question for anyone following: is playing full ct basketball a hinderance in terms of keeping your metabolism up?

katt · 09-08-2007, 05:51 PM

Why would it be a hindrance? You're running your ass off in full court aren't you?

yeah, but I usually play for 2 hours or so. I figured any cardio lasting more than 30 minutes kills your metabolism? Maybe i'm off my rocker, but I love playing pick up basketball.

Two more days before my first update picture. Feeling really good, have tons of energy, and not one sugary, cheat meal. I am a little concerned with my calcium intake though. I do not have any skim milk in my diet. Is a lack of calcium a hinderance on my diet?

sensamilia · 09-09-2007, 03:01 PM

go do some research on dairy calcium and fat loss. What ive read is that dairy calcium helps in fat loss.

Are you taking multi-vitamins? If so, calcium shouldn't be a problem.

No form of cardio will slow your metabolism down, but 2 hours of basketball isn't exactly assisting hyperthrophy. If possible, try sipping on a shake during the 2 hours.

I am taking what is called "First Step: for energy" distributed by High Performance Fitness. It has 71 vitamins and minerals, and I basically take a 1 OZ shot a day (it's a liquid). I've noticed i've had more energy throughout the day so it seems to be doing the job, but it only has 60 mg of calcium, which amounts to 8% of a 2000 calorie diet? is that enough?

Plan sounds good. Can't really fail if you keep going. There's not many here that can handle HIIT.

katt · 09-11-2007, 08:44 PM

I know I can't handle it ....

at the present time.

jhawkin1 · 09-11-2007, 09:05 PM

Did another round of HIIT tonight: 3 minute jog, 30 second sprint/30 second jog for 17 minutes. Here are my updated pics! Starting to cut a little....still early though.

jhawkin1 · 09-11-2007, 09:08 PM

Here they are...let me know what ya'll think. This is a week in to it.

jhawkin1 · 09-11-2007, 09:10 PM

Yes, my 'before' pics are up on the first page. I am going to jump my cardio to every day HIIT training. Same length of time.

It's Sunday night, a long day of playing pick up basketball (3 hours worth!). I have recently changed the idea of my diet. I make sure to eat more solids in terms of protein including tons of chicken and egg whites. I ONLY have a protein shake after a serious workout or when I get up first thing in the morning I'll do one scoop of whey with water, but that's it for liquids besides water of course! The more solid, lean proteins I consume the more body fat I will lose with the help of my cardio sessions and weight training 3-4 days a week. I'm doing it big time. Updated pics coming on Tuesday night!

jhawkin1 · 09-18-2007, 09:44 PM

Here are my updated pics of week three
