About 40/30/30 and the caloric range of each meal is around 400 to 500 and the snacks are around 100 to 250.

So yea looks like around 1800-2200

So you gonna try it out?

Phate89 · Mar. 19/08, 04:04 PM

I will certainly read over the ab exercises and follow the challenge, but no i wont be following this exact. I have my own diet and my own workout days and running days, though i am also trying to lower bf and get the abs thicker and more defined by summer time, so i will continue to follow along and see if i can learn anything new and include it into my own program.

And I suppose if you asked 5 ' non-trainer ' forum members the same question, you may get 14+ answers....so I guess it's all relative.

True enough.

Day 9: Cardio: 30 min. on treadmill at low intensity jog in the morning on an empty stomach

Day 11: Cardio: 30 min. on stair stepper at low intensity in the morning on an empty stomach

Day 13: Cardio: 8 sets of 100 jump ropes

Day 15: Cardio: Hitting the punching bag for 5 rounds of 3 min each. Using 12oz to 16oz gloves. Keep a steady pace of combos and foot work.

For the benefit of those who may wish to follow your plan...

- What do you mean by " low intensity " exactly - i.e. is there a specific % MHR they should try to stay within ?

- Day 13 & Day 15 : If members aren't adept at jumping rope and or don't have access to a punching bag, 12oz to 16oz gloves...are there substitute routines they can use ?

They should try to stay in between 65%-90% of their maximum heart rate. Depending on the individuals fitness level that percentage may vary.

For days 13 and 15 you can jump rope without the rope (shadow jump roping). If you do not have access to a punching bag or gloves then you should shadow box as well. Work foot work and shadow box infront of a mirror if possible.
Also holding 1-2lb weights in your hands for the shadow jump rope and the shadow box will be more beneficial if you do not have access to a jump rope, heavy bag, or gloves.

Actually, my question was " What do you mean by " low intensity " exactly "

Are you saying 80% - 90% MHR is considered....." low intensity " ????

Then what % MHR range would you consider as..... ' moderate intensity' ?

Better yet, what % MHR range would you consider as...... ' high intensity' ?

Fair enough

for low I would say 65%-73%

for moderate I would say 74% to 82%

for high I would say 83% to 90%

O.k ...so when you say...

" Cardio: 30 min. of elyptical at low intensity in the morning on an empty stomach "

...you're thinking " low intensity " is somewhere around 65%-73% MHR.

Fair enough.
