Hey man

Post your current diet in this thread:

http://www.steroidology.com/forum/diet-forum/153271-free-diet-advice-3j.html

And ask 3J if he can help you out. If you don't have a current diet, take some time to read through a few pages of that thread. Tons of info in it.

As for cardio - get creative. Seriously. You're gonna have to enjoy what you're doing. I personally like swimming early morning right as the sun is rising. Here in Arizona it's so awesome that I don't need any extra motivation to go do it.

If you live in an apartment complex, you can do stairs. Run up and walk down. Set a small goal like going up 5 times and start timing yourself. Try and do it a little faster every time.

I went from 230 to 186, hit 3j up for your diet, run for 30 min on an olliptical, every 10 min or five min sprint on it for 1 or 2 min. getting your hart rate up with a sprint then jogging it out and repeting will do wonders for your cardio and endurece. at 250 you will have a rough time on a treadmill, so olliptical would help alot.

you could do all the cardio in the world and eat like a dirty pig and get no where..

but to answer your question... cardio is done best in 3 ways from my experiences...

1. early morning, before you eat.. at low intenisty (at about 130bpm) for an extended period of time (30-45 min)
2. right after your workout.. same deal... dont take ur intensity up too high... ull be burning muscle
3. this is my personal fav... FIND A SPORT.. mine was boxing and jiu-jitsu.. u dont think of it as cardio, cuz ur having fun doing it.. number 1 and 2 are BORING to most people.. though they are also very effective...

get ur diet together.. check out my sticky.. at the least read through post 1

you forgot sex retard.

4. Get you a hottie and start fucking. Or get you a fattie and reach the goal together (a fat hottie preferably).

Like 3J said, diet is the key here, as is the case with reaching most physical goals. Without solid nutrition you will go nowhere.
