Recomp kunce

Cardio = anything that raises your resting heart rate.

 

[Goosey]

Well, how much cardio do you need?
why not just do 2 hours a day, you'll lose fat in no time, fuck, do three!

 

[Repacked]

How many fatties have you seen and said shit your problem is you are doing way too much cardio.

Hell yeah, if you get into a sport, or even more outdoorsy stuff (exhibitionist BDSM doesn't count sadly, unless you can go for as long as you like without having to scoot)

Dogging?

 

[Repacked]

Dieting without feeling hungry is like Bazza and CT having high tea. It 'aint happening.

 

[C_T]

haha!

 

[jzpowahz]

Cardio is not required

Agreed. But I'd rather do that while losing fat so I can

A eat more
B keep fit

OP: I'm no help. I went from fat to skinny fat. Then took a few years to slowly bulk up. Never a "recomp" period. Well maybe the skinny fat to having some muscles at similar bw. All I did was eat around maintenance and started lifting. So noob gains were apparent. I was also doing mma at the time.

You ever snapped a mans leg with your bare hands?

 

[El Testicle]

Thanks JZ.

I guess thats where im coming from.

No noob but def. feeling skinny fat.

This is the thing that discombobulates me.

My mantra;
we need to eat less
work harder lifting
enjoy other activities

this term "being fit" is nebulous at best, fit for what?
is it the same as being healthy?

being fit will lose fat quick, but the long term effect can be devastating

 

[steveP]

In terms of cardio and "being fit", it means to increase your cardiovascular endurance.

 

[Jungnaut]

@jzpowahz; Eat more, keep fit.. see I much prefer doing that than feeding like a rabbit and locking myself in bed playing WOW in between bouts of mommymilf streaming vids.

I have a hard time thinking how someone can go from skinny to skinny fat though lol. Maybe if that person didn't touch a weight that whole time.

@Silverback; Haha your use of ancient words is uber impressive! I think you'd be less discombobulated if you reconsider 'being fit' as being far less nebulous than you think. Its just a way to describe someone who is off their butt doing something that raises the heart rate and sweat on the forehead a couple of times a week. Training to be superfit like that of an athlete in professional sport on the other hand is where 'long term effects can be devastating'.

 

[Goosey]

You say some pretty smart things at times.

no we have two categories;

the fit, and the super fit, like food and super food.

 

[Bazza20]

only problem with the analogy is there is no such thing as a superfood.

For me, it was fit enough that I would not get destroyed in the sport I was doing at the time

I understand where you are coming from though as plenty of people just do some cardio for fitness with no real idea what sort of fitness they are attempting to achieve.

 

[Goosey]

The thing I'm getting at is, and let's look at a footballer, he goes to gym x times a week, does his training on the field, and then questions, how much cardio, do I need to add?

for the weekend warrior, how much cardio is required throughout the week?

at what point does it become unhealthy?

Thanks, that's what I'm thinking.
i think for most, cardio is a means to control fat, in the short it's great, but will ruin you in the long term.

its why we see so many fat people and skinny fat people.
how often do we see a well muscled women?

If we are just talking about health we have already gone past that point when playing the contact ball sports.

Yeah, any sport is risky, it's a choice we make, there are many benefits, but what do we do, to reduce the risk?
to enjoy the benefits as long as we can?

 

[Jungnaut]

But where the heck would the all the cardio bunnies be if they weren't strolling away at the lowest intensity possible on the treddies, sporting brand spanking new lululemon tights and neon coloured tops that become semi sheer with sweat? Please don't give them the wrong idea and make them leave. That would make me very, very sad.
