If you are talking about cutting back calories by a lot

Side effects are low energy drive, grouchy and LOWER TESTERONE production.

The topic is how to loose body fat.
That means the fat that is already in your body.
How did the fat get there in the first place?
Through you mouth.

Fat have a useful purpose in our bodies. It acts as an insulation against cold, a cushion against hard knocks, and as an energy reserve.

Fat is not good only when it is in excess and puts a strain on the body's heart, lung machine, and its arteries, and skeletal structure.

There is a direct co-relation betwen eating and and fat build up for most of us.
Although there are in rare cases a person becomes obese because of genetic disposition.

Then can i ask if swimming will help? Since i have very heavy masses, 190 pounds. And im 180cm. Jogging will only hurt my knees?

Interval training as in?

This will be of a great help to me, thanks so much.

For me, all the males in my family, after my grandpa, have a tummy. And although I exercised a lot during army, I still cannot cut down to a six-pack. My dad is also one that runs a lot, and can easily get gold for IPPT when he was around age 40+. However, i have always seen him with a tummy. Genetic? It's hard to say sometimes.

Not to mention the possibility of the yo-yo effect, and if done long term, the possibility of early onset of osteoporosis.

Burpees and inclined pullup intervals are what i do

10 mins of interval training is guranteed to make your heart pound faster than 30 mins of jogging.

This one I can confirm. Hehe

Normal swimming doesn't help as much. Very very intensive swimming (warm up 20 laps before training that kind) will help, but its also not significant as compare to training out of the pool. Read an article saying its suppose to be due to the body losing heat in the water. And, if a person's already obese, how can he/she have the ability to go through such intensive swimming.

Our national swimmers do a lot of out-of water training in the gym too.

jogging will hurt knees, spine, and morale, when a cute babe overtakes you. keke

I try my best to swim at least 12 laps without stopping . Does it help? I dont mind my shoulders being broader. Do you have more tips on how to lose weight? Thanks a thousand, im writing this down.

swimming is not optimal for fat loss.

used to just do steady state training on the arc trainer on level 10 and 100 resistance for 45mins.. and just had my first HIIT session yesterday... my legs are burining, but I will keep it up and see how I go in terms of loosing fat... thanks for posting... Very Happy

jogging will hurt your knees, but running wont. jogging impacts knees, which is bad, running impacts leg muscles, which is good.

or you can try the bodyweight intervals that Simon Dean suggested, this really trains your cardio, plus 10 min of this is over nice an quick, a 30+ min jog will get boring

JoBonez SG

thanks for the info guys, keep it coming! Very Happy

perhaps the information should be compiled into one or two posts later on and posted as a sticky? just so people who may not frequent this forum will see it?

Simon Dean SG

I frankly doubt many will listen either..like 90% at least.

Care to elaborate? Confused
