  • Chiming in for answers also...I started eating about 1600 calories a day about 6 weeks ago and concentrating on lifting and HIIT 3x/week, with usually 1 Pilates class and 2 days of running for fun...I see a noticeable (good) difference in my arms and legs, but it seems like my stomach has gotten rounder! So frustrating!…

  • So if I don't belong to a gym and can't do any of the fancy lifting, should I not even bother?

  • Thanks! Good to get an idea of how many reps I should be doing. These are the selecttech dumbells, not a machine

  • I put on a belt I haven't worn in a while today and had to put it on the smallest hole! This is the first time I've ever really recognized an NSV so I was soooo excited!

  • I'm 5'5", 119 lbs and my calories are set at 1490 (my BMR with my normal rest day activity level) and then on days I work out (3-4 days/week lifting and about 20 minutes HIIT) I eat back 1/2 my exercise calories. Only half because I don't measure all of my food and I also don't have a HRM, and I know the calorie counts on…

  • I definitely do enjoy cardio but it's hard to enjoy it sometimes after a long day at work, an hour on the subway, 20 minute walk to the gym, etc :D I've done some interval training (on the treadmill and elliptical) but I'm not sure if was necessarily high intensity. I'll definitely look into that some more to cut some time…
    in How Important is Cardio? Comment by sarzee2 April 2013
  • Thanks for the replies! My reason for wanting to cut down is literally just time...on days when I do abs, arms and cardio for example, I'm not home until 9 PM and I just don't know how much longer I can maintain a schedule like that. I don't do anything complicated with lifting, but I've been working up my strength a LOT,…

  • Thanks so much for responding! I calculated TDEE based on a day he would work out (probably 4 days a week). So he shouldn't eat back exercise calories right? I never calculate exercise in my own TDEE just because I'm never 100% sure if I'm going to make it to the gym or not. So on days I do work out I usually eat back only…
