I need to get in better shape. I am starting to lift some weights and start cycling with a little yoga stuff thrown in. It would be nice to drop a few pounds.
Easier said than done.
I notice a huge difference when I get back into a work out habit instead of couch surfing.
It sure is easy to get lazy.
What do you do to get in shape for scuba?
I do agree that everybody has different reason to exercise, but in the context of the thread, "How do you get in shape for scuba," it is reasonable to assume that increased cardiovascular endurance is a priority. And it is a priority that can be effectively addressed with high intensity intervals, which is why I do them.Not to be rude, Vladimir, but "the desired effect" of a workout is substantially different from person to person. To burn fat you need to get that mix of "high-intensity minutes into the cardio" but if you're just trying to maintain muscle fitness, there's absolutely no reason for it.
