How many calories to burn on cardio days?

[inshallah]

Currently im 19yrs old, workin out since 2 months on this routine:

Monday: arms/chest
Tuesday: CARDIO!
Wednesday: abs
Thursday: CARDIO!
Friday: legs
Saturday: CARDIO!
Sunday: rest

Im 210pounds / 96kg / 15stones no idea of bodyfat but i have a lil pop belly lol ... (ffs) ... arms/legs/back etc is nicely toned.

ANYWAYS....

QUESTION NUMERO 1!!
How many calories should I burn (eat around 2000 a day).

QUESTION NUMERO 2!!
How many calories do you burn?

QUESTION NUMERO 3!!
Is there any difference between running/cycling/swimming ... is there ' a better way of loosing calories ' or is 500 calories sitting down cycling ... or full body running 500 calories a more efficient way to burn fatolaaaa?

cheers

First of all you should be eating a lot more than 2000 cals. Id say start with 3100-3300 and work your way down. Otherwise you will drastically lose muscle and strength. As soon as your body plateaus during your cut lower your cals by 100-250 for that week. Eventually you will get where you need to be. Remember, its always better to start out higher and get to a low calorie count rather than start low. Good luck, btw I'm Muslim also(looking at your username).

salamalekum bhai ,

I lived in south london all my life (19 years) but am currently moving to Eastbourne (East Sussex) on the coast, just overlooking the sea... its basically an old folk version of Brighton - very peaceful but for a young male in his sexual prime (19) can be very frustrating gyms are absolutely top class as old folk tend to be very considerate/clean up after themselfs and so on .... not abusing equipment and there harly any que's to wait for machines . Also not being a prime city centre its a huge gym lots of space unlike back in London where everything is very ... mm whats the word ... they like to utilize pretty much every inch they have.

You live near me?

 

[Nope]

I think buring anywhere around 300 cals is great...all the cardio machines are different in the way they count calories burned tho...do 30 min cardio with your target heart rate at 140 bpm...that'll burn about 300 cals...you'll be fine doin that

...and yea, by the way, you're gonna have to work your back and shoulders too...I noticed you left those out of your routine...it doesn't matter if they're "big" already...you can't just ignore muscle groups, you need your muscle strength to be proportionate

I burn around 300 per cardio workout

I don't think which type of cardio matters (bike, treadmill, eliptical)...as long as you switch every once in a while so your body doesn't adapt (and so it doesn't get so boring )

oh aye
where would you recommend I squeeze them in to my general routine above? keep in mind each body part takes a healthy 4-5 days to recover lol.

ALSO ... could you recomend me some back/shoulder workouts as ive never done them before .... my shoulders are big since a while anyway as I do all cash & carry shopping for our family hotel .... takes a good hour to load/offload the farkin van does me back in lol but of course id like to do precise training on those parts too.

anyway hope that your training goes well for u bhai
