I don't think there is a difference when it comes to fat loss..do whichever you feel like first. I usually switch them around so I don't get bored

You should check this site out though..and anyone else who is serious about exercise
It's called HIIT - High intensity interval training
http://www.musclemedia.com/training/hiit.asp

I've read good reviews.
It's basically just switching from a regular to high intensity mode back and forth for a certain amount of minutes when doing any cardiovascular activity such as running, biking....instead of keeping at a steady pace.

"In research, HIIT has been shown to burn adipose tissue more effectively than low-intensity exercise—up to 50% more efficiently!3 In other words, HIIT speeds up your metabolism and keeps it revved up for some time after your workout. The bottom line is HIIT training burns a greater number of total calories than low-intensity training, and more calories burned equals more fat lost. What I'm suggesting is you forget about the "calories burned" readout on the stairstepper or Lifecycle; if you practice HIIT training, the majority of calories burned will come after your workout!"

I recently read up on it and will try it out. I don't think it's a scam or anything of the sort

Guys, I just want to know if it's alright to completely get rid of white rice? I've been cutting down my rice intake slowly since last week and right now I don't eat rice at all (I know many of you here don't). Just wondering if there are any nutrients in rice that I need? Or is it just food with loads of carbs?

Out of these three sports: tennis, lacrosse, and track, which one would ideally help you lose weight the fastest?

[smilebig180]

lol does it fill you up though?
i used to eat it a lot, but i got hungry pretty fast.

i would eat it then drink water and it makes me full for like 3 hours!
enough time to eat again

Out of these three sports: tennis, lacrosse, and track, which one would ideally help you lose weight the fastest?

DON'T DO LACROSSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! it'll make your thighs big and bulky! TRUST ME!!!

i suggest track because of the running but then i like tennis better

one of those basically has equal running but tennis gives u arm muscles so yea...
tennis or track

[Juli~<3]

^ yea i agree, i think track is better. tennis will just make you really broad with chunky arms.

and lacrosse is just too violent. =.="

when i was in korea... i took this dance class that lasted for 90 minutes and i would sweat so much, but it took me 15 minutes to walk there and 15 minutes to walk back to my cousin's house... so i actually ended up working out for a total of 120 minutes. i think i lost a little 14 lbs in two weeks. then again korea is hot and humid so i lost my appetite from "duhwee" (?) or something and i ended up drinking water a lot and eating fruit and not much else.

i came back to the states and i think i gained the weight back cuz i don't have time to go to the gym since i'm always at school doing stuff for theater.

i'm 5'7 and i think i weigh like 125 lbs? i'm not sure.. the last time i checked was last year.

ugh i really need to start going to the gym and sticking to a healthier diet

[Juli~<3]

^ you're at a healthy weight for your height. so you really don't need to lose weight.

[x_terr]

does anyone here play rec. soccer? because i'm joining this semester, but ii've only had one year of soccer experience..when i was in grade 3 or something..and i'm a freshman in high school now. is it hard? soccer won't make your legs bulky will it?! because my thighs aer already huge..

[onewithoutlove]

Out of these three sports: tennis, lacrosse, and track, which one would ideally help you lose weight the fastest?

well i highly suggest track because you run a lot and it guaretee you lose weigh. but tennis is good too but since you are holding a racket on one hand only that hand will gain muscles [ my friend plays tennis and yeah i saw her arm i was like O_O ]

[evil_bunnie]

How Does this sound for a diet???

I heard Carbs is bad for you.. like breads..

how about healthy cereals??

like the one i have up there is... soy, flaxseed, cluster cereal. o-o.. has 650mg of omega 3~? yeah..

[BlackTea]

starnotedreamer: The diet sounds fine. Too much carbs is bad for you. I suggest eating whole wheat bread; a healthier variety to the white ones. :/

This thread is so great. <3 But shoot. All these pages to go through for advice. I hope I'm not repeating this question, but how does one tone down their lower body and core? It's winter right now, and well, I'll start on my exercise regime soon. I'd like to be able to lose about ten pounds or so.

personally, i think it's ok as long as you eat other source of carbs like fruits and veggies, ive stopped eating rice at a regular basis since three years ago.. i only eat it once or twice a month at the most =)
