[QUOTE="Dracula, post: 1661757, member: 42691"] When I was in package car and decided to really get in shape, what I discovered was that working out was maybe 1/3 of getting there. The other 2/3's was all diet. Maybe I was stupid, but that was kind of shocking to me. I would hit the weights hard, and eat just as hard. Unless you have an unusual body type, it's hard to lose body fat without going pretty strict on the diet. My body type gains muscle fast, but if I don't watch what I eat, I gain fat just as quick. So diet is huge for me. Being in feeders, time-wise, is actually easier to go to the gym. For me anyway. I work nights, so when I get off, it's usually midday. I have 4 or 5 hours before I go to bed. But at my age, 48, I don't waste too much of my time hitting the barbells. I'm not interested in getting bigger. I'm more interested in keeping my overall health spiked. It's taking a long time to figure out my system, but for me, it's shorter, more intense workouts. I still do full-body workouts, but I do them with kettlebells. I do cardio, but I do the high-intensity stuff, like the elliptical, but 30 seconds full blast, then a minute slower, repeated 10 to 15 times. That's what keeps me healthy. [/QUOTE]
