I cut a lot of weight doing this. I used the handlebars so I could sprint with more intensity. I found a resistance level where sustaining 100rpm was my absolute maximum effort. Then, the rest is easy. I sprinted at 85-90% for 20 seconds, and jogged for 40 seconds. Rinse and repeat. 20 mins.
So, the next question is...how do you gauge what your sprint and jog levels are?
in it like roti or rice
everyone's goning to have different numbers. it boils down to what your individual max effort, and how long you can sustain that. figure outyour max effort that you can put in for 20-30 seconds a reference. you should be at a high resistance level, but your speed should definitely be a sprint. now, if that's your 100% effort, you should be doing around 85-95% of that as your "work" interval, and a light jog speed for your"rest" interval. of course, this will change as your body get conditioned, but you should be able to gauge your effort without looking at thenumbers on a machine at this point. when you feel like you're not hitting that 85-95% effort, increase your speed or resistance.

Looks good Audi, one thing I just want to mention is that I do the same thing Audi does with bringing food in a plastic tray. But to be on the safe side I urge people to make sure their trays are Food-Grade and don't contain BPA which is harmful and can be leeched into foods. BPA gets into foods when you place the food in the tray when its very hot which melts some of the plastic and it could end up in your food, so you gotta be careful with the Illuminati's clever tricks to kill us when we're trying to get healthy
I was asking more about the sections. Putting all your food into one big pile gets them soggy and nasty. It probably doesn't make much of adifference, but I work across the street from a Taco Bell and a Burger King, so anything that would help me fight that temptation works.Originally Posted by Durden7

Honest question:
Do you really think the tupperware is that big of a deal?
I understand the point of using bio-safe watter bottles, tupperware, canisters, etc. but the danger in them is minimal. I just think theres much bigger fish to fry than having the safest water bottle.
Yeah I understand you were asking about the actual container and its sections. It is a handy and great tupperware for that. I was actuallydirecting my question to Grimlock.Originally Posted by ItsGettinHot

I pyramid up on exercise, majority of them. It gives me the feel of "progression" every week. And you are right, its way better thandoing the same constant weight..
they're fine on the treadmill, as long as you adjust your stride to land or the ball of your foot or midfoot with more of a bend in your kneeinstead of a typical heelstrike. i'm a sprinter and i stay away from long distance running, but for the hell of it one time i was too lazy to drive to thegym so i jumped on the treadmill at home, warmed up, and then ran with these on at the highest speed with a slight incline in long intervals with no problemsor fatigue (i think it was something like 6 miles in 45 minutes, not counting a few breaks). it definitely helps if you have strong calf muscles (soleus andgastrocnemius) because those muscles till absorb most of the shock, instead of your heel and anterior tibialis (shin muscle).Originally Posted by Klipschorn

How are they for running on the treadmill?
if you need any more motivation, it helps if you read up a little on nutrition and the effects of bad dietary habits. if you're consistentand you get your optimal levels of nutrients, you should feel a lot better for sure, and that is usually enough to stick with it.

What do you mean by heelstrike? Could you elaborate? I usually do HIIT on asphalt/concrete with my Free 5.0's and would love to minimize anyrisk/harm if any. Thanks.
