This guy seems to have found a good cardio routine while he had a fractured foot, I thought you might find this interesting.

I like that idea. I'd be doing it if I didn't get teased for wearing a life vest.

Thanks mate i will start swiming next week and see how i get on thanks for ur advice

MedDx's picture

That's actually a great idea for the OP. Alternating back and forth between body weight and life vest would work both fast twitch and slow twitch muscle... great idea...adding weighted belts...now it's getting interesting....lol. Smile

If you are spending time in the gym working out properly your body composition should be improving. Increase lean body mass through lifting weights and proper diet. You don't need cardio to that. If you are not getting results, you need to re-evaluate your training/diet. You can also make your lifting routine into cardio also, Decrease the time between sets. If one minute isn't doing it, take it down to 45 sec and so on. You don't need to be running on a treadmill or bike or whatever to get cardio in. Weight lifting just in itself will burn a ton of cals. I can burn up to 700+ cals in an hour just from lifting alone and the cal burn continues to be elevated for several hours after lifting as, not so with traditional cardio.

You sound diet and exercise savvy. Your BMR puts your TDEE maintenence (2233) with activity (1.25), which might need to be lower (activity tolerance) or higher (foot injury), at 2700-2800 cal/d. If you are doing a daily macros of 300-325g/200g/120g (p/c/f), is that reflected in all the food you eat? Your diet looks like it needs more protein like milk, eggs, lean meats, etc. For lifting regimens, I would do light and heavy days, but focus on light weight and full high reps 15-25, but get the burn, even if it takes 60-80 reps, get the burn on a warm up. Rest less in between sets, too. And, I'd do 25-35 minutes for the regimen.

Which body types do you think you are: endo, meso, ecto, or a mix? Metabolism slows at 30 for some individuals. What happen to your foot?

MedDx's picture

Mesomorph body type maybe mixed with endo, is my hypothesis. Thanks for the history. You on meds for anything?

elliott123's picture

Was on many pain meds but swiched over to cannabis oil as the meds had me off my dish and twiching

MedDx's picture

Okay. No problem. Get some oil that has a high CBD%, so you don't have to ingest all day to be therapeutic. Cannabis oil is probably better for you, anyway.

Get some bloodwork done like Med suggested, especially the thyroid and T levels. Could be fighting a losing battle if your thyroid is messed up and have low T.

elliott123's picture

Would i get these done at the doctors

MedDx's picture

Depends, there are places that you can order your bloodwork on line from, then go to a local lab and have it drawn.

elliott123's picture

Cheers lad i will see if i can get some done and get back to yous with the results thanks for all ur help u will here from.me soon hopefuly with aome.info

Makwa's picture

Put it up. We'll see if we can make any good suggestions to get you going in the right direction.

MedDx's picture

I added a tidbit of info... Smile Good forum. OP seems receptive.

Makwa's picture

I see that

MedDx's picture

OP is off somewhere in his training and diet, maybe both. I would like to know his history a little more, family, social, etc. He could get full set of labs with Thyroid panel, maybe lipids, too. Smile

You need to stay on top of your thyroid hormone production and function...
