hi everyone, if your doing intense cardio for 2hrs. your going to long! I'm an exercise instructor(ACE & AEA Certified) try to incorporate several cardio techniques.(Continuous, interval, circuit)
continuouse being working at the same intensity the whole workout
interval: doing 3-5 mins. and moderate level, then 2-3mins at a higher level
circuit ; doing a set of say tricep exercises (12 reps) then a set of biceps(12 reps) then jog or bike for 1 min. then start the next set of triceps & biceps, etc.
or you can try doing this routine:
for 2-3 weeks do lower intensity for 45-60mins
the next 2-3 weeks higher intensity for 20-30 mins.
next 2-3weeksmodereate intensity
and do weights 2-3 days a week in additon to this cardio.
By working out with such intensity your actually defeating yourself and breaking down your muscle.
I've been in the same place i have Obessive Compulsive Disorder and was literality making my body store the fat. Never drop your calories under 1200, and with exercise you should be even higher. Also after do weight training have some lean protein to help repair your muscles.
You didn't say how old you were and how many calories your eating either.
. Also the alli blocks 25% of the fat so for ex: if you were eating 16g per meal that's only 4gx9calories per gram=36blocked per meal x 3=108calories a day
it take burning 3500 to lose a lb so divide that by the 108 and we're talking 32days to lose a lb.
make sure your taking off at least one day a week, if you feel that you have to exercise everyday only do a causal walk one of those days.
hope this info. helps you some, just try some of these suggestions and give it a month you should see some changes! keep us posted! Good luck!
