[Fatbook]

di naman ako nagrarice. tinapay lang in the morning and lunch time. pero mahilig talaga ako sa junkfood and chocolates. di ko talaga mapigilan sarili ko. and saba pala sa gabi kinakain ko...with ulam

[avesoriano]

I want to know what others have to say about this. I vould only spare 16-40 mins a day. Other than that im just procastinating something else

I believe it's not about how long but rather the intensity you do your cardio.  I mean, you can run for 5hrs straight but if your only doing it at a pace equal to simple walking, then it's pretty useless.  The best way is to check out with your doctor or health consultant.

For me any cardio you can do is better than none at all. Even fifteen minutes of any activity in a day counts. It doesn't even have to be your trad jogging or aero type excercises. Just taking the stairs instead of the escalator counts, walking a bit briskly sa mall, park farther from where your going and walk there, or just plain walk and not take the car. Any activity that will raise your heart rate counts.

Re the example below, running at walking pace is kinda contradictory, but for 5 hours, that so counts too. Basta break a bit of a sweat tho. Now if your ready to amp it up, then go for longer duration or higher intensity a few times a week.

ang best kung ang office mo nasa 10th plus floor, hagdan ka na lang, araw araw.. a very good way of exercise

Nabasa ko sa net, ang mga hollywood stars pag indoor ang cardio  usually 20 mins lang sila. pero pag sa labas sila nag Jog, halos 1 hour daw ang inaabot nila. 3- 4 times a week nila gnagwa. Depende nga siguro kung gaano ka intense ang cardio na ginagawa.

@Fatbook : At least siguro sis 30mins. a day on most days of the week. But you should replace those unhealthy foods with healthy ones. Carbs is not totally all bad, know your portions too.

Eating junk food and chocolates is worse than skipping rice. It's still better to have rice sa meals than any junk food or chocolate.

Rice is even considered a good carbohydrate. Depending on the type of rice, it can even be a good source of fiber.

The word "junk food" says it all. Chocolate has way too much calories than any amount of rice you have skipped for the day.

Sis TS -- It depends on what you eat and how much you eat. I do calorie counting and dapat 1200 calories max per day ako. I do cardio 4 times a week and I make sure that I lose about 250-300 kcals on an hour's worth of cardio. I do functional exercises din kase for targeted muscle areas.

If you really wanna lose weight sis you need ot watch what you eat. I've been going to the gym for months and it's only recently that i started losing weight kase recently lang din ako nag-start with calorie counting. Nade-depress na kase ko dati na ang sipag ko mag-gym pero hinde ako naglo-lose ng weight, nadadag-dagan pa. The culprit was really my eating habits.

[JINJIN:*]

I been doing cardio for like 3 times a week. 30mins to 40 mins lang. I think thats more than enough pero i saw other people doing it for more than 1 hour. In my case naman, I am loosing weight naman so I guess tama na yun. I dont know ha, pero usually mga 3 to 4 kilometers lang nalalakad ko eh. Hindi kase ako makatagal sa pagtakbo. Sumasakit yung hita ko, yung buto ko hindi makatagal. Hindi ko alam kung bakit. Kahit pag nag cocombat ako hindi talga ako makasabay kase hindi kaya ng paa ko ang magtatatalon at magsisisisipa. Kaya kong magbuhat ng mabigat at kahit matagal pa pero ang pagtakbo at pagtalon nahihirapan ako.

[twelvth_goddess]

^Me too, I do brisk walking lang. 6.5 lang yung speed tapos 3 gradient. It're more than enough to make me sweat buckets Whenever I run kase super sakit na ng legs ko and I cant do other exercises anymore.

[shera]

20-30 minutes of high intesnsity cardio should be enough for the day.
But you can't lose all the weight without fixing the diet kasi it's like taking two steps forward, one step back. parang wasted ang exercise if you still keep eating bad!

[freelancer_babe]

^ How true.

Ginawa ko kasi noon physically active ako. Pinagpawisan nang husto, but I didn't lose the weight.

Food is a big factor in gaining weight. I always remember dyan din ako nag-gain ng weight. It's not the lack of physical activities, but a change in food preferences. Naging mahilig ako sa junk noon.

I'm slowly trying to recover. I'm motivating myself to lose weight. Food choices ko sa bahay iba na. No more chocolates, junks and softdrinks at home. Bihira ako magpunta sa store - I always think na magastos at nakakasira ng budget - which really is. I buy in groceries instead of relying sa store.

I decided not to hire a maid. Ako na lang gagawa ng gawaing bahay. That keeps my mom physically fit. I think I could too.

[telekikay]

alisin mo to. now na.

[HuggingFitMum]

Hi there! Just a quick reply...

Our body starts to burn fat after moderately exercising for 30 minutes... Moderate would be yung kaya mo pa magsalita ng kaunti habang tumatakbo ko - hindi naman yung sobrang hingal.

Continuous 30-45 minutes a day of brisk walking, running, jogging, skipping rope, badminton at a hard to talk intensity is okay

[rlin_0811]

30 min everyday and longer hours in stationary bike during weekends plus healthy food intake

[JINJIN:*]

nainis ako sa pt ko nung isang araw, kase I am doing the cross training at a high speed of 10 in level 5. I can still talk though pero hingal na. I do this for like min of 30 plus dance classes. Tapos etong PT ko gusto niyang gawing kong level 10 above in the same speed of 10. My gawd ang tigas nun. Sabi niya you work hard daw to achieve your goal, pero ayaw ko namang patayin ko ang sarili ko no. Na iinis ako sa mga PT na ganyan, yung tipong papagawin ka ng mga bagay na hindi realistic for you. Realistic siguro kung gradually at kelangan munang palakasin ko ang tuhod at leg bones ko at hindi kagad kagad. Anyway, nakakainis yung mga PT na ganyan na ayaw makinig, ayaw kong maging rude sa kanya pero kung pipilitin niya ko sa gusto niya eh baka mareklamo ko siya. Tapos sabi ko baka kung gawin ko yun baka super pagod na ako at hindi na ko makagawa ng gawaing bahay paguwi ko, eh sabi niya ok lang yun kase andito ka para magpagod. Well, totoo naman yun pero  hindi naman sa pageexcersice umiikot ang buhay ko tulad nilang PT or gym instructor. Basta wag siyang makulit coz im loosing weight naman but slowly but surely,and I know I am doing really great so ok na yun saken.

[summersong]

30-45 min per day is enough, 4-5 days a week. but keep track of your eating habits. you won't lose any weight even if you follow your cardio regimen pero kain karpintero.

[Sweet_Kyla]
