I used to do a lo to f martial arts and gym together but never lose weight because i cant stop eating
My saving grace is I enjoy jerk chicken and I can eat it almost every day which is what I’m doing right now. Lol
In terms of weight loss, my go to recipe that works for most people: 30-50 minutes at 80% of your heart rate (basketball, boxing, 15% incline on a treadmill) 3-5x per week, limiting cheat meals to one meal a week (can't outrun bad food choices) and incorporating three days of lifting (muscle burns fat) and most people are where they want to be in a couple months. If you get to 90% of BPM you are burning glycogen and it will make you hungry, 75-85% of heart rate is sweet spot for burning fat. Also upping protein intake to 0.8g per pound is key to preserve muscle mass as you are leaning out.
Some other hacks: keep it simple with food choices in the beginning. If you can eat a pound of lean meat everyday, a morning meal of something like greek yoghurt or 4 eggs in the morning, one cheat meal a week and drink a gallon of water everyday you're on the right track. You can also have a desert everyday to make it more sustainable. You got it under control, but just giving some keys that have worked for a lot of people in my circle when they asked me.
Okay, I commented before watching, which was dumb. After watching, what you're saying makes perfect sense. Whatever you can do consistently and enjoy is the best way to lose weight. I counted calories and lost 2 lbs a week even without exercise. But once that same amount of calories resulted in less than a pound lost per week, I decided on weight training three days a week and cardio the other three days, with Sunday off. What I learned is that cardio isn't great for weight loss because it's hard to accurately predict how many calories you've actually burned in a workout (it's usually less than you think.) And muscle weighs more than fat, which increases your metabolism, so strength training is actually better in the long run. But whatever works for you, works for you, and that's what you should do. Congrats on the weight you have lost.
Thank you. Yea. This is really about weight loss and which is the best bang for your buck. I have a chest monitor hooked up to a screen and it adjusts as my cardio improves. They have color zones and my trainer watch to make sure we are in the red often enough which is when we are working at 90% or above. Basically at 100%. You are at your max and you are not pushed beyond that. $150 vs $600 a month.
My sister in law started boxercise which I presume is boxing without the actual contact, she loves it. I'd love to do some sort of martial art but I'm usually too tired from doing heavy physical work.
If you enjoy boxing. Check out an anime called Hajime no Ippo. It's an awesome sports anime about boxing.
Yeah that’s been on my comments every day since Baki 😂😂. Along with that fighting one that he’s about to Collab with lol
Yeah, I think most combat sports and/or martial arts are better than personal training. But it also depends on what you're trying to get out of it and how much you want to commit to training.
Good cardio and a defined body. That being said I will return to weight training twice a week once I reach my weight goal of 200 pounds
