<p>Did a workout about an hour ago, which included push ups, so chest probably still a bit pumped...</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Workout consisted of Box jumps, push ups, ez bar curls, seated rows, mountain climbers x 5</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Finished with a 400m run on the treadmill at speed 15 (almost tops speed) on incline 4; that was a killer way to finish! </p> -

<p>I'm anti running because I'm really shit at it and my back is fooked. Injuries aside though I'd rate it as the no.1 exercise for losing weight.</p>

<p>Yes for losing "weight" but some of that will be muscle. That's why most runners look like telephone poles.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>High intensity interval training I reckon is best for losing fat an keeping muscle. Short bouts of extremely high effort. That 400m run is pretty good for that but probably at the longer end of what you should be doing.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Think sprinter vs long distance runner. Know which one I'd rather look like!</p> -
<p>well I can tell you I have no intention of getting to my 'normal' BMI, which is when I'd be looking emaciated!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I just wanna lose a bit of the insulation round my middle, which I expect the high intensity stuff I am doing, 'should' go some way to achieving</p>
<p>As I said above, I especially like trail running, but not fussed on road running, treadmill is in the middle I guess, but easier due to its accessibility.</p> -
Yeah - I'm not necessarily talking about long distance running, just running to shed a few kg. Just a theory but I reckon if you did high intensity intervals on treadmill vs HI on a bike for same time you would burn more calories on the mill. Maybe doing burpees for same time would even better but I wouldn't wish that on anyone!

<p>I tried a few burpees onto the box too, I decided they suck!</p>

<p> </p>
<p>Havent managed much exercise, although go walking at lunch time in the near 100% humidity, although I had the day off on Monday I did lawnmowing, digging holes and then a run on the treadmill in 30degrees of 100% humidity just melted some weight off me, weighed 94.2kg before dinner that day!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>BUt for me, I think it has more been about what I am eating, and I have been cutting back on portion sizes, and some days I am freakin starving, others, am sweet.</p> -
<p>Tabata style workout yesterday with push ups, box jumps, mountain climbers and sprints (plus mowed half lawns with push mower) then had to put up the kids pool to cool down, luckily got a heavy downpour straight after which replenished about half the water I used :)</p>
<p> </p>
<p>THis morning the neighbour and I did a 23km ride out to a nearby (well 23km) lake for a morning swim, water was so warm even at 0945!! Wives arrived with the kids for thier swim so we didnt have to ride home :)</p> -
