Kris Gethin 12-week Daily Trainer - Week 2: Day 9!

same here, although not a viral disease like Kris'.. I can barely walk due to overworked on my legs..

Me too. Stupid cold going around....dry throat, slight stuffiness...Killed myself in the gym today...I'll have tomorrow "off" and do cardio only which should help and maintain my vitamin levels and supps while watching my diet.

I am wondering this as well. I have completed a few 40 minutes sets do to missing previous cardio sessions. The only downside I can see to 1 session is your body breaking down muscle for energy to supply the prolonged cardio session if you didn't properly eat throughout the day. Also, Your metabolism doesnt get a fast start if you skip the morning cardio session.

Just walk outside for 20 minutes. You don't need a treadmill to accomplish the cardio. If you watch day 1 Kris is using his stairs within home to get his cardio done.

ajlurgio87 anything more than 30 of cardio becomes an endurance exercise. Some people swear by running but too much cardio is not good. You should go for 75--80 percent of your training heart rate for 30 min. This is your VO2 Max which is a percentage of of your max heart rate. By the way that scale you see of treadmills may not match your training heart rate for example my THR is not 143 its more like 156 and I am 38 years old. You have to measure it out. Just Google VO2 Max Heart Rate.

Listen the reason why you dont do more then 20-30 min of Cardio is becuase then it becomes endurance training which is completly different then what we are trying to accomplish. Also when you do your AM cardio you should do your PM cardio no less then 5 hours apart, what it will do for you is ignite your metabolism. Good luck

doesn't your rescue squad have a gym? ours does! :)

what I do is I take a walk to the gym or with a bike for 20 mins, get into the workout and go home walking or biking for 20mins. That completes the 20-20min cardio requirement daily. Every rest day, I go 40min in the morning and another 40min in the afternoon, this is just to maximize the time I have spared for working out.

I was wondering this myself. I have been doing 40 mins straight cardio since I started this program. I do my 40 min cardio after my weight lifting. However, I will change it up, for instance I will do 20 mins on the treadmill, 15 mins on the epileptical and 5 mins on the step machine. And also on my days off, I do 40 mins straight.

I did my weigh-in yesterday and found that I lost 7 lbs. since I started. Which is exactly what I wanted. The only thing I dont want is to lose muscle, which at this point I cannot tell cause I have more fat to lose.

Mate, people only respond if they can be bothered ;)

What do you need help with? If I can answer your qu's, I'll try to respond ASAP.

i am doing this work out well always pushing myself and definatly sore my diet and supplement package are all good but i am losing little to no weight what should i try next

This program is primarily designed to add muscle mass. If you want to lose weight, I suggest finding a program whose primary goal is such.

from this site: http://www.bodybuilding.com/guides/male-20to39-fat-loss/nutrition

REMEMBER - losing weight is all about eating approx 500 calories under your maintenance!!! If you don't do this, or something like it, it doesn't matter what you do in the gym. Nutrition is the basis of both weight loss and weight gain. Count those calories!

I disagree that this program is only to gain muscle and not lose weight. Gaining muscle is going to happen if you do this program, but so wont losing weight. Weight lifting is vital to losing weight. What it will do is help burn 300 calories throughout the day. Cardio is key to but only for that moment will you burn calories. Also nutriention is key, but you should have enough(balance)nutrition to fuel your workouts. This program's primary goal in my opinion is to help you get in the best shape of your life. You can adjust your meals and workouts to accomplish the desired look you want. I suggest you read the Body for life book!

No. Not so sure about the creatine but glutamine is for recovery and that faster your muscles recover the more they grow and protein is a bare essential no matter what they day is. You need to intake at least 1g of protein per body lb. Just make sure you spread your protein out through the day

On off days I'm taking:
-Fish Oil
-Multi-Vitamins
-Protein
-Green Tea
-L Carintine
-Glutamine w/BCAA's

No creatine or yohimbie

Make sure your eating ur meals you could be getting tanked because your bodys not getting the fuel it needs, you shoud be eating your meals every two to three hours.

I agree with nick, you should be eating 6-7 times a day in a stricter sense. try adding a banana for every meal or snack, it helps a lot in energy boosting.
