It all depends on speed I guess, but I would think for the average person, running would burn more because it’s easier for a regular person to get to a decent pace, as compared with swimming where you need to worry about stroke / form / etc. [http://www.fitnessonline.com/tools/calories/](http://www.fitnessonline.com/tools/calories/) Input your body weight and put in running at 7 mph as against swimming at the faster speed and running burns more, at least according to that site. > [@post pic of wheelie or any other stupid stuff on a atv or motocycle](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/post-pic-of-wheelie-or-any-other-stupid-stuff-on-a-atv-or-motocycle/30259/32): > > At the Muay Thai gym i’ve been training at to get ready for a fight i’ve been doing a pretty intense cardio work out. > > It’s a series of 5 stations that include 45 seconds at each station.

Seem easier or harder effort wise? theres a ton of diff levels (i think 20ish) so you can put up on diff resistances. i usually go on 8 but i might have to start going higher. i like it because its easier on my knees then running on a track/outside. i also feel like my shoes would fly off it i did regular running since i don’t tie my shoes. ---

It also never wants to mix well with milk or water so I end up drinking chunks. Not much research out there showing that more than 1g of protein per lb is needed, but most shoot for 1.2 or so. “Enhanced” athletes have been shown to be able to take advantage of levels as high as 1.5, due to AAS increasing protein synthesis. ---

I can help you with your pre/post excercise meals, and meal timing. Yeah I know, I think I read some of those posts before… But admittedly it could have been in Spanish- I understood very little. Anyways, I will contact you when I’m ready to start something up. Out on the road here in Salt Lake City… Haven’t worked out all week so I decided to burn some calories at the hotel gym… 4.6 miles on the treadmill, took me about 45 minutes- ran most of it, walked about 0.3-0.4 miles of it only. 600 calories right there. Started getting tired after the 2 mile mark, then I remembered that SLC is at 4200 ft altitude… Does this really affect a person’s stamina (thinner air = less 02 intake) ? Spent 40 minutes on the climber after that, did about 110+ floors… Another 400 calories. Total expenditure- 1000 calories… Sucks that this is like, the equivalent of one juicy burger! ---
