Rico my man! I love your vids. I have started doing the HIIT and man you feel like you've run a freekin marathon on that last set. It's great too for fighters because it conditions your body to sudden, intense situations being thrust upon you.
sorry I dont want to sound like i'm having a pop; he hesitates and then says 50% natural fats and oils, I take it this was a mistakeis, 50% that sounds like too much oil
HEY Rico my budy works out on an empty stomach and he is jacked shouldnt u go catabolic if ur on an empty stomach or does the body use fat as the main energy source wich prevents you from going catabolic on an empty stomach ?
@9mmeagle I would puke if I had food in my stomach when I worked out. You don't want energy for digestion taking away from your workout either........eat a meal 2 hours before or a protein shake 30 min before
hey dude obviously you know your stuff but, an individual should not just "automatically" jump on a treadmill and do interval training. One should gradually get to interval training by running on the treadmill for 15 mins before a workout with the last 5 or so minutes running at a decent speed.
This technique helped me lose 40 pounds in a month (with the right diet too of course) so maybe this will help people not dive head first into something crazy like max interval training.
I agree with the interval training thing, but you said 'running for 45 minutes is more likely to be less beneficial than anything', or something like that. Jogging isn't not beneficial, it is beneficial. Humans have been made to be long jogging, stamina intensive hunters, like wolves. That's why we have made dogs as diverse as they are. Saying jogging for 45minutes isn't beneficial is bullshit, you shouldn't say things like that.
@FakePlasticShrimp You've got it backwards. Our caveman ancestors didn't make themselves repeat the same movement ten thousand times – day after day! Cavemen followed natural cycles of work and rest : periods of exertion and recovery. They didn't run for hours on end. Man wasn't made to run for long periods of time. Your kind of "logic" causes "shrinkage:" Smaller muscles, smaller heart and smaller lungs. What's worse, it wipes out your heart's and lung's reserve capacity
god someone who knows what they're talking about lol. i swear when i see some of these "how to lose weight" videos on utube it's so wrong... I mean there may be 1 or 2 things they say that are true but the main message they seem to say is machines and gadgets work or if u work out for 4 times a week or whatever it is will make u lose weight. People don't understand that eating 5 meals a day lean muscle and nutrition in combination of the training will make u lose or bulk up depending on ur food.
Hey bud got a question I'm working out to build muscle and my question is if I were to to cardio on an empty stomach to lose weight, am I gonna lose muscle also?
I have a question about HIIT that you mentioned in a couple of your videos. I get the idea and how you do it, but is there a way to do it without using running i.e. a lower impact machine? Maybe an eliptical? Just asking because I have a bum knee.
HIIT is anaerobic which is your burning sugar for energy. Jogging is ALOT better for fat because its aerobic which your using fats as a energy source. PLEASE stop giving people advise because your doing it all with steroids. Stop taking the easy way out. If you didnt do steroids you wouldn't have ANY muscle
@fcuk90001 You are obviously ignorant about the new science of burning fat and conditioning your heart and lungs. I suppose you are going to tell Dr. Mercola, Dr. Al Sears, Mike Adams and the other top health experts in the world to stop too! You are a very ignorant person making bold statements about a guy you have never met. Stop being ignorant. You are a judgmental, negative moron........I did it the right way.,read the book holmes
@totalhealth4life I just know the SCIENCE behind actual fitness and weight loss. You cant give out advise when your on fucking drugs buddy. Its WRONG. HIIT cardio is VERY good for people that dont need to lose weight. You can only do hiit cardio for about 1 minute and it elevates your heart to the maximum which is good but since your only doing it for short periods of time your not burning all that much calories. Long jogging is alot longer burning alot more calories then HIIT.
@fcuk90001 I'm sorry .......do you KNOW me? "on fucking drugs"?? Classy statement bro. I'm sure everyone reading will see your negative, hater mentality. A 25 year old wet behind the ears. I've FORGOTTEN more than you'll ever KNOW. Everything I am is through decades of hard work and dedication to learning the science of weights, nutrition and supplementation. Another hater... oh hum.. next! Thats OK I"m very used to it. If you don't like my view then why do you look at my videos? Duh!
@totalhealth4life Hmm so you didn't tell bdbfighting that you didn't do steroids? STOP fucking bullshiting. Your on the juice and you know it. You going to lie to yourself? Im in better shape then you will ever be. You explain to me right now how the vibra bullcrap helps in weight loss. Explain the science then big shot.
@fcuk90001 "my dad's bigger than yours!" I KNEW what the REAL problem you have with me was and now it's come out! HA Your own insecurities. OK son.......you're better than me.......feel good now about yourself? You're a close minded young know-it-all......I have changed 1000s of lives for the better so put a sock in it hater. What have YOU done to help people? I've got the answer.......NOTHING. You could get hit in the face with a brick and wouldn't know it.......bdfighting??? you're lame
