hey hey! Have you thought about - fast abs magic (do a google search)? Ive heard some amazing things about it and my GF got great Six pack abs and lost a truck load of of fat with it.
you only have to look at Phelps' diet.. stupid amount of calories.. marathon runners dont even need that many calories, so i think that proves a point..
I do my running in the park, the city put there a nice track for runners... the one with that softish, redish emulsion. The track is 1150 meters long. I usually run for 6 or 7 laps in one seance, but on some days when I'm bored I do that twice. I swear that the track is getting shorter every day :D Its getting boring. I need to find something else, like running uphill.
hi steve. One thinh i dont understand is calesthenics. I know u make a point about needing high intensity exercise to cause muscular growth, but is there any value in doing for example hundreds of push ups dips etc, exept for endurance.. i dont understand how someone (mike tyson) can weigh 230 pounds of pure muscle,, and according to himself, only ever did intense calesthetics.. thanyou
@BodyPerformanceTV thank u a lot i have a question see im gonna tell u everything im 14 years old i got belly fat that im trying to lose and this is what im doing 1 day i do 15 minutes of jump roping which brings me to 1 question what if i mess up can i keep going ? also the other day i do 6 minutes of crunches, 2 minutes of leg raises , 2 minutes of corebridge and since i dont wanna gain any weight i dont eat school food and i eat boiled chicken and 2 pieces of loaf what you think i should do?

@BodyPerformanceTV i went on the webiste its only till november 3 , 2010 theres no 11/04/10 so...where should i do to see the answer to my question???
I think the best is walking sick hills. In the San Francisco area we have some sick hills about 45 degrees. That will get your wind going with no impact.

