			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<blockquote class="blogcontent restore">Hi all, just thought I'd give you all a great exercise bike workout that works well for me.<br />
<br />
A massive obstruction many people come across when working out on an exercise bike is boredom but if you can overcome that, you can burn a titanic amount of calories with this style of workout. <br />
<br />
I use a silent exercise bike but any sturdy piece of kit will do. <br />
<br />
Obviously the reason that many of us purchase an exercise bike is to keep fit and there are great advantages that can be achieved with the following distinctive types of workout.<br />
<br />
For a Full Fat Burning Workout Program - it is important to increase your metabolism so that your body will continue to burn fat even after exercising and one of the finest ways to shake off weight is to bring together an exercise bike workout with some form of weight training such as a low intensity cardio workout which makes an exercise bike workout remarkable for burning fat. As I'm sure you already know muscle burns more calories than fat, so the more muscle you have, the more fat you will burn naturally and the best way to increase your metabolism is to convert fat to muscle.<br />
<br />
An exceptional method of increasing your fitness levels and burning fat at the same time is to exercise for 20 to 30 minutes at around 65 percent of your maximum heart rate, this is especially good for beginners. <br />
<br />
Exercising for 30 minutes at 65 percent of your maximum heart rate burns approximately 300 calories which is reported to be the point you need to achieve to not only burn fat but keep it off! Use a simple heart rate chart to calculate your optimum range and set your exercise bike intensity level so that your heart beats per minute stay within the given range.<br />
<br />
If you haven’t yet achieved a level of fitness to be able to maintain your 65 percent heart rate threshold, ride at a lower percentage but for longer. To gauge this, working out at 50 percent of your maximum heart rate will require you to train for 45 minutes to get the full benefit of this workout.<br />
<br />
Fat Burning Cardio Exercise Bike Interval Workout<br />
In order to swell you metabolism for hours after finishing you workouts then follow this super fat burning cardio exercise workout.<br />
<br />
For this workout I use a Schwinn exercise bike but if you don't have one yet and are thinking of buying one then check out some <a href="http://www.exercisebikereviewsinfo.net" target="_blank">exercise bike reviews</a>.<br />
<br />
For this exercise a good warm up is required as you will be working your muscles hard, I recommend about 5 minutes. Once warmed up sprint hard for 30 seconds and then use the next 20 seconds for recovery. Repeat this cycle for 4 or 5 minutes .<br />
<br />
This fat burning cardio exercise bike interval workout will make it easier for you to burn fat way after you stop exercising, this workout is great for me and followed repeatedly I've seen a massive rise in my metabolism, fitness and weight loss.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<blockquote class="blogcontent restore">Today is the day.  I've decided that I would try something new during my weight cut.  No suppliments!!!!!!  NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!  How am I to get along without my preworkout dose of Jack3d?  From three scoops to zero.  Black coffee, no sugar.......  GROSS....  No protein powder, instead cans of tuna.  At this point I don't really have a long term target weight, all I know is that I'm weighting between 325 and 330.  I tried the body fat % machine at the gym and it put me at about 30% body fat.... I know what your thinking ladies.... DEAD SEXXXY but I'm married so hands off.  I normally eat pretty healthy, but like most normal guys I love to lift weights but I don't care much for cardio, so I look like a powerlifter.  I need to increase my cardio and switch my workouts to low weight/high reps.  I'm a busy person with a one year old son so I don't have time to measure out my food so I will keep it simple.  This morning for breakfast I had 4 eggs/2 yolks, a slice of sandwich ham, a slice of cheddar cheese and a slice of whole wheat toast, 2 cups of coffee with sugar and milk.  I need to get a sugar substitute.</blockquote>
