how many hours in a DAY should i be doing cardio to lose weight?

[twelvth_goddess]

^I grab a handful of Fitnesse cereal.

[shera]

^^ sweet: a banana or an apple.
salty: a block of mozzarella or peanuts or some pastrami.

at night before going to sleep: low fat milk--slow digesting protein is best for this time!

[Fatbook]

kakingit naman kayo kase u can control ur cravings. ako, grabbing the wrong kinds of food. masarap kase. like junkfood, cakes, and bread

[twelvth_goddess]

^I used to be like that. Madalas pa nagpapa-deliver kame ng pizza or mcdo kahit midnight na. But when I looked at myself in the mirror, I didnt like what I saw na plus my clothes didnt fit me anymore. So that's what motivates me to keep on going with my calorie counting diet and work out routine and so far it's paying off talaga.

dapat ba dire diretso yung exercise like 1 hour straight or pwede yung installment? tipong 30 minutes sa umaga, 10 minutes sa tanghali then the rest sa hapon. parang may nabasa kong ganon somewhere hehe.

[Fatbook]

more effective daw pag tuloy tuloy for 30 to 45 mins. pero di ko kaya. nagrerest ako ng 10 mins. tapos workout uli.

[twelvth_goddess]

^^I think it depends on the intensity of your exercise. You can do cardio for 30 minutes and burn more calories than you would if you do 1 hour if you put more effort into it. For example, you can run for 30 minutes and it may burn more calories than an hour of walking. So yun, depende sa intensity.

  Doesn't have to be derecho. You can break it up in as little as 10 minutes, done 3x/day if you want. If you can do High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT), a 10 minute version is enough for the day. If it's steady state, something you can maintain for 30+ minutes at moderate intensity, then go longer if you want, 45 mins-1 hour.

[shera]

you have to want the body more than the food!

[JINJIN:*]

ask ko lang sa mga expert dito..

1 can only do a 30minute brisk walking every other day like 4 times a week, ok lang ba yun? Been doing this for 5 months, ok naman ang result. Pwede na ba yun at continues parin ang pag loose ko or hindi na kase masasanay nalang body ko?

[miclen20]

when your jogging ba kelangan talaga 30 mins straight? di ba pedeng medyo mabilis mag jog then medyo babagal ng konti then walk then back to high intensity ulit? di ba effective pag ganon?

[abbey]

salamat sa mga sagot!  .. so itutuloy ko na lang yung ginagawa kong "installment plan".
gusto ko rin magtry ng jumping rope since cardio din yun. isisingit ko sa exercise ko. mura pa. bibili ako this week.

^Goodluck Abbey, you can do it Monitor din your weight para you can check if your routine is working. Nung una kase hinde ako nagchcheck ng weight ko but when I started my calorie counting diet and new work out routine, nag-monitor na ko. So far from 130 lbs, I'm down to 120 lbs in a span of 5 weeks. My goal is to lose 1-2lbs per week kase yun naman ang healthy for my BMI. By April, ma-achieve ko na yung weight goal ko

[abbey]

thanks sis! wow 10lbs in 5 weeks, ang galing!  ako 5 o 10lbs din gusto ko ilose. eto pa yung mga nilapang ko nung holiday eh waaahh at tinamad kasi ako magexercise.

May effect ba yung sauna suit while doing cardio sa pagpapapayat? I see a lot of people doing that kasi sa gym, and they sweat a lot! Ok bang investment ang sauna suit or wala naman talaga sya effect ?

[shera]

a sauna suit will only make you sweat and sweating has little to do with calorie burn, it's just your body trying to cool itself. you only lose water weight. and that's about it. ma dehydrate ka pa!

so pretty useless nga sya

[twelvth_goddess]

^^I don't think it's necessary to buy a sauna suit if you wanna sweat a lot while working out. Just out on a jacket, it works just as good. However, just like what Shera said, sweating doesnt mean you're burning more calories so it's not really a good measure.

[siaudreyto]

Ako as my cardio routine mga 1 hour sa mall puro lakad tapos , outdoor walk naman fast paced mga 45 mins painit tapos takbo na for 1 hr. Plus 30 mins na jump rope. Kht jump rope lang gawin ko super pawis na pawis nako I do 50 jumps dire direcho tapos rest 1 min tapos talon ulit hehe.

[soft.spoken.shell]

Threadmill lang ang cardio ko..30-45 mins. kapag may time..daily or 4-5 days/wk. But i'm always strict when it comes to food..

Breakfast }}cereal or oatmeal sometimes wheat bread with omelet

Snack }} any types of fruits..pineaplle...banana, mas maganda saging na saba ripe but not cooked..
i'm not into imported fruits mostly tropical fruits lang kase kapag imported marami chemicals..especially yung mga fruits na hindi na binabalatan..like imported grapes

Lunch}} veggies or any ulam fish (not fried) or veggies..i preferred to eat the ulam without rice..any types of fruits..yogurt instead of ice cream

Dinner }} strictly no rice sa evening..veggies, steamed fish & fruits lang

no Softdrinks (instead Dole or Del monte Pineapple juice but not powdered juice kasi ma-sugar)
no JunkFoods
no chocolates (but sometimes dark chocolates patikim-tikim)
no ice cream (instead yogurt, i buy mostly in big containers para mas cheaper)
no super cold drinks (instead normal temp. water lang)
no canned goods (esp. meat processed foods)

NO PAIN...NO GAIN mga sisses kaya go na into a healthy lifestyle!!!!

Went down from 96 to 86 kg in about 4 months. I did 1 hour brisk walking 5 to 6 times a week for 3 months then gym na for the last month. Puro cardio machines lang. Not planning to bulk up.

IMO portion control is more important than limiting what kind of foods you can eat.
Remember too that Cheat days won't help your cause. Rewarding yourself with food for attaining a fitness goal kinda defeats the purpose of losing weight.
