Reply With QuoteWhen I do cardio....I target 15 mins on Elliptical glyder: 150-200 calories. Then go to the bike for another 15 mins: 130 calories....then over to the treadmill for 20 min: 210 calories.
I do this twice a day. There are days I just jog at home in the evenings. For the majority, this is my morning program and to get ready for competition.
Now, when I'm not getting ready for a comp....I would do light jogging or speed walk at incline for about 30 min 2-3 days per week and watch my calorie intake.
Do you aim for a certain number of calories to burn during your cardio?

I've been doing cardio 3-4 times per week and have been shooting for 300 cals burnt each session. Do any of you target a certain number? Is it higher or lower? What is your program like to do it?

Wow... so you are doing about 500 cals in a matter of 50 minutes. That's pretty good, though it makes me look like a wuss!

Nah...Don't think of it that way. Think, endurance. How long have you been training in cardio? Are you preparing for a competition because I saw a post of yours regarding how to get cut.

Are ya calling me fat now?
I'm just kidding. That is the truth....it takes a little while to build things up. I'll start doing 500 cals soon though! I can't let you show me up!
Though you are setting good standards for women out there. I love the fit ones!