@totalhealth4life Im actually not a hater. I take fitness VERY seriously and HATE it when these people that dont know what there talking about on juice try to give out fitness advise. Go to bodyperformancetv he knows what real fitness is thats why i respect him. I dont respect you at all stop making vids and just go to the gym and do your own thing. Dont give out false information because frankly there is too much bad advise out there to begin with. About 10% of the stuff you say is true.
@fcuk90001 stop looking at my videos if they suck and watch your bodyperformance guy. It's a free country joker. 10% ......thats about the amount of your brain cells working
@fcuk90001 I don't have much to say regarding anything but HIIT. The articles I've read indicate that HIIT elevates resting metabolism temporarily, thus burning more calories over time. It is effective for weight loss. Source: google scholar, search "high intensity interval training metabolism HIIT"
@totalhealth4life Also your obviously DUMB in believing in dumb marketing bullshit like the vibra-slim. By the way i met LOTS of out of shape doctors and you know what? Doctors are not in the fitness and weight loss field. You should really listen to people that have degrees in biology and philosophy. People that actually know about the body and how it works.
@fcuk90001 another ignorant statement .......... why did I expect anything else from you? Vibration technology proven by SCIENCE buddy. I suppose the NFL, pro hockey, and baseball and college teams that use it don't know what they are doing either.. wow...Do your homework. These are the leading experts in the field of non biased research and all of them are in better shape than 99% of all western doctors. Fitness and weight loss are their SPECIALTIES.! wrong again!
@totalhealth4life Come on man just use your common sense. Do you also think those belts you put around your waste that vibrate to help in loosing weight? To lose weight you need to be doing exercises that burns enough calories causing weight loss. Doing a few push-ups on a vibrating machine is not burning calories like jogging would. Also remember the FDA only recommends 58 grams of protein even for bodybuilders and we get 2-3 times that in a normal diet. Eating tons and tons of protein is myth.
@fcuk90001 FDA...............omg...........a dumbass who believes one of the most corrupt organizations in the country...........I rest my case!!!!!! another brainwashed lackey...........wowwwwww
@MrRanger1987 It's not one minute......by the time the treadmill hits the speed I set Im sprinting for more like thirty seconds.....and I work up to that speed from my early sets
@totalhealth4life I love your videos and yes you can build up to be able to run like that for a full min. I've lost 30 lbs. Thanks to you. This might not all be a perfect system but it definitely shows results.
@Kemorphosis I will turn 56 in two weeks and I have never been in better shape in my whole life.........age is irrelevant......It's all in the book!! Thanks bro
Bicycling or swimming will both work the same way. When he says to sprint instead of walking, he's saying you increase the intensity of your workout whether it be running, bicycling faster or swimming faster.
use a stationary cycle,warm-up 5 minutes at easy pace,then go 1 minute at a harder pace and 1minute at an easy pace again, then 1 minute a little bit harder then the first time, and on an on until you've done 5 sets or episodes of 1 minute fast paces and 5-1 minute episodes at an easy pace,you can use a row machine also,it really doesn't matter the equipment you use,its all about exerting energy at a high enough level to cause an elevated heart rate for short intense burst,then short recoverys
Rico running method is soo right. I used this method when I was involved with martial arts. Not a tread mill fan. Ran in the grass along the sidewalk. Inconsistancy grassy/dirt ground worked inner-outer calf muscles better and less chances of twisting ankle when not working out. Trains your subconscience mind to make correction instantly.
When I'm at the gym, I see people on the treadmill for what seems like HOURS and they are usually fat. I never understood how someone could spend an hour on the treadmill every day and still manage to be fat. Maybe it has to do with the fact that they are not engaged in interval training and they're just jogging at a medium pace, continuously.
Not just a protein shake. Have something with the shake. Like oatmeal and or fruits. Try to eat whole foods instead of bars and shakes. Protein shakes are good after weight lifting but eat at least twice as much carbs with your shake. You won´t put on fat from the carbs that you eat before and after weightlifting.
The best time to do cardio is on an empty stomach and the reason for that is your body immediately starts looking for energy stored inside your body, which is your fat. I drink black coffee in the morning and hit the gym, come back and eat breakfast.
People still struggle to get that the your muscle mass, strength and endurance, heavy help towards your matabolism.
Which is why i get my cleints doing weights even though they think they'll gain weight. and even if they do gain weight that isn't how people should measure wether they are fat or not.
