I just mean cardio-vascular stuff that makes you sweat, getting your heart pumping, burning calories, intense exercise that should be slightly out of your comfort zone.
At the gym I see some fat people who need to lose weight doing a gentle canter on the treadmill thinking that's helping.
I recall reading that the intensity matters more than the duration (phnah phnah), but can't remember why.
also as someone else said "muscle turns to fat" this is not the case, muscle is tissue, if you don't exercise then they become smaller or fat can accumulate around it making you appear fatComment

And; the fitter you get, the quicker you can burn calories. A fatty with no training might burn 500 calories in an hour of cycling and be so knackered at the end of it he needs a few days rest. A well trained person might burn 1200 calories in the same time and be able to do it all over again the next day.Last edited by Mich the Tester; 18 September 2013, 13:40.And what exactly is wrong with an "ad hominem" argument?

My lungs have always been of a good capacity, although after a brutal ride across Dartmoor I was heaving for a while.
My biggest was 17 stone, working away in the 90's in Germany as it happens. Just ate, drank, worked for 9 months. decided then and there it couldn't continue. I tend not to take a hotel with brekkie anymore, and make my own around 9.30 - 10 and use the hotel facilities in the evening. But I still love sport, especially cycling and canoeing (thinking about Dev-West canoe next year), which means my mass is more, and looks bad on BMI.
Mental really.Comment
