Getting fit Anonymous
Hey /fit/. ITT: Getting lean & mean.

I'm 6'1" and weight around 220 lbs. I've already started jogging for 20 minutes every morning and walking every other night, and I'm going on a mostly vegetarian diet. Thing is, I want to start working out at some time in the future, but not to body build; just so I can get stronger. I want to mainly run faster and increase my endurance in that area. I wonder how long it should talk before i start to see some weight loss? Suggestions? (Inb4 pooper + shit storm etc.)

Workout for two years. Keep a training diary to check on your results.

You'd see weight-loss as soon as you dropped a pound. Which is only a calorie deficit of 3500 calories, which is like, three days.

I'm blabbering, anyway.

If you want to strength train, here is a routine.

You can mix it in on Mon/Wed/Fri and do HIIT at a track Tue/Thur/Sat.

Eat six meals a day, each meal consisting of healthy lean protein/complex carbs/healthy fats.

The six meals+weight training will maximize your metabolism, and the HIIT will get your endurance going. Mixed all together, the fat will melt off.

Badda bop bop bop IM LOVING IT

Sure does. It's best to pick long term goals. Take pictures every 2 months because progress will come slowly and you might end up telling yourself that it does not work.

High-Intensity Interval Training

It'll increase your VO2, increasing your lung capacity.

You can do it with any cardio, but I do it on a track.

You warm up for 2-3 minutes, jogging.

Then you full out sprint for 30 seconds, then jog for 30 seconds, then sprint, jog, sprint etc. etc.

When you first start out, after six minutes you're going to feel like a dead piece of shit. Try to add on minute every week. If you reach fifteen minutes (you won't), you aren't doing it correctly.

This is in balance with long-distance cardio, which for one thing, is HAHAHA FUCKING BORING.

BUT, it is slightly better for fat-burning, but you have the balance in it that it will catabolize muscle.

So it's up to you which type of cardio you want to do.

Before workouts is when you would want to have your carbs, for energy.

Lean Protein: Fish/Turkey/Chicken/Eggs/Jerky

Complex Carbs: Oatmeal/Yams....that's about it. You can use Wheat Bread for sandwiches, but meh.

Healthy Fats: Flax-Seed Oil is the best, but it tastes like Grandma vagina juice. Any type of oil is good actually, Olive, Salmon. You also get healthy fat from most types of Fish, so a piece of salmon takes both of those out in one punch. You can also get Fish-Oil pills.

After workout, making a post-workout shake with Whey Protein+Dextrose+Maltodextrin. Look up calculator online to determine how much of each you need.

Hydration? Water, just drink water. It's boring, who cares. Green tea is great for the metabolism though.

As for serving sizes, close your fist. Look at how big it is, that's a serving size.

Don't forget fruits and veggies for snacks, since the lack of anything good tasting will make you want to nuke Africa.

Don't forget HOT SAUCE
