    in HIIT & Strength training do I need a rest day in between? Comment by WTramontana July 2014
  • Thank you for mentioning this; I've been getting into a cardio routine over the past 40 days. I am excited that I am enjoying it and of course want to make sure I maximize the potential for results in the mirror :laugh: . I have been doing HIIT and noticing that the body fat is decreasing (and so is the weight), but then I…

  • I highly recommend using a Polar H7 HRM (with bluetooth), $53 at Bestbuy as of a couple of months ago ... I use mine with an app that's available on both Android and iOS devices called iCardio. The app is 'free' however you'll need to shell out $2-3 to 'enable sensors' which will let the heart rate monitor sensor connect.…

  • Check out ExRx.net for a wealth of information, you can find many exercises specific to dumbbells only for working your Chest, Triceps, Biceps (in your arm, not the Biceps in the legs), etc. Through trial and error, find a weight that allows you to complete 7-10 reps of an exercise that you choose. Don't be too concerned…