would say a basketball game be considered a fartlek kind of cardio where its kind of like random untimed intervals? i thought that was actually one of the best ways to workout because its like a run/sprint/walk random mixture. so if i played a full court pick up basketball game it would be the same as going out and jogging/walking for an hour or so right? but even more entense because of all the extra movements i have to do and adding in random sprints
ok but a lot of time I do aerobic excersise but I tend to loose a lot of body mass sometimes. Even when I do a little weight lifting afterwards. What am I doin wrong...Please
I know you aren't high on the p90x but I've just completed the 90 days and seen great results with the help of you videos. Do you think the plyometrics video is better than walking and running for calorie burn even though you do pause between each exercise? Im asking because it takes a lot of motivation to get up and jump around over going outside and getting a good jog on and I want to know if plyo gives me the best bang for my buck.
like your videos, not sure this one is the most accurate with having to include all of the legs, skip rope or hit a heavy bag for 20-30 minutes daily and see if you're not losing weight
@green3341 Im at the beginning of my 18th week.. last week I weighed in at 233.0 which is about 20lbs lost from when i first posted and 25lbs total so far in 18 wks(not bad, very decent).. i now generally eat anything from 2100-2500 cals a day.. I know that increase is attributed to how active I've become b/c my appetite has increased, if im feeling hungry then I will eat, there's no need to starve..
I started at 258, I eat 2000-2300cals(max) daily consisting of anything: pizza, steak, spaghetti,etc. as long as it totals between 2000-2300cals, also I may eat 2 meals a day and snack in between or eat 4 meals a day and snack in between(doesnt matter), I lift weights on MWF and play basketball on Tues/Thurs. for about 1hr to1and1/2hr(including water breaks, new team selections, etc.).. I dont lift weights or play ball AT ALL on weekends and I may cheat on my diet but more than often not..
Let me tell you someting... If you swim intensly for an hour you are going to burn a good chunk of calories. If you jump rope for an hour you are going to burn a shit load of calories. It does not require a hole leg recruitment to be effective cardio. I dont know what cracker jack BS he got this from but its not true. I use an arm cycler at my gym and it burns a ton of calories using smaller muscles. As far as his other examples like basket ball these are NOT aerobic sports they are anarobic.
@davidbiton Yes! They're great! I do a 20 minute HIIT workout. I sprint for a minute, then walk for a minute. Be sure to include a warm-up and cool-down.
@davidbiton Thats good. I prefer a little longer intervals however, so I don't constantly need to change the speed on the treadmill. Keep in mind you need to be in good shape to do that.
in the army we ran timed distance 3x a week for about 3 miles at a 8-10min mile pace and the other day was interval training. we started off doing 60sec sprint:60sec walk, and gradually built up throughout the weeks to 120sec sprint and 30seconds jog for about 20minutes. we were all in awesome shape. granted we did constant moving all day but for our actual workouts it was that for cardio training and bodyweight exercises only for our workouts.
@davidbiton ive heard 2:1 ratio is the best 2 minutes then 1 minute rest or 10 minutes running 5 minutes rest would be a bit boring and long time, so i would do an active rest
I run 20 min before doing weights and dont rest between sets over 15 seconds but still at the end of work out feel a bit cold! is that normal? should I run some more half way trough weights?
I've actually wondered this for a while now, so I'll ask. Is the step test an effective cardio? (I'm assuming yes since it's basically a non-mechanical stairmaster)
For the average person who is not trained to swim competitively (most people get in the gym pool and do a lap or two and stop or sprint and stop for 5 min...) I could see why you would think it's not aerobic. But swimming actually uses your legs (kicking), as well as your upper body, whereas running is primarily legs and arm flailing. Swimming is primarily arms/abs and leg flailing.
@jrg305 It's still not as strenuous on the legs. A great work out, easier on the joints, and much better than maybe walking or biking. But breathing is irregular and you're using your core and arms, muscles which are not as large as the legs. Not to mention technique. How you run can determine how much you burn as well. Same goes for swimming, but running puts more stress on the larger muscles of the body and the heart. Like how you'll likely be cool swimming, but not running. Just my two cents
As a competitive swimmer for the past 12 years, I have to disagree with swimming being 'not great' for cardio. It takes knowledge of technique and efficiency to be able to turn it into a cardio exercise (non-stop, long duration). It's also something you can do for the rest of your life rather than blow your knees out running right? You also didn't cover interval training. Long duration low intensity is good for fat burn as a % of energy used, but not a rate of fat energy used.
Skipping is good but the problem with skipping is that you tend to get bored after a while. The best exercise is the one you do enjoy doing it regularly. I do walking regularly because I find it addictive and enjoyable.
Low carb diets are no they effective because the body scarifices muscle and uses it for energy because the body is not eating carbs. So much of the weight loss is water and muscle. Oatmeal with protein is fine. It's still the total number of calories eaten a day.
I Have A Question Are Low Card Diets Really Healthy Or Is It Effective In Fat Loss Because I Am On My Cutting Phase And I Am Worried About Eating Oatmeal For Lunch With Some Whey Protein Is This Alright To Do
You're welcome and thank you for watching. Not to brag but most "fitness experts" don't train with true intensity so they don't know many of these concepts. Nor do they really continue their education to seek out the truth. They just believe the garbage posted by companies seeking to make money using websites and magazines and people's ignorance.
Running in place is not quite as good as running but if you did it longer it would give you the same effect. I would walk AND do the mini tramp. Mix it up a bit.
I used to jog and always maintained. Now I have problems with my knee so I bought a mini trampoline and I run in place on it. It feels similar to jogging and my thighs and buttocks are getting developed. Do you think it has the same aerobic benefits? or would you think that walking is better?
Not to promote a certain product but taebo is a really really good cardio work out its about 40 minutes and you will sweat, if any ones interested search on here and you should be able to find it i think sweetlady something uploaded it but Ive gotten results and its not a gimmick.
It's not bad but I don't think it's the best. I prefer walking, jogging, biking because these are a bit more intense and involve complete use (flexation) of the legs whcih means you'll burn more calories because the legs are big muscles. The more often you walk & jog and the longer you do it the more calories you will burn. Also eat 5 less bites at each meal. These things will help you lose weight.
