  • Steady state cardio is great for building up initial cardiovascular and aerobic fitness and obviously heart strength. But yes interval or HIIT style cardio is better than steady state cardio, as it challenges the body to constantly adapt, which in turn means the heart has to adapt too. For fat loss a heart rate of…
  • Steam baths are great for activating the bronchiali in the lungs, helping them to swell and in turn making your lungs better at separating oxygen from carbon dioxide. Alternatively warm lemon water every morning to help your lung walls get thicker and your oxygen processing to be more efficient. I struggled with Asthma for…
  • You should research your body type ie Ectomorph, Endomorph or Mesomorph and then you can find the right type of workouts for your genetic disposition. Body type is a set thing, but can obviously be altered with lots of hard work, but you can't change your genetics just enhance or alter them.
  • You should do actual Martial arts, ive been doing MA for 26yrs and no video or instructional dvd will compare. Simple!
  • Hey there Focus on compound exercises for bulking your biceps, and isolations for actual muscle stamina and toning. Id recommend Arnold curls, preachers, rest pause reps, hanging dumbbell curls, hammer curls and reverse curls for forearms and wrists. For abs avoid lots of sit ups, do leg raises, dragon tails, jumping knee…

But do not drop squats and deadlifting, just adjust weight and for higher rep ranges and more sets.…
  • Clean calories, plenty of water, hiit, rest and determination. You'll smash your next target. You've done very well so far. Ensure you are getting enough fatty acids alongside those carbs and proteins and if you don't already citrus fruits especially the bitter ones (lemons, limes, grapefruit) are great metabolism and…
  • Compound lifting will always be the best way to build true strength and blast the nervous system the best, but it is also true that doing whole body routines with a days rest can also be beneficial. For me I split my muscle groups into specific days and have one or two rest days a week depending on the intensity of that…
  • Interesting subject from the OP and one that I'm sure many people have asked in some form or another. Firstly I'd say well done on dropping so much weight its a great achievement. Secondly to truly get strong you need to build thicker more resilient muscle fibres. Utilising mid range repetitions and between 55-75% of your…
  • Always good to have goals and aspirations to achieve. Have lots of mini goals rather than one big one, as they will be easier to complete, giving you that sense of wellbeing and achievement.
