Weight Training For Beginners

[STIFLR]

I'd say a heart rate of 160 or above is too high for fat loss, that rate would be improving your cardio fitness instead of burning fat. Around 140 would be better for fat loss.

[Wingnut]

Ah ok awesome!! Ye I read somewhere that 65% of your max heart rate is about where you want to be which would equate to about 140 for me. I just feel I'm being lazy around that area lol

[STIFLR]

Ha you're not being lazy, at least your doing something!

Maybe try some HIIT (high intensity interval training) that will bring at heart rate up to right fat burning levels and you won't feel lazy doing it.. Bloody tough sh*t!!

Not always a good thing having the gym to yourself.

Couldn't quite get 'er done today. Haha. I'm all good though.

Awkward moment when you fart lifting a weight..

sh*t moment when you have to cut a workout short due to stabbing stomach pains

[MX Dave]

I hate Having to cut short when gym closes:/

Okay Diet *beep* out there: what do you reckon of coconut oil? I've been told its got a lot of fat content but all good fats! Plus makes healthy boring sh*t taste better...

Opinions?

training is 1/3 motivation 1/3 nutrition and 1/3 what you actually do. balance is the key.crossfit style training is the best by far. get your body alkaline. and run

Now is the time of year when you see the gym wannabies start training for summer, motivation is dedication as a regualar gym junkie-me.

[MX Dave]
