just do one hard set of each exercise and eat a low-fat diet. thats all that's needed. fugget these misguided idiots
I remember this guy from my days of reading Muscle & Fitness over 20 years ago. As I recall, he's a lawyer, so it only follows that his column should be called "Ripped."
A video on burst training to complement a resistance routine: <div style='text-align:center'> <object width='560' height='450' id='FiveminPlayer' classid='clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000'> <param name='allowfullscreen' value='true'/> <param name='allowScriptAccess' value='always'/> <param name='movie' value='http://embed.5min.com/230768955/'/> <param name='wmode' value='window' /> <embed name='FiveminPlayer' src='http://embed.5min.com/230768955/' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' width='560' height='450' allowfullscreen='true' allowScriptAccess='always' wmode='window'> </embed> </object> <br/><a href='http://www.5min.com/Video/How-to-do-Burst-Training-230768955' style='font-family: Verdana;font-size: 10px;' target='_blank'>How to do Burst Training</a> </div> It goes without saying that any intense exercise regimen should only be undertaken with your physician's approval.
f^ck burst training... f^ck tabata sedentary 45+ yr olds should NOT train balls all out! thats recipe for cardiac arrest. pace yourself..safely. what's the hurry as long as your exercising and eating a low fat plant diet
I don't think anyone suggested going from sedentary middle age to all out intensity at the drop of a hat. I certainly didn't.
A bit more to it than that. How fast your furnace is burning has a lot to do with it. I saw you say if you had some more muscle you burn more. Very true. Also you want to eat many small meals a day. It's a bit counter-intuitive, but if that furnace is going 24/7 you will cut very fast. So people may eat the same calories but have very different results. I eat donuts, so I only talk a good game here. Believe it or not, someone who eats 6 small meals a day, will get ripped much faster than someone starving themselves with water diets.
why should anyone take risk going 'all out" other than an athlete in competition? do you recommend going all in your net worth on any stock? why risk blowing out your heart?
