-
Run on the Tredmill whenever you have the chance, if not pound the streets!
-

Hmm....Have you tried Cycling? My dad lost a shed-load by Cycling!
-
Yeah I have, I go to gym and do weight training and dabble on and off on supps
-
If you go gym just get a personal trainer to give you a routine to build the muscles you use in cricket and have some cardio: bike treadmill ect. and go often. That's what I do.
-
Yeah I also play rugby and football so need it all to fit round them :L In theory I should be fairly fit but I just eat so much **** food
-
no point in just pounding the street if weight loss is after you need to get in fat burning mode with a heart rate monitor.
for cricket fitness/football fartlek training is advisable
-
What is fat burning mode?
-
heart rate within a certain limit bud type in fat burning and it will tell you bud it is a different pace depends on your weight and age.
it about 60-70 per cent of maximum
-
Oh the training zone thing, the area you should be working at for your heart rate lark :)
-
i work hard on both fartlek and fat burning it seems to work that and the bin liner approch
-
Your max heart rate is 220-your age so if your 20 your max heart rate is 200 so 60-80% of your heart rate would be 120-160... most good treadmills and bikes ect have monitors.....
-
TBH I wouldn't say Fartlek is very useful for cricket, I'd say interval.
-
fartlek does it for me a good 5 mile effort but i have no choice in doing it interval what is leo????
only do as i told mate
-
Interval is basically starting and stopping, then starting and stopping again. Much like in cricket. You'll stand there doing nothing for 10 minutes then sprint after a ball.
Whatever works for the individual is right tho i guess
-
i hate circuits mate bloody hurt like hell
-
doesnt that mean its working though?^^ :L
the idea behind fat burniong mode is that fat needs more oxygen to be broken down and turned into energy therefor you have to work at a lower intensity than you would normally for exercise.
if you want to shed weight i would say do HIIT, eg do a 10 second sprint then 20 second walk, then sprint again. it will burn off your stored carbs then start working on the fat reserves.
-
All I'm going to say is Tabata Protocol...

ah the bloody ski tourer thing hate that machine

The cross trainer!! I know that horrible!! Your pelting along at a real high level for 10 mins and you've only gone like half a mile!! lol
-
Swimming is one of the best cardiovascular exercises going, uses many more different muscles to just running, good for full body conditioning
-

Yep it kills but you know your getting results. Hurts having a circuit training session, then a bleep test and then nets in the same day though!

Got a job but yeah i know what you mean. If it was less painful then i would agree!

Include some skipping, it is great cardio. Gets the heart racing and lower impact on the joints than running.
