1. 5 days a week, sometimes twice a day. 2. generally run for about 40-45 minutes, or 4-6 miles. 3. 5.5 MPH is a really good brisk half walk/half jog type deal. But personally, i'll go 7.0 - 7.5 MPH. 4. I do not no, if i had the money i would participate in half marathons. 5. Add incline if you're on a treadmill, or if you…

I burn 690-700 calories on elliptical cardio in 45 minutes, so yea, it's definitely do-able.

Honestly, soda was/has been the easiest thing for me to drop out of my life. I'v gone 6 months without drinking soda, I'd say the hardest part was the first 7-14 days. Then after that, i watch my wife get soda whenever she gets food that isnt home made and i'm totally fine with it. My weekness is sweets, candy.... If…

This is a good read! definitely something that i notice in myself every once in awhile and it really keeps me going. My BIGGEST problem is consuming food AFTER dinner, any suggestions with that!?

I'm sure results will always vary, As long as you add weight lifting to the cardio you will be fine.

I have read studies that show than anything more than 40 minutes of cardio can result is losing muscle mass, so if you do a lot of cardio, lifting is essential! low weight - high rep lifting is my main source of lifting because, like you, i do an AM workout and a PM workout. which always contains at least 60 minutes of…

Thank you :) BUT! there is no such thing as a former marine, once a marine, always a marine. You don't go through 13 weeks of hell to only keep the name while you're in!

Thats actually good to know, thanks for the links.

my hats off to you for your service, it's appreciate. Also - i'll take whatever help i can get. Semper Fi.

Well, it really does depend on what you're trying to accomplish. As far as too much protein, it's not BAD, but it's wasteful. Your body will only absorb roughly 30grams of protein at one time. Generally, anymore then that and it just comes out of your body. For me personally, i should be consuming my body weight in protein…

Oh yes of course, i love being fit, i love sweating and i love being exhausted! i'm fortunate enough to get that runners high, otherwise i'm afraid i'd be in a much bigger world of hurt.

I have had both, and i really enjoyed Dannon Oikos much more than the Chobani. I actually just had a serving of the Oikos vanilla flavor last night right before bed. Why? you ask, because it contains ingredients that are a good alternative to other supplements.

I generally make a note to run on pavement once a week, and that happens every Sat. I haven't ran in grass for awhile, but i generally go 70-100 yard sprints in grass, and i do about 10-12 reps of those. I don't live close to any sand :( but if i did i definitely would.

95% of my workout is in my apartment complex gym. I have learned to make it work, everything else is outside.

I don't have a huge target goal, i need to lose about 15 pounds or so, and it's all fat that needs to go. It also happens to all gather at my tummy. So, it's cardio cardio cardio for me!

I can't stress enough how important it is to SWITCH UP YOUR CARDIO. I'll go by my 5 day workout schedules. One week i'll do elliptical - 45 minutes AM, 20 minutes PM. with a level of 15 resistance, i'll keep my heart rate up to 165-171. Then i'll do treadmill, 7.0 - 7.5 MPH for 40-50 minutes. Then i'll do HIIT (High…

There is an excellent book that really puts the current knowledge of food and calories in it's head. it's called "The Smarter Science Of Slim". i would suggest everyone here google it and at least read reviews or an introductory video to the book.

Now this is a thread you don't normally stumble upon, but i like it!

Hey there Craig, I find that my current protein powder suites my needs well, However, i'm not a picky person really. I can stomach 8oz of of not so great tasting protein powder if that means i can get 23+ grams of protein with light calorie count to follow it. I get EAS 100% whey protein, Vanilla flavored. that contains a…