I have a question, Is dancing aerobic exercise good? Please reply me back if u can help me so i can start my workout because im quite unsure of this kind of exercise. Please i need tips and advice
Im going to tell everybdy the secret to burning fat right now so get your note pads out!one word> SPRINTS by foot by bike by water!all animals are designed to hunt!why do u think a cheater is so lean and strong?why do think 100m sprinters are so lean and muscular?think about it!its right in front of you,its basic,it makes sense.The body is efficient and maintains more muscle wit least amount of B.F when used the way its designed to be used.I recommend sprint intervals by bike in gym or outdoors
the best aerobic exercise and believe me i lose 50lbs in 4weeks in the stair climbing u can lose over 1000cals in just 40min. a couple of tips when doing it, if u are over weight put ur resistance to 7 and ur crossramp to 6 because then u are breaking fat in all of ur muscle grps in ur legs
so how about climbing up & down in a stair for 20min? is it good? do i really have to do that everyday or 3-4x a week is would be ok. what should i do to lose fat and at the same time grow more muscle coz i don't want to lose fat to look thin and skinny. i want to build more muscle on my body but not too much like of those professional body builder. sorry for my english.
no one told you to pig out and go on an eating frenzy just because you do cardio. i beleive your one of those really lazy people that just dont like to run.
This is so wrong, it doesn't matter if you start or stop as long as your workout is intense. Like sprinting for 30 seconds and then walking for another 30 to 60 seconds and then repeating it 5 or a 6 times or more if you can. This builds muscle and burns more calories than consistently jogging for 20 minutes straight. HIIT is the best for burning calories and building muscle.
This guy doesn't know what he's talking about, look at his body, he has muscles but it's covered in fat.
wow.....i never knew that.....i skateboarded for years which is stop, start , stand around.....get injured, take two weeks off then start up again..........and even when i was doint that i always had a gut......but ever since ive been doing the tredmil i notice major weight loss results in a short period of time...........steve youre great......i really appreciate theses videos
excuse me????? Swimming is so healthy and makes you lose weight fast!! I even lost 14 pounds because of it, while I already have a healthy BMI! You'll be moving you're legs very much and they have to work harder because of the pressure that the water gives your body..
yes, it works the legs. but maybe you can look into doing variations on jump rope, such as different jumps. jump on one foot, or switch on which foot you jump with.
"Aerobics" are when you use the oxidative pathway of energetics. In otherwords, its when you burn oxygen as a source of fuel. He's right about basketball and football. First creatine phosphate will be used to power muscle contractions - then blood sugar - then oxygen. Creatine and blood sugar (glycogen) work extremely well and can replace themselves quick enough in a submaximal sport like basketball, that the athletes rarely are required to use oxygen to power muscle contractions.
Its possible to do aerobics with just one muscle - anytime you bench press or curl something 25 or 30 times till failure, that muscle is burning oxygen to keep working. It just doesn't create a massive oxygen debt which makes you breath heavy like running. Finally, aerobics are not really the best way to lose weight, since most of what's burned is blood sugar rather than fat. I would strongly recommend the run-walk method rather than pure cardio.
ive always used a cardio(jogging, skipping, rowing, biking etc.. as a big part of my workout.. i favour using the cross trainer vs the treadmill. is one better than the other? how would u rate the cross trainer.? also. it would be awsome if u posted a video based on stretching.. when 2.. how long.. etc.. thx.
Charts in the net says that biking with moderate speed burns much more calories than jogging or walking. And it is easier to ride a bike for 1 h than to jog for such a time.
I'm the type of person that eats to live... not lives to eat. I'm a fan of cardio. I run and I use the EFX at the gym. If I ate more would it really give me that much more energy? I would rather drink something to give me more energy. It's not that I feel that I'm lacking energy. Just always room for improvement. Any help from anyone would be appreciated.
This means you DO NOT necessarily need something that requires your lower body! (though its still a logical idea.) In other words, if waving your arms around in circles is challenging enough to make you breath harder - to the point where you have difficulty getting enough air - then keep doing that for 20 minutes. According to the laws of adaptation, your aerobic capacity will increase.
The ACTUAL "best", as far as aerobics go, and as far as the scientific laws governing human physiological adaptations, would be 'any repetitive activity or movement which lasts longer than 5 minutes and challenges the aerobic endurance threshold'.
hey scooby, i like your videos alot, they are very helpful, i just have a problem, after exercising for 2 weeks, my face is like getting all bony, kinda wrinkly and i could see my cheeks more, and my nose bigger, what do you recommend i should do?
What about EPOC and the fact that studies have shown that HIIT is more effective than steady state cardio for burning body fat? Take a look at boxers, wrestlers, and sprinters. All of those groups (except for perhaps the heavyweight boxers and wrestlers) are extremely lean. Have you ever tried those activities? I have and I can tell you that jogging isn't even in the same ball park as grappling/wrestling or boxing/kickboxing when it comes to burning calories.
Sailor Moon, volley ball would be good if it was one on one or two on two where you are pretty much always moving, but when playing regular volleyball on a big team, you are mainly going to be standing around for longer periods time, so you won't get as much activity as some of the other activities, like running.
damn it man ! swimming is not good ?! wts wrong with u ?
swimming is the best sport ... u swin 4 an hour and u DO NOT have to worry about switting !! also, how come that swimming doesnt use the lower part of the body !
I do alot of reading myself on nutrion and what works and doesnt,but that was a very nice way how you explained the lower part of the body has to be involved to achieve maximum results.
hello and greetings from spain i have a question .. i gained 23 punds since august last year and i really dont know how to manage that now.. ok well go run.. and so on but.. is there another method? :-p wel li guess not lol
Hey, I'd just like to add that you should try alternating from low to high intensity, every few minutes. This makes your heart rate change more often, burning a lot more calories.
hey hey! Have you thought about - fast abs magic (do a google search)? Ive heard some amazing things about it and my GF got great Six pack abs and lost a truck load of of fat with it.

