I do 30-60 seconds of low resistance alternated with 30-60 seconds of high resistance and do that for like 10-15 minutes.

IE if im doing the stepper, ill do it on low resistance, then crank up the resistance & go balls out. then lower it again. Repeat.

Try doing 10 minutes like that & compare your heart rate to doing 30 minutes of low intensity duration.

compare the body of a sprinter to that of a marathon runner. Compare thier training methods also.

Now we are talking

i thought this question was directed to Nautica...

To be honest with you, I have almost quit working lets out. No, I am not one of the guys in the gym that have a huge chest and arms and skinny legs.

My legs blow up with just 1 or 2 workout and they overpower my body. If I were going to compete I would continue - but I would look like a fat ass in clothes - so I avoid it.

When I did work out legs it would go something like this.

Warm up

Leg extentions and hams

Workout

Leg Press

5 sets of 20 - usually hitting around 1500 lbs for the last set

Squats (Did not go to heavy here due to a bad back - and being burned on leg press)

4 sets of 10 - working my way up to 450 lbs on the last set

Then I would go back and hit the leg extensions and hams for 3 sets of 15.

At times I would throw in different types of leg presses after squats.

It was not really the greatest routine - but that was all it took for my legs. If the intensity was there it was usually enough to keep me from walking out of the gym on my own.

Nautica ---- Bro I am the same way. I have the worst time getting pants, it sucks smaller waist and big quads, most jeans are a bitch for me.

Yeah, if my legs start lagging - I will just hit them for about 3 or 4 weeks and they are back.
