Getting into shape

[lukethedrifter]

The machines I'm using say I'm burning 1250 cal in 1hr 10 min. Based on the disgusting lake of sweat, I think they're close. Actually w rest it's closer to 1:20.

I've read somewhere that lifting weights gives your heart enough workout that you don't need cardio. Anyone have any thoughts on this because damn I hate cardio, but I quite enjoy lifting.

It depends on what program you're doing. If you're doing 3x5 sets with a 3 minutes in between sets (i.e. a strength program), you're not getting much cardio. If you're doing 5x10 with 1 minute breaks and supersets, you're gonna be pumping and sweating.

hmm, interesting. I do not take long breaks in between. I'll have to time myself tomorrow.

I'm down to my lowest weight since...I have no idea. Sixth grade? Hovering around 168 or so, down from ~183 since I last started up again (and down from ~240 when I decided I needed to change something about four years ago).
