Current Events > Proper cardio routine to lose body fat fast?

(+) Yeah! (+)

And any dietary advice?

It's just calories in/out, what are you wondering?

Swimming burns the most calories/hr, HIIT burns the most per minute but you can only handle doing it like twice a week. Eating protein is low calorie and high satiety (which means it makes you feel full), veggies are high satiety and nearly zero calories

Sugar makes you more hungry, usually. Drinking calories doesn't fill you up at all and is a waste

Strength training will help you preserve muscle, which is easily lost if you under eat, and if you have more muscle you'll burn more calories

The best routine would be three days of full body strength training per week and 6 days of 1 hour of swimming, coupled with a high protein (120g+) whole foods based diet

Your diet helps you lose weight more than anything

I run 10 miles a day.

Thinking of getting into regular cardio. Morning runs.

Holy shit, do you really? I run about 20 to 25 miles a week. Usually between 5 and 7 miles each run. I did 9 today, which was the most since my half marathon training 4 years ago.

But yeah, running is extremely efficient at losing calories. I burned 1200 today.

I do know swimming is great, but hard for most people to do more than a few minutes at first. But maybe that is true when starting running too.

I recommend stairs for a number of reasons.

It tones your legs and butt better than most cardio exercises and it's not as hard on your knees and hips as running.

After that i hit the weights for an hour.

Listen to this guy, this is all solid advice.

The only thing I would add is for protein specifically, I would stick to 0.8-1 grams of protein per pound of what you weigh, and space it out between 4-5 meals per day.

I generally try to not have more than 30-40g of protein per sitting.