Look in the mirror, measure your waist etc. your proportions and how you feel you look are more important then what the scales tell you
thats impossible to answer bro....you know that....way too many variables involved...genetics, and all the many factors involved in my lifestyle...I will tell you this....you will get there faster than any other program
Crap, thats actually exactly what im doing, in that order even. maybe ill just switch it up a bit, i guess im plateauing. Thank u for helping tho - i know ur probably busy!!
Well hey thanks for writin me back there. :-) i do have a real question, however. OK in short, i am a 25 year old female amature figure bodybuilder @ 130 lbs. Ive been around the bodybuilding block as much as a 25 year old can. No matter what I do, i can't get bowling ball delts, my anterior delts lag so much! ah! whats your favorite exercises for shoulder days? You seem to know exactly what youre doing so i thought id ask ;-) PS- i am dieting correctly and making sure im eating clean and ALOT.
You are all screwed up bro. You need to read my book or anyone else you trust because two meals a day is terrible. You need to learn the science of nutrition
One thing I do and I do it very well........is being healthy....you don't have to reinvent the wheel. NO trial and error...I've done that for you. Just buy the book and get healthy and fit!
So I should stop smoking and eating fatty foods but I love fatty foods and smoking those are my 2 favorite things but I hate being fat to I dont know what to do cant I just eat what I want and smoke but work harder? my wife thinks Im to big and I need to do something but I love doing bad things like smoking any help would be great
if you saw the black tar and nicotine coating your lungs you'd quit immediately. Your chances of getting cancer are at best 50/50 and probably a lot worse. Same with eating a bad diet.......you have about a minium 70% chance of getting chronic disease if you continue these habits......your choice! My book can change your health and your life.
Thank you for your response Ill do my best to stop smoking and eating bad hell I mite even take a look at your book one more thing I have a bad lower back that has kept my out of work for some time now walking is a big problem for me Im only 26 and 245 lbs I use to be in good shape but never looked like you I would love that
when you give the body the right nutrition it becomes in a state where it can heal itself....you won't be sorry bro....look at the video testimonial response on my testimonial video
Rico. ive got some questions, im overweight i want to lose weight, should i do the HIIT, or start on jogging/walking in the morning. also, is oatmeal a good dietary meal to replace milk and cornflakes. thanks.
Overweight people should stay away from all grains and dairy...eat clean, fruit, veggies, beans, nuts, etc. if you dont do cardio start jogging and then after start some medium HIIT and work into the intensity as your fitness allows. My book is your Bible for achieving optimal health!
yea, I always thought that If I was to do sit-ups and crunches, Id Lose my belly fat. Its actually proven that doing ab exercises will not burn belly fat, like many people think.
Beautiful car, and great device. I started doing HIIT on my Gazelle, and I realized I feel way more out of breathe, and I feel as if It was a better workout. I Lift weights and do my interval training after I do my weights, is that the best way to do it?
That was an introductory code when we first launched.....It's been discontinued. Sorry..but you get 5 bonuses for free when you buy the book....follow the instructions on my home page
you can do it for about one hour a week. .... 4 14 min sessions or 6 ten min sessions either first thing in the morning or after weight training so you combine them.
question- sometimes i have no time to eat so i eat fast food, but i would eat 1 fast food meal only and not eat for the rest of the day. Is that healthy?? i know about all the small meals, which i do most of the time, but sometimes i just have no time to eat.
Nowhere near. Basically a day with 0 nutrients going into your body. If you're going to eat fast food, don't starve yourself for the rest of the day to make up for it. that'll only catabolize your metabolism. Just try to find a way around the fast food man
ok my "feed seller" !!! Sounds more like you are the "tool" who is very, very insecure with himself......try to get confidence from being healthy and positive instead of being a complete idiot who surfs the web looking to rip people up. What have you done good for people lately......"tool"?
Dude! You are the best! I truly appreciate your support and knowing that my passion and purpose is to teach people how to obtain the highest quality of life and health.
you're doing way too much cardio if you're trying to maintain muscle mass...do high intensity, interval cardio........one min fast, one min walking for 5 to 7 sets
Don't know what top end is like on the Lotus. LS1 Trans Am's have great top end, but it'll need to lose a whole lot of weight to keep up with the Lotus 0-60.
Bro thats a lot of info.......it would take a lot more than a paragraph or two. Have your parents buy you my book on amazon.....it's 300 pages full of information and motivation.
Rico my man! I love your vids. I have started doing the HIIT and man you feel like you've run a freekin marathon on that last set. It's great too for fighters because it conditions your body to sudden, intense situations being thrust upon you.