I could see why you would think it's not aerobic. But swimming actually uses your legs (kicking), as well as your upper body, whereas running is primarily legs and arm flailing. Swimming is primarily arms/abs and leg flailing.
jrg305 2 years ago
@jrg305 It's still not as strenuous on the legs. A great work out, easier on the joints, and much better than maybe walking or biking. But breathing is irregular and you're using your core and arms, muscles which are not as large as the legs. Not to mention technique. How you run can determine how much you burn as well. Same goes for swimming, but running puts more stress on the larger muscles of the body and the heart. Like how you'll likely be cool swimming, but not running. Just my two cents

As a competitive swimmer for the past 12 years, I have to disagree with swimming being 'not great' for cardio. It takes knowledge of technique and efficiency to be able to turn it into a cardio exercise (non-stop, long duration). It's also something you can do for the rest of your life rather than blow your knees out running right? You also didn't cover interval training. Long duration low intensity is good for fat burn as a % of energy used, but not a rate of fat energy used.

i agree with you, i think swimming is a great cardio excercise

Skipping is good but the problem with skipping is that you tend to get bored after a while. The best exercise is the one you do enjoy doing it regularly. I do walking regularly because I find it addictive and enjoyable.

True Steve,
Studies have shown that the treadmill is great for fat-burning exactly because of what you say. It uses the large muscles well and continously.
Also like you said, Swimming is poor for fat loss.
Steve Turano - well ahead of the game.
bullybasher2000 2 years ago
Low carb diets are no they effective because the body scarifices muscle and uses it for energy because the body is not eating carbs. So much of the weight loss is water and muscle. Oatmeal with protein is fine. It's still the total number of calories eaten a day.

You're welcome and thank you for watching. Not to brag but most "fitness experts" don't train with true intensity so they don't know many of these concepts. Nor do they really continue their education to seek out the truth. They just believe the garbage posted by companies seeking to make money using websites and magazines and people's ignorance.

Running in place is not quite as good as running but if you did it longer it would give you the same effect. I would walk AND do the mini tramp. Mix it up a bit.

I used to jog and always maintained. Now I have problems with my knee so I bought a mini trampoline and I run in place on it. It feels similar to jogging and my thighs and buttocks are getting developed. Do you think it has the same aerobic benefits? or would you think that walking is better?

