ok i didnt' read shit here so flame me if i repeat you

The way to lose weight is HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training).

Basically as the name states.. you can do it running, biking, swimming, back flipping, ect. Just do a normal 2-4 minute warmup then 30 seconds 60% max speed 30 seconds 90% 30 60% 30 90% ect. Usually starting you want to do about 8 sets of that with a 2-4 minute cool down.. eventually try to work up to 15 sets of 60/90% with a final 1-2 minute 100% all out until you puke sprint.

As for the building and all that stuff just goto www.johnstonefitness.com his story is wonderful and you can learn ALOT from it. From diet to bulking up he explains it all and the forum is full of helpful people.

Or you can aim me or pm me here i can share some other helpful tips if you want my aim is Baget2

good luck and keep pushing!

In general, cycling is not as efficient at burning calories as running. Running 30 minutes usually gives you the same workout as cycling for an hour or more. It's easier on the knees, but the lack resistance makes it harder to push yourself. The upshot of all this is that you have to ride long distances to achieve the same workout. Usually a good workout for road cyclists is 25-30 or more miles averaging about 20 miles an hour. A good workout for mountain bikes is about 17-25 miles over three hours on a relatively flat trail, 6 miles or less if the trail involves a huge climb. I've heard from some other mtn bikers that you can easily burn 1500 calories an hour or more climbing.

Here is some info on that...

Yes, but you have to look at the calories burnt per minute figures, since biking 1 mile is much faster than swimming it.

Here is another table with per minute data :

Bicycling :
13 miles per hour--.045 calories/pound/minute
15 miles per hour--.049 calories/pound/minute
17 miles per hour--.057 calories/pound/minute
19 miles per hour--.076 calories/pound/minute

Running :
5 miles per hour--.061 calories/pound/minute
6 miles per hour--.074 calories/pound/minute
10 miles per hour--.114 calories/pound/minute

Swimming
20 yards/minute--.032 calories/pound/minute
45 yards/minute--.058 calories/pound/minute
50 yards/minute--.070 calories/pound/minute

Swimming on average burns 2.9 calories/mile/pound.
Running burns 0.7 calories/mile/pound.
Cycling burns 0.3 calories/mile/pound.

I'm jogging 3 times a week (2miles) and lifting every other day (3x5 on bench and curls for now, heavy weight.)

^^ :werd: I'm only 5'7" and 148 lbs. I do a lot of swimming and play basketball. Cardio is a real good way to get yourself toned. Get that ticker pumping

As for foods, I don't know I just eat anything and EVERYTHING that's good, I'm probably not the best person to offer advice on nutrition.

And congrats on the weight loss man. You're doing it the right way by exercising and losing the weight over a period of time and not trying to lose it all at once. :thumbup:

I wouldn't recommend it, but if you look up DNP on any of the steroids sites you'll find all the info you need.