Hi Mr Rico, I have started to do interval training to lose some fat. So I sprint and jog in sessions...
however, after every day of running my legs hurt for about 3 days... especially the part just above the ankles. Sometimes also the thighs...
Is it because i havent been doing enough leg presses and squats in the gym?
Should I continue to run even with pain or rest 3/4 days between training sessions?

People still struggle to get that the your muscle mass, strength and endurance, heavy help towards your matabolism.
Which is why i get my cleints doing weights even though they think they'll gain weight. and even if they do gain weight that isn't how people should measure wether they are fat or not.
Look in the mirror, measure your waist etc. your proportions and how you feel you look are more important then what the scales tell you

if you saw the black tar and nicotine coating your lungs you'd quit immediately. Your chances of getting cancer are at best 50/50 and probably a lot worse. Same with eating a bad diet.......you have about a minium 70% chance of getting chronic disease if you continue these habits......your choice! My book can change your health and your life.
totalhealth4life 3 years ago
Thank you for your response Ill do my best to stop smoking and eating bad hell I mite even take a look at your book one more thing I have a bad lower back that has kept my out of work for some time now walking is a big problem for me Im only 26 and 245 lbs I use to be in good shape but never looked like you I would love that

Rico. ive got some questions, im overweight i want to lose weight, should i do the HIIT, or start on jogging/walking in the morning. also, is oatmeal a good dietary meal to replace milk and cornflakes. thanks.

Overweight people should stay away from all grains and dairy...eat clean, fruit, veggies, beans, nuts, etc. if you dont do cardio start jogging and then after start some medium HIIT and work into the intensity as your fitness allows. My book is your Bible for achieving optimal health!

Beautiful car, and great device. I started doing HIIT on my Gazelle, and I realized I feel way more out of breathe, and I feel as if It was a better workout. I Lift weights and do my interval training after I do my weights, is that the best way to do it?

Hey Rico, should I do high intensity cardio every single day? I lift weights every other day so I figure it's not overkill...
TimeGoesBySoSlowly99 3 years ago
you can do it for about one hour a week. .... 4 14 min sessions or 6 ten min sessions either first thing in the morning or after weight training so you combine them.

question- sometimes i have no time to eat so i eat fast food, but i would eat 1 fast food meal only and not eat for the rest of the day. Is that healthy?? i know about all the small meals, which i do most of the time, but sometimes i just have no time to eat.
talent1o1 3 years ago
Nowhere near. Basically a day with 0 nutrients going into your body. If you're going to eat fast food, don't starve yourself for the rest of the day to make up for it. that'll only catabolize your metabolism. Just try to find a way around the fast food man
