cardio in 5 mins?

Xzion · Post by **Xzion** » April 23, 2005, 1:59 am

personally i hate cardio excersize and have been looking for non time consuming yet meaningful cardio excersize...lately ive been trying "burst" push ups where you lift off with your feet and hands and do somewhat of a jump after each pushup, doing a good 50 of these in a row or whatever your built for will give you a decent cardio workout...without having to run for say a 30 min equiv..anyone else have any ideas for non time consuming yet effective cardio?

Hmm, Cardio workouts mean keeping your heart rate at a certain elevated point, for a given amount of time. By definition, that means there are no "quick" cardio excercises that are meaningful. Far as I know...

well grappling ina sense is also "quick" cardio excersize, as 30 mins of that...maybe 7 mins in 3 matches gives you a hell of a cardio workout...i bring up thisthread because i get bored running or doing something of the sort for 30 mins streight, so im looking for the same results in something that takes 5 mins

Grappling is NOT an aerobic exercise.

You will NOT increase your aerobic threshhold in 5 minutes of anything.

You are stupid.

Did you eat paintchips as a child?

You are painfully retarded.

I'd just like to say that as an individual who does daily aerobic exercise, your total lack of knowledge made my blood boil.

...
I am at a total loss of words.
Xzion, ... I just can't even comment.
I am speechless for one of the few times in my life.
Congrats...

Cardio requires time. it is as much a law of anatomy as gravity is a law of physics.

at my peak i was running a 10minute 2mile in Airborne school. At the time i ran about 8 miles a day on average. i spent about an hour a day on cardio whether it was jump rope, running, or whatever. i ate lots of carbs and spent a lot of time staying in shape.

then i went to afghanistan and quit working out. my last run i dropped to a 15:30 2mile. being in shape requires time. if you are too lazy to stay in shape then don't bother with quick "schemes" b/c it's not worth even the little effort you are putting in.

Yeah the minimum for aerobic excercise to have any impact is 20 mins as I recall...

45 mins morningwalk is enough! Add Coffee (caffeine-pills) or for the lazies, wash yerself with a caffeine-soap afterwards!

Add some Ripped Fuel for quicker results!

Fat Burned and Shredded!

Well, everyone have different metabolism!

Since you do BJJ, eat well and train 3-4 times a week , that works well for you.

Some people, ectomorphs and mesomorphs don't have to do as much cardio as endomorphs who easily gain fat etc.

Some burn fat very easily (and quickly) while others have to struggle and do cardio OMGIAMRETARDEDCAUSEALOTISTWOWORDS.

I'd say keep up what yer doing X!

When you add mass though, you get fat as well, and after you have gained desired mass, you usually do OMGIAMRETARDEDCAUSEALOTISTWOWORDS of cardio as well as change diet to burn the undesired fat.

I have gained almost 30 pounds of mass over the past year, so i am in process of burning off undesired fat right now, my gut is getitng a little too prominent for me, so aiming to shed at leats 10 pounds through cardio and diet.

Anyone have ny good recommendations for that? So far i am going to be doing 2 x ½ an hour and 1 x 1 hour in a crosstrainer a week, while lifting 4 times a week, and then try to control my calorie intake as much as possible.

Go down to the park and play basketball.

TEGS!

Fastande mage optimerar fettförbränningen.

"fasting longer than 6 h optimizes fat oxidation."

Thats why morning walks are better than doing the walk in the evening.

If you do evening walks, the energy is taken more from the carbohydrates (active energy) than the bodyfat (stored energy)

If you want to burn fat even quicker, add Ripped Fuel (if its legal in Sweden it should be legal in Denmark LOLZ)!

Good luck!

Change the diet of course

200g proteinas usual but less carbs!

aye, ive put on a couple of pounds and was looking for a non time consuming way to get the 6-pack ready for the cruise, running gets too damn boring and im fucking horrible at basketball, might just increase the push ups and do some kayaking

I personally find that rowing in a rowing machine (not sure what it's called in english) is less boring than running. Might wanna try that out?

Thanks for that advice Kwon, i am just so bloody bad at getting up early, but might be an idea to hit the gym before breakfast on my days off.

Boogahz · Post by **Boogahz** » May 8, 2005, 9:13 pm

Hmm, 5 minutes....

In school we had what our basketball coach called a "Marine Drill" which you had to finish in 5 minutes or less depending on his mood.

Run horse drill (near foul line, half court, far foul line, far base line and back) then do 25 situps. Do the horse drill again, and do 25 jumping jacks, do the horse drill again and do 25 pushups. It sounds easy enough, but get one jackass taking his time means the clock loses 30 seconds and you start over. If everyone wasn't finished in the time limit, you start over.

There is also spinning, indoor exercise-bikes and other cardio-machines (beside running)

During diet, eat healthy fats, fish oil or flaxseed oil for example.

Or Avocado, nuts, seeds, fat fish (salmon) and healthy oils such as olive.

Eat multiple times a day(each time you eat, your metabolic rate rises as your body processes the food), the more meals you eat daily, the higher your total metabolic rate.

Strive for 5-6 meals a day with 2-3 hours apart.

Consume fewer calories per meal than you need for maintenance to encourage your body to tap into bodyfat stores for energy.

Rely on slow-burning carbs at most times of day, instead of sugar use complex carbs like brown rice, yams, oatmeal, pasta and whole-grain breads.

Take in plenty of lean proteine, eggwhites, turkey,chickenbreast, whitefish.

Drink plenty of water, eat fiber, increase fruit and veggie consumption.
