny fat" people will outlive the "ripped but no sustained cardio" people.

What about ripped and sustained cardio?

Boom.

Sounds great, and I have nothing against burning fat, but any implication that there is a cardio replacement for a sustained elevation in heart rate is factually inaccurate, unless one's goal is to leave a great looking corpse.

I am finally starting to get some semblance of decent form on my cleans. These damn things have taken me forever to get right. :RpS_mellow:

Says you. Quite a few recent studies have shown that sustained cardio isn't quite what you're cracking it up to be for the body.

And sprints aren't taxing on the heart? Helluva lot more effort is going into upping the heart rate with a sprint than a slow (yawn) jog.

Need to do a little more research. Times have changed SIGNIFICANTLY with your mode of thinking but keep on beating your body to death with those long, boring runs.

Who said anything about long runs? 30 good minutes are plenty. The one thing new studies often do is end up confirming that the old ones were right all along. There are a number of studies you conveniently omit that are doing exactly that.

To each their own but don't try to push this nonsense off as some kind of "healthy lifestyle" because it's not.

Well, you're not doing it for a long, drawn out period of time. You know, MORE is better? Duh....brief, intense workouts are worthless. Were you just born yesterday? ;)

To each their own indeed, but don't try to push off the notion that you are more qualified than I to determine what constitutes an exercise program for good health, because you are not.

Ummm, yeah....you don't know that much about me to know whether I am or am not qualified.
