well, first off, let me show you the kind of look I am going for. no huge muscles or anything like that. is more like the brad pitt fight club, chris cornell, european idea of the male physique sort of look:
The International Ideal (picture, far right):

now here is the workout I am doing in order to achieve this look:
tell me what u think, and correct me if u feel I am doing anything wrong.
I do both low intesity / long time cardio and high intensity /short time cardio.
I do both. even if diesel says long cardio is bull****. it still makes me sweat a lot (release toxins) and enhances my lung and breath intake capability which helps tons when it comes to singing (I am a singer among other things). one hour of slow cardio a day and according to me u can hit higher notes way easily. as a singer, cardio is essential I believe. plus it helps with a lot of other thing as well like heart health and blood flow, etc.
what I do is 1 hour of low intensity cardio at 7.0 km per hour on the treadmill with a 15.0 inclination which makes me burn in between 850 or 900 calories according to the machine.
and then I complement it with a 15 minute HIIT session which I dont know if I am doing right but it sure does tire me =) here goes how I do it:
I start jogging at 9.0 km per hour for 15 minutes then I run at 15.0 km per hour for a minute then I slow down to 5.0 for another minute to catch my breath, then I up it to 9.0 for another minute, then I up it to 15.0 for another minute and then I go down again to 5.0 for another minute and the cycle goes on for about 4 times till I reach 15 minutes, but at the last minute I do 16.0 km per hour for 30 seconds and the last 30 seconds I do my fastest sprint at 18.0. and then I cool down for 3 minutes. 1:30 at 5.0 and the other half at 9.0.
what do u think? am I doing it the right way?
I also do moderate ab work and try to do 50 pushups a day. I want to eventually push the number up when I get more endurance. Im not doing weights right now. Im trying to find natural non weights ways to excersise my arms. any suggestions aside from pushups? if I do enough pushups thats all the workout my triceps and chest and upper back and lower arm need I think. I just need something for the biceps now and that would cover it. pushups will give me strenght and definition which is what I want and will not bulk me up .
what do u think?
my diet isnt terrible but it isnt the best o I am started to change it as of yesterday so I am eating like 5 or six times a day. Im confident that in a few weeks Ill have that way of eating small potions six times a day completly handled. any suggestions on what kind of food I should it in order to achieve my objectives.
if it does any good heres some data:
I am currently 5, 7 and around 145 pounds. Im thinking of cutting down 15 more. 130 punds are equivalent to about 60 kilograms.
if Im 168 cm tall that should give me the balance I think.
is it a good game plan on the way to having the body I aim for?
thnks for the help =)
