Fat burning workout Anonymous
Hey /fit/, I'm working on putting together a new fat burning workout.

Warm up - 5 min bike, steady pace
HIIT - Treadmill 1 min sprint, 1 min walk, repeat for 12 mins
Then the cardio trainer at a steady/fast pace for 30 mins
Then cool down - same as warm up

Am I doing it right?

Add in weightlifting into your routine, if you're doing HIIT "properly" according to the fags on this board, you wont be able to do another 30 mins on cardio trainer.

>1 min sprint

LOL id love to see you "sprint" for a full minute. Im going to assume you mean youll run at around 70-80% for that time.

Fast movement with lots of reps and sets?

So how long would you suggest? 30 sec sprint and 30 sec fast walk?

If you're cutting you arent going to build much muscle. The idea is that you will burn through your glycogen stores from weightlifting, also dont quote me on this but you can build some strength if you are on a decent high protein diet.

For true sprinting it shouldnt be more than 25-30 seconds. Then do the minute walk between to recoup. If you do any harder than that youll hurt yourself. I personally find a track and sprint the straights and walk the curves.

I plan on doing this routine as soon as I wake up - won't my glycogen stores already be low?

You still have an amount stored from the previous day.
