wake up call for cardio

[JustWannaBeHuge]

My strength is great, and i'm loving the size I have built over the last few yrs, butlast week when i took my daughter to the park to sled on the snow, after climbing bak up that hill, it really felt like i was going to die hehe, after a few times climbing bak up, it was taking longer and longer to catch my breath.

i figure i want to live a long life so i better start doing cardio again (please don't bash me for stopping it before) hehe

my ? is, I am 3 weeks into a bulk cycle, how much of a change should I make if any, besides adding cardio?

Traing goes like this, Tues=legs, Thurs=back,traps, bi's forearms, Sat=chest shoulders tri's.

I was going to start running again, several yrs ago, I used to run about 5 miles a day, I'm sure things are alot different now tho hehe.

should i run every other day? and how many more calories should I take in to make up for the lost of cal's by running?(i know the cal's i burn, but how long does my body keep burning extra cal's even after cardio?)


thx for any help i can get fellas

Running's too hard on your knees and back, esp with your weight now!

Have you considered pulling a sled?

Yeah.....if you pull a sled you'll probably build some good strength in your legs too..........Pull a sled,hehe......that's funny! Seriously though, I would just do some high intensity for no more than 20 mins 3 or 4 times a week.....that should be enough to put some wind underneath your wings and not compromise your gains. Take care.
