If you’re a hard-gainer, you’re going to make gaining muscle a heck of lot harder again if you’re chewing up the extra calories you need for growth with 2-3 hour cardio sessions. Brief, explosive forms of cardio will not just permit muscular gain, they will quite likely enhance it (see legs of speed skaters and top track cycling sprinters for convincing visual evidence of this phenomenon).Dr. Cadieuxhttp://drcadieuxlangevin.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1704170106558126102.post-76097215307998104382012-08-09T12:48:08.112-04:002012-08-09T12:48:08.112-04:00HIIT is awesome. if i'm just at home i'll ...HIIT is awesome. if i'm just at home i'll do high knees for the movement, where you just run in place but make sure you get your knees up as high as you can and also swing your arms as if running as fast as you can. <br /><br />this can be a good exercise for doing a tabata interval if you don't have a lot of room. there are interval timers too on youtube that you can use if you are in front of a computer at home, that will play tones between interval timesmike @ eefhttp://www.exerciseequipmentfanatic.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1704170106558126102.post-31401960966885873662012-01-25T09:09:32.545-05:002012-01-25T09:09:32.545-05:00Tabata is the fastest way to lose weight.

Choosing to do something that makes you consider how relaxing removing your skin with a cheese grater doesn't strike me as a joyful experience, but I'm gonna do it anyway. Definitely gonna check both articles for suggestions of what to do, then I'll cuss you out in the most creative way possible while I fantasize how wonderful it would be to just have my face blown off by a shotgun afterward and them proceed to post a blog entry about it when I'm able to move, breathe and think again. <br />Thanks, Crabby.
