How Much Cardio during Prep ?

[maxxmuscle]

How much Cardio are you guys doing.Right now im 4.5 weeks out and doing 2 x 60 min sessions of Low Intensity Treadmill ( HR @ 100 - 110 ) every day...

Sometimes i think its too much.....

[Scoobysnacks]

I worked up to that much around 3 weeks out from my last prep. I start my prep usually at 30/30, but I like to keep food high, carbs high to moderate and just do more work to get lean. This helps my ecto frame keep more muscle, if I lower carbs and cals to much I look like crap.

Everyone is different though.

i am currently 9 weeks out and i am doing 1.5 hours

it sure is boring as fuck !

I bought myself a portable dvd player so I can watch entire series until the show :D

I am doing one hour as of now, I'll up it to 2 hours monday at 8 weeks out.

than, that's crazy as fuck but I might do 3 hours for the last 4 weeks.:eek:

I am going for a certain look that I never achieved so I am going all out this time around, I am prefer doing more cardio than cutting food

[HeavyDutyGuy]

I did 2 hours last year on non training days and 45 min on training days. I am currently doing 45 min on off days (3 days), have been for the last several weeks, but I'm 15 weeks out. Will adjust as needed as I go.

[maxxmuscle]

So some of you guys are doing around the same as me....

I started at 2 x 30 mins and increased from there.Been doing the 2 x 60 mins the last 2 weeks.Started around 215....203 Now.Looking at coming in around 196.

Stavios....Yeah,its boring as hell.I bought an Archos 7 and have been watching approx 1 movie per day ! iPod is also a saviour !

40 minutes straight out of bed in the morning. Then another 30 minutes at night. A couple times of week I mix in a bike ride with my kids in the afternoon for a 3rd cardio session.

[mdvsony]

i usually do 1hr in the morning and 40min to 1hr in the evening...

but if im bored i dont mind goin for an extra walk here and there on a moderate/non strenious speed....

[maxxmuscle]

Thanks for the input guys....

[wayne]

[Legend]

At 4 weeks out.....Don't worry about it, just keep doin what your doin, your right on point.

[Lenny]

I currently do 30 minutes of cardio and will increase 40-45 minutes max if needed.

Here are a couple quick pics that were taken about 9 weeks out and 8.5 weeks out, nothing special just some quick shots.
