Who does cardio year round? - UK-Muscle Body Building Community

pauly7582 · 30-08-2007, 04:31 PM

I'm going to maintain more cardio during mass building this time round.

What do you guys do?

Cardio just when dieting?
Cardio year round always AM empty stomach.
Cardio year round AM after meal 1.
Cardio year round after weights.

Depends what you call cardio.

I walk the dog about 14 miles total in a week and play badmington twice a week. 1 hour a shot. (yes yes , i know its a girly game lol)

Only do specific cardio when im dieting tho.

I usually do more cardio than weights .... but then i have no mass, to speak of, to maintain

richiecoops · 30-08-2007, 06:15 PM

Tend to do lots of early AM cardio (swimming/cycling). Helps to wake me up and it gets it out of the way so I can spend the rest of the day eating, before weights workout in the PM!

I unfortunatly do 1hr cardio 3x a wk either rowing/x trainer/ bike before 7am or a bikeride in the country.
Play ice hockey 2-3 times a wk for 11 out of 12 months of the yr for a min of 1hr a session.
I go running twice a wk at night after 9pm for half hr.

i do around 7 dance classes a week (1hr each) and i run/jog for 1/2 hour a day and do a half hour walk every day too (school run- and we're always late, so its fast walking) also go on x trainer or treadmill for about 30 mins 2 or 3 times a week, usually after weights. oh and choreography uses a fair bit of energy too, thats about an hour a week on average.

i do treadmill all year round the only thing that changes is the frequency and length of time

chem · 30-08-2007, 09:55 PM

chem · 31-08-2007, 07:14 AM

mickus · 31-08-2007, 08:26 AM

I go for a 45min walk after din or before din with the girl each evening if weather permits..

paulo · 31-08-2007, 09:24 AM

walking all year round-outside,its great to keep leanish want to lose fat,just increase length and frequency-also good for clearing your head

brasco · 31-08-2007, 12:25 PM

im trying this i usually just do it when dieting, bulking a bit now but got another hol comming up so do some cardio on the bike after weights 4 times a week seems to be workin!

AussieMarc · 04-09-2007, 06:10 AM

3 times a week with clients (for 30 mins), cross-country bike ride on a saturday (rain, hail or shine), rock climbing or golf on sunday (not that golf is cardio - as we even hire buggies :P).. or during summer go to the beach to surf on sunday instead..

i know i do too much cardio but i won't stop riding, surfing or climbing anytime soon.

Old Man GABA · 04-09-2007, 08:23 AM

I do Xtrainer for 40-50mins from 6am mon - friday only, have to justify the cost of buying the thing to the wife, so have to use it. doh!
dose help me wake up though.
