"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

I just read the cutting up thread is says that cardio isnt that important to lose weight but my trainer said if I want to lose 25kg(approx 60lbs) he said that cardio is the most important thing, I should do 75% cardio 25% muscle so who's right my trainer or Diesel?
 

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

both, it's really the person and not the instruction they give you
but if I had to choose, I'd say DIESEL, it's what you eat that makes you, not what you do (yes, I was stupid that I've done over 2000 pushup but... hey, I thought it gave me strength)

Your trainer is right - except you're going to lose a ton of mass.

I'm right too.. except I'm MORE RIGHT (if that's gramatically correct) b/c at least with my method you'll still burn the fat but keep most of the mass.

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

If you need to lose 60 lbs, I guarantee you that you need cardio training. Your lungs and heart could use the exercise. One thing bodybuilders forget sometimes is that looking muscular isn't all there is to fitness..

I haven't found either straight cardio or straight diet any better than the other for maintaining muscle mass. Cardio eats away at my legs a little more, but dieting makes me feel lousier. You should mix your trainer's advice with a clean diet.

Big Forearms,
Totally agree,
This is a health and fitness forum not a body building forum.
I personally dont want " big muscles",
but i want what i've got to be defined, as they are,
just my preference, I'm not denigrating anyone here.
Regards
C

Whatever you chose to do. 15, 30, 45 min, or even an hour of cardio.....Please do strength training also. I know a lot of people who lost weight by doing just cardio and they look like ****. I don't mean that they don't look cut, I mean they look like ****!

I know you plan to but please do strength training also, and it will help you burn more calories.
