weight losss

Question
I work out at the gym 5 times a week, is it true that jogging for 15min. with your heart rate elevated (at your target rate) you will lose weight. And second, should I take some sort of dietary supplements (hydroxy cut hardcore)

Answer
Mike,

I'm going to attempt to answer your question with limited information.

First, forget about target heart rate for a minute.  You have to decide what your goal is with your cardio.

If it's fat loss, I recommend that you do your weight training first and then your cardio.  That way your body is primed to use its fat stores as energy for the cardio.  

Then to maximize the benefits, do the cardio for at least 20 minutes.

Remember also that part of the reason for the cardio is to make sure that you are strengthening your heart and cardiovascular system.

Also, when picking cardio, make sure you choose cardio you enjoy, not just what you think you have to do.

As for dietary supplements, I usually only recommend a good multivitamin, a meal replacement, and a workout recovery shake/bar.  That's really all you need unless you're planning on being a competitive bodybuilder.

I get mine from http://signaturefitness.getprograde.com as they have a variety of products and are made from the highest quality ingredients.

I hope that helps you.
