So what is your definition of vigorous weight session? heavy weight? when you cant move your arms?

ok... just a question... What would you consider as a vigorous weight lifting session?

I actually have a muddy trail 10k in 10 days and another 10k in May. So I may need some preparation.

Because I like it and I dont have the time to do weight lifting now.

I am used to do 60 sets. Each set has 15 reps. I am trying to dispatch that through all my muscle: biceps, triceps, back, forehand and shoulder. should i consider this as vigorous or general weight lifting?

unfortunately I dont have the time to do strength training, it's taking too long to work out each muscle individually. I will stick to this new training program and if I keep losing weight, I will add more food to my diet.

I think weight lifting takes really a long time because you have to work out each muscle individually.... While rowing, you work out many muscle (biceps, shoulder, back and legs) in one stroke. I dont have the time to do weight lifting anymore (work and family)..... This is the reason, I was looking for an aerobic sport…

My goal is to maintain my weight. Here is my diet: Breakfast: two toasts with peanut butter, one coffee (with sugar and milk), one tea (with sugar and milk) Lunch: one baguette/wrap with chicken/tuna or eggs + some lettuce + dressing (Caesar salad, mayo or coronation) + diet coke + one coffee (with sugar and milk) + a…

My goal is to maintain my weight and become an endurance cardio athlete. I really like cardio (cycling, rowing, running). Here is my diet, what do you think of it? Breakfast: two toasts with peanut butter, one coffee (with sugar and milk), one tea (with sugar and milk) Lunch: one baguette/wrap with chicken/tuna or eggs +…

I believe it's quite intense... For the step, I walk 240 floors in 30 minutes. I run at 6.5 mph with 3.5 incline. I row almost 13k per hour. And I cycle almost 9km for 30 minutes. Do you think it's intense enough?

My goal is to maintain my weight and become an endurance cardio athelte. I really enjoy cardiovascular exercises.....

And with this training program and if I keep losing weight, I will reduce the sport so that I will have more time to do other stuff (reading books, watching movies...).

I totally agree with you. If you dont enjoy your workout, there is not point of training and you will loose motivation. I really like cardio and I think I will enjoy these 5 sessions of cardio per week. For my diet, I have just been to the gym and I lost weight again this week.... I think I am going to increase the food. I…

Thanks for your reply. I dont plan to change my training program because I think I will take pleasure to do it. Dont forget I am not professional, so I have to enjoy my workout... So I may have to eat a bit more. what do you think of my diet? Breakfast: two toasts with peanut butter, one coffee (with sugar and milk), one…

Training for 15 hours a week isn't over training?

This morning I realized how little was 100ml of milk. So I think I must be around 1800-2000 kcal.

I cant really swim, that's why I replace swim with rowing so that I can workout my upper body. I have seen some training programs for triathlete and they train 5-6 hours a week. They are not professional though.

Jamal is a male arrabice name.

Thanks for your response. Yes I really like cardio (running, cycling, stepping and rowing), I dont have the passion for weight lifting anymore.... I am used to do weight lifting but I prefer to do rowing to work out my upper body. What is your training program? How many rest days do you take per week? I feel a bit guilty…

Thanks for your response. Yep my aim is to be a cardio endurance athlete. Honestly, when I dont do cardio, I dont have the feeling to exercise (probably because there is a lot of breaks). Are you saying my program is not balanced? I know some people, they run 5 times a week and do only that. I believe there is enough…

Hi bc2ct, What do you think of my training program? My goal is to be a completed athlete, a bit like a triathlete. Do you think there is enough diversity? Do you think I will overtrain? People say there is too much cardio in this program. What do you think?

You are saying I am doing too much cardio but what do you think of people who cycle every day to commute to work? Dont they do too much cardio too? What about people who train for an Ironman or Triathlon? I am sure they do over 10 hours (swimming, running and cycling) of cardio per week.

What do you think of this training program? Basically replace rowing with light weight lifting? Monday: Run (50 minutes), Cycles (30 minutes), Stepper (15 minutes) Tuesday: Light weight lifting (1h30) Wednesday: Rest day Thursday: Run (50 minutes), Elliptical machine (30 minutes), Stepper (15 minutes) Friday: Light weight…

Well if you dont enjoy drinking with your flatmates time to time, what is the point of living....? Stop restricting yourself, and dont forget we have only one life

Dont forget I have some binge drinking (once a week), this can compensate the fact I dont eat enough, no?

For the diet, I am used to eat a bit more: I am used to eat more carbs in the evening. But my flatmate made rude comments about my diet. And since then, I eat less in the evening. It's never nice to hear unpleasant comment about your diet, especially when you are used to be overweight. For the training program, what do you…

What do you mean? Are you saying I dont eat enough or do too much exercises? I forgot to mention I am used to be overweight/obese and I really suffer from that.... This is probably the reason why I am so cautious about nutrition and fitness.

I think, it's approxiamtely 1380kcal. You also have to consider that I have some binge drinking with my flatmates (let's say once a week). Breakfast: two toasts with peanut butter (200kcal), one coffee (with sugar and milk): 40 kcal, one tea (with sugar and milk): 40 kcal Lunch: one baguette/wrap with chicken/tuna or eggs…

Regarding my diet. Here is my typical diet Breakfast: two toasts with peanut butter, one coffee (with sugar and milk), one tea (with sugar and milk) Lunch: one baguette/wrap with chicken/tuna or eggs + some lettuce + dressing (Caesar salad, mayo or coronation) + diet coke + one coffee (with sugar and milk) + a treat (one…
