Also, when I mentioned I was jogging and going uphill, I actually meant this on a treadmill at the gym. A few people just told me that jogging on treadmill is really inefficient compared to outdoors as the treadmill is doing quite a bit of work for you already. What do you think?
Also, also I work out at a small planet fitness. No pool and only treadmills or stair masters. Can you think of any other aerobic activity to try at a gym?
The different isn't going to be that big. It would only matter to you if you were a runner and it doesn't seem like you are a runner so it doesn't matter. You only care about calories used and getting your metabolism going. It will do that.
Does your gym have a rower? If so I'd do intervals on it. I'd warm up for 5minutes, then smash it as hard as you can for 15seconds and then back off for 45seconds. I'd repeat this for 10sets and then warm down row for 10-15minutes depending on how much time you have.
I always recommend the above for people but I don't think I've ever done it myself. I don't really need to do much cardio/ any cardio to drop fat. Well certainly not to get below 10% imo, but I probably will if I want to get to 8 or lower.
A few things I've found out since starting my diet:
-use a website to track your calories and macros! I use myfitnesspal and it's fine for me
-2200calories is way too low for me. I'm dropping too fast on it. Muscle wasted? Hmmmm...arms are still 17inches flexed, 18 with a moderate pump, legs are 26 but I've lost an inch off them or so. Waist is 31inches around my belly button.
-May adjust calories to 2400 and see how I get on, I'll see my measurements, but I like that I haven't lost much in the way of muscle, but I'm only down 4.3kg in 6.5 weeks.
-Refeeds are good for me. I've lost better fat after starting to refeed every Sunday about 3 weeks ago
-Having a carb up before a heavy training session makes a monumental difference when I'm only taking in 138carbs a day
-Having a carb up only affects me for 2days and I'm back down to normal
-Post training I'll eat a chocolate biscuit or something with about 20carbs and then take my protein shake. Doesn't seem to affect my fat loss what so ever so far
-I can't diet more than 4-5 days without a carb up/ binge. I've had a few 6k calorie binges LOL
-I train a lot...probably about 16hrs week plus any swimming I do which was 2-3x a week and Tennis which I hit about 1-2x a week as I love it and the weather in England has been immense this week
-I really want pizza hmmmm...I can't believe I haven't had pizza over the past 6.5 weeks!
-1/3 of a cheese cake with greek yogurt a few hrs before training on Sunday is fine
-Be honest with yourself. Adjust calories and macros accordingly and don't be too hard on yourself. A few days bad here and there isn't going to wreck your diet in the long term. Definitely not if you want to get to sub 10%. Probably a different matter if you want to get on stage though.
-Be in it for the long haul. It's a slow and steady grind to drop fat but it'll be worth it and keep your eyes on the end goal.
