Thank you all for the advice, I will do a bit more research and experimentation, and hopefully in a couple months time I can hit my target!

It is extremely hard. I have rarely lift weights before so it will take quite some time for me to learn/adopt. Besides, what's life without smoking, drinking and prime ribs?

If it wasn't hard, there wouldn't be nearly as many fat people in the world.

first, i think that the majority of people are not fat and that it is therefore not so difficult to stay in reasonable shape.

second, i think the motivation is probably the most important issue here, not the actual action of running, lifting weights, etc.

whatever, ic an't even think right now. practically 3 in the morning and i have two exams tomorrow FUCK!

Where do you live? In the US, the majority of people ARE fat. Literally, the majority of the adult population is technically obese.

That's not true. It's more like 1/3 of the adult population are obese. If your talking about overweight and obese then thats another matter.

I was sure I'd seen an article recently saying that the number was over 50%, but a quick Google search isn't turning anything up. In any case, 1/3 is WAY too high. People's perception of the problem varies depending on where they live and what they're used to, also. The change from urban to suburban or rural areas is striking. One of the first things I notice when I visit my parents (suburban, entirely car-centric Southern California) is how many overweight people there are. I'm not trying to be judgmental, but it's very apparent. And this coming from someone living in a city that was labeled the fattest in America just a few years ago! Conversely, when I visit NYC, I notice a lot more thin people than in Philly, though the difference isn't as striking.

One of the first things I noticed in Paris (and around Europe, where people drive less in favor of walking or mass transit) is how skinny the population is compared to the U.S.

And please, everyone: don't throw around the word tone like its a kind of exercise program or activity you do in the gym by performing three sets of 20-30 reps so you "FEEL THE BURRRRRRN." Its more like:

Build Muscle + Cut Excess Fat --> Toned Appearance

Both steps require a lot of discipline.

Excellent observation. Now substitute Southern California with Texas, even "urban" centers like Houston, Dallas, or SA, where driving is the way of life (as in, there're no others). It's kind of gross, so just use your imagination.


FWIW, I also die a little bit inside whenever I see other college students get from one end of campus to another in cars, instead of on their feet.

Everyone should have off time scheduled for recovery during a program, and there should be off time in between programs.

True, but that assumes people actually have programs.

So ya, just a quick update if you guys are interested.

I started to convert my 35 min cardio workout to HIIT. Initially I thought it would be easy as I am just switching efforts to different intervals but god damn I was wrong.

On stationary bikes (or whatever you called it, manufactured by LiftFitness), I crank up the level to 25 and go all out effort for 30 seconds (after 5 min warm-up on treadmill) and break for 30. But as I tried to go all out after the 30 min 'rest', I can't seem to control my leg somehow and lose all the momentum after less than 10 seconds.

So ya, my ass is definitely getting whopped pretty hard from that interval thing.

Should I adjust the sprint/rest ratio down to 1:3 or maintain at 1:1?
