| Oct 5, 2014 at 21:47 | comment | added | Tony Arra | @EricKaufman as they say in software development "early optimization is the root of all evil". So I agree. My major point with the post was that a good mixture of different kinds of routines is the way to go, as they all have unique benefits attributed to them. Not only in weight-loss, but your overall health. | |
| Oct 5, 2014 at 21:21 | comment | added | Eric | @LnxSlck Boiling it down again, if you've got your diet in check, you're doing conditioning and strength training, that's pretty much it. Fitness wonks can get really nerdy about what's the best squat, what's the perfect routine, etc. But I wouldn't let the micro-optimization discussions distract you from the over-arching themes. | |
| Oct 5, 2014 at 21:14 | comment | added | LnxSlck | @EricKaufman and TonyArra : That's exactly why i posted this question, i've seen so much different opinions that i couldn't figure out which is the best way to lose weight (specially fat belly). | |
| Oct 5, 2014 at 20:53 | comment | added | Tony Arra | @EricKaufman the opinion-article that you linked to talks about a study that appears to only measure the amount of EPOC generated by resistance training, and the additional calorie-burn resulting from the EPOC. I can't read the full text of the study because I have to pay for it. That being said, there are studies on HIIT that show a higher rate of fat-loss despite expending less calories. Whether or not this is a result of EPOC remains unknown, but we do know that HIIT results in a large EPOC as well. colorado.edu/intphys/Class/IPHY3700_Greene/TIPS/exIntesity/… | |
| Oct 5, 2014 at 20:28 | comment | added | Eric | All the studies I've seen show EPOC-fat-burning to be largely a myth (referenced in that study I linked). If there's some research showing otherwise, I'd be interested to see it. | |

| Oct 5, 2014 at 19:51 | comment | added | Tony Arra | @LnxSick I would think that that much running would burn you out in a week, but if you can handle it then it looks good. You may want to replace one of those days with an endurance run. I'd recommend 3 weightlifting workouts a week (ideally, spare yourself from doing cardio on at least 2 of those days). You may find this link useful in setting up a beginner's weightlifting routine: aworkoutroutine.com/… The sample rountines for beginners are very good | |
| Oct 5, 2014 at 18:22 | comment | added | LnxSlck | Thanks Tony. Would you consider this workout plan as a good one? Monday - HIIT, Tuesday - 8km aerobic run, Wednesday - 8 km anaerobic run, Thursday - 1 hour soccer, Friday - 8 km anaerobic run, Saturday - rest, Sunday - 8km anaerobic run. What would you advise as workout plan ? | |
