Why do people go to the gym but then only do cardio?

[Jon Miller]

Yeah, that is what I want (the electric measurements in the scales are worthless), but I can't find one in stores.

Are there really people who don't buy virtually everything off Amazon these days?

I wish I had a good way to measure fat percentage. I have lost a good 5 lbs, and I am hoping it is fat, but it came off awfully fast (right after I changed medications).

I also bumped my weekly exercise to ~6 hours instead of ~3. I still hope to get up to ~10.

10 hours is to much. 6 hours max

Currently, 3 hours of that is weights. And remember, I do very high rep weights generally one of those days.

Also, when people discuss whether one is athletic or not, they generally refer to 10 hours a week of exercise as atheletic.

Remember, I get almost no exercise outside of the gym.

Ah yes, I forget what the American lifestyle is like..

I do three or four weights sessions a week and consider that plenty.

But I do tend to walk around 5-10km per day for general things. I've dropped 16lbs in around 10weeks without any significant cardio sessions at all

I want to get a bike, as work is only 3.3 miles away (with a hill), which is easily bikeable. That would give me the cardio needed everyday, and then Gym cardio would just be extra.

Why can't you walk it?

[Jon Miller]

I can, but that is a lot of time out of my day.

Enjoy the walk then..

[Jon Miller]

I prefer to walk slowly, which would mean that would be 1 hour to get to work, and 1 hour to get back.

Not acceptable, I would rather go to the gym for a 30-60 minute jogs (or outside occasionally) a couple times a week instead.

(why can't I jog the three miles? well, I carry my laptop to work every day)

put it in a backpack that has a buckle in the front!

1 hour to get to work is pretty quick isn't it..

[Jon Miller]

Nah, I currently get to work in about 10 minutes... maybe a bit more if traffic is bad.
