Gym Junkies! (1 Viewer)

[RUB!X]

Is it just me or is the X-training machine full of shit ...
Apparently i burn 671 calories in 20 mins on the hardest setting on the X-trainer ... and its feels easy
Yet in 10 mins of hard rowing (2.5km) i burn only 160 calories ... feels hard
Running is the same, feels harder, burns less, 360 calories for running my ass off for 20 mins ...
Bike/s is useless for calorie burning

Is the calculation for calories wrong on the X-trainer? (I've tried all of them, same numbers ...)
What is the most efficient calorie burning machine at the gym?

I currently spend about 40mins on X-Trainer, 40 mins on the treadmill and 10 mins rowing, the other 30 mins in the gym spent doing the weight machines

Anything i should change/recommendations?

Why dont you move to the weights area then?

Its the most productive part of the gym. Alot better than "Body Attack" .

wouldn't know how to use most of the things there, plus [not to sound sexist] but it isn't really meant for chicks...

 

[cuppas]

yeah but avoiding it entirely wont teach you what they do either. and weights arent gender-exclusive.

that said, poor form can make the weights rather silly...

That is such lies.

Weights are extraordinarily beneficial, to everyone. Women tend to avoid them because they think they'll get big or bulky, which is absolute ass.

When you have the T levels of a dude, you'll develop like a dude. Please don't write weights off, research, read, give it a shot.

Haven't worked out for 5 weeks, but surprisingly most of my muscle mass has remained intact. Hahahaha. Won't comment on strength though.

I don't want to become a she-male.

Reread my post :]

As far as all the muscley dudes go, no one will care what you're doing. They arn't there for you.

Man I hate gym-junkies.

"Oh look at me I work out and take hormones to make me look bigger". Why don't they just kill themselves while they're at it?

You don't need the gym to stay fit. It's called putting your dog on a leash, and taking the dog out for a walk to the park, while at the same time you are benefiting yourself. Do it for half an hour each day, watch your diet, and look! You've got a better diet and a better body then the fuckwits down at the gym do. And at the same time, you're not wasting money on paying for stupid fees that could be spent on something else, something else a bit more worth the effort.

 

[quik.]

Right, because everyone that goes to the gym is obviously on hormones, has a massive ego and is a zealot about training and diet.

It was never said that you need the gym to be healthy. It's a tool / option, just like heaps of other things. If your not keen on it, what right do you have to take a dump on it? Quit stereotyping.

true. people who exercise outdoors can have a chance to exercise not in the rain or subzero temperatures, it breeds versatile athletes

I know that, but that doesnt make it any less intimidating.

You suggest that all gym junkies take 'hormones' to make themselves look bigger (as if to imply hypertrophy is the sole point of gyms).

Then you assert that you don't need a gym to keep fit (cardiovascular-wise, I presume), directly contradicting the basis for the above statement.

If you can't figure out the connection, then you're a fucking moron.

I use to be a gym junkie... than i rediscovered kfc and maccas. I won my first bodybuilding comp last year in the teenage division than i lost it and have no definition, now i spend a majority of the day searching for junk food. lol... na not really that funny aye

 

[melimoo]

oh god i havent been for 2 weeks

and yet ive lost more weight than i did when going...

 

[quik.]

Might have been muscle, melimoo ]:

 

[melimoo]

motherfucker
gym and i are being reunited tonight! <3

 

[cuppas]

im taking a 3 week break from going gym because of trials... possibly my school is the last one in sydney still doing them :/

side note- going on a BIG legs regime when i go back. going to mix in deadlifts with squats, should hurt

 

[melimoo]

motherfucker

wait wait. can you lose muscle in 2 weeks?

 

[quik.]

I'm pretty sure.

If you have lost some over the two weeks muscle memory will bring it back, and more likely a bit more if you work towards it, pretty gosh darn quick.

Edit: Google-fu is not really helping. The answer I like most has been ~10 days. But there are heaps of different answers ranging up to 6 weeks.

If you have, you'll gain it back quick + interest. If you havn't, lucky you