BodyPerformanceTV 3 years ago
It's not bad but I don't think it's the best. I prefer walking, jogging, biking because these are a bit more intense and involve complete use (flexation) of the legs whcih means you'll burn more calories because the legs are big muscles. The more often you walk & jog and the longer you do it the more calories you will burn. Also eat 5 less bites at each meal. These things will help you lose weight.

the best aerobic exercise and believe me i lose 50lbs in 4weeks in the stair climbing u can lose over 1000cals in just 40min. a couple of tips when doing it, if u are over weight put ur resistance to 7 and ur crossramp to 6 because then u are breaking fat in all of ur muscle grps in ur legs
suburbanpanther 3 years ago
1000 cals in 40 mins? You serious? Thats sound ridicioulus to me...You walk like 40 minutes and you only lose 200 calories

so how about climbing up & down in a stair for 20min? is it good? do i really have to do that everyday or 3-4x a week is would be ok. what should i do to lose fat and at the same time grow more muscle coz i don't want to lose fat to look thin and skinny. i want to build more muscle on my body but not too much like of those professional body builder. sorry for my english.
TarsieRinBohol 3 years ago
losing weight has nothing to do with aerobic exercise. the calories used are trivial compared to a frikken donut.
step 1. eat less and eat better.
step 2. gain muscle mass to increase your base metabolism.
step 3. enjoy your life.

kommanderlum 3 years ago
This is so wrong, it doesn't matter if you start or stop as long as your workout is intense. Like sprinting for 30 seconds and then walking for another 30 to 60 seconds and then repeating it 5 or a 6 times or more if you can. This builds muscle and burns more calories than consistently jogging for 20 minutes straight. HIIT is the best for burning calories and building muscle.
This guy doesn't know what he's talking about, look at his body, he has muscles but it's covered in fat.

"Aerobics" are when you use the oxidative pathway of energetics. In otherwords, its when you burn oxygen as a source of fuel. He's right about basketball and football. First creatine phosphate will be used to power muscle contractions - then blood sugar - then oxygen. Creatine and blood sugar (glycogen) work extremely well and can replace themselves quick enough in a submaximal sport like basketball, that the athletes rarely are required to use oxygen to power muscle contractions.
KaseyAkira 4 years ago
Its possible to do aerobics with just one muscle - anytime you bench press or curl something 25 or 30 times till failure, that muscle is burning oxygen to keep working. It just doesn't create a massive oxygen debt which makes you breath heavy like running. Finally, aerobics are not really the best way to lose weight, since most of what's burned is blood sugar rather than fat. I would strongly recommend the run-walk method rather than pure cardio.

It depends. I dont have enough information to tell you what you need from what you've said.
KaseyAkira 4 years ago
This means you DO NOT necessarily need something that requires your lower body! (though its still a logical idea.) In other words, if waving your arms around in circles is challenging enough to make you breath harder - to the point where you have difficulty getting enough air - then keep doing that for 20 minutes. According to the laws of adaptation, your aerobic capacity will increase.
KaseyAkira 4 years ago
Ok, now...
The ACTUAL "best", as far as aerobics go, and as far as the scientific laws governing human physiological adaptations, would be 'any repetitive activity or movement which lasts longer than 5 minutes and challenges the aerobic endurance threshold'.

theoneandonlymeyupyu 4 years ago
What about EPOC and the fact that studies have shown that HIIT is more effective than steady state cardio for burning body fat? Take a look at boxers, wrestlers, and sprinters. All of those groups (except for perhaps the heavyweight boxers and wrestlers) are extremely lean. Have you ever tried those activities? I have and I can tell you that jogging isn't even in the same ball park as grappling/wrestling or boxing/kickboxing when it comes to burning calories.

Sailor Moon, volley ball would be good if it was one on one or two on two where you are pretty much always moving, but when playing regular volleyball on a big team, you are mainly going to be standing around for longer periods time, so you won't get as much activity as some of the other activities, like running.
