How much cardio?

AshOZ Posts: 14 Joined: 2005/07/25	2005/07/28, 12:27 PM I want to gain weight (the right way, of course) and I was just wondering how much cardio I should do? I know I shouldn't do a lot of it but I don't know where the line is between too little and too much. Thanks. -------------- When life gives you lemons, make lemonade.

The thing is, there is a special diet for the ab program that wants me to cut carbs by however much and add protein by however much...and on and on. So do I follow my nutritional plan or do I follow the diet plan? If I follow the diet then do I use the nutritional plan as a guide to use the diet plan? -Ash-

If this is true, my advice would be for you to have an upper body lifting day, and a lower body lifting day mixed in with 4 days of high intensity cardio. Nutritionally speaking you want to stick to fruits, vegs, lean cuts of meat, lots of water, and even some nuts to up your protein intake a bit. remember eat 6 small meals a day as well. I hope this helps, and you don't have to apologize about asking questions here. That's what this forum is built on. good luck and welcome to ft.
