You exercise and it's like an extra bar in the fire has been switched on. You combine the two and the weight just drops off.

Wow. Good on yer, man.

The excercise is also good for your cardio vascular system.
Better to eat a good bunch of decent food and excercise than do neither. |
|
By:
runnning 12k regularly is not great for you
|
|
By:
Why?
|
|
By:
because running knackers your body
|
|
By:
12k steady run once a week is fine mixed in with resistance training and shorter sharper runs.
|

fek resistance training. i ran 8k mnday lunch. walked 18k on tuesday because my legs were stiff. then on weds, despite feeling stiff i ran 10k a lunch, today i still had dodgy legs but though fek it and ran 12k at lunch. Have to do a half mara 21k on first sunday of february, so have to build it up. funnily enough my legs feel better today after a 12k run than they did on weds two days after an 8k run. you lose fitness fast, but regain it even faster from my opinion. gonna give 15k a go tomorrow.

because running knackers your body There's only one study on this that I have seen: 1000 Californians tracked for over a decade and it found no correlation with distance running and joint problems for medium distances (10k-ish a week). Happy to read your references if course. |

The excercise is also good for your cardio vascular system. Very true, but also you will maintain a lower fat percentage with exercise than just eating less to the same calorie level. |

i feel a lot better after exercise, like velasquez says. it burns calories so you can either eat more or lose weight - up to you. and you
and for me the alternative is pub spend nine quid and drink 3 pints and 600 calories(sometimes it is 20 quid and seven double vodkas and 700 calories, seriously) so if i spend that time spending two quid fifty in the gym and burning 1050 calories like today, and feeling better after it then i save money, lose weight and everything is hunky dory. Tomorrow i might just spend 20 quid down the pub though, not including juke box and pool money. :( |

how can anyone go out and only spend £20
|
|
By:
People who run have much stronger joints than people who don't.
I fail to see how this knackers your body. Obviously, there is temporary fatigue during the activity but overall you'll be much stronger. |

By:
eating good food and no exercise but staying slim is bad for the heart
you can get fatter people who exercise all the time have a better heart than slim people who do no exercise |

I've done five half marathons - never done a training run longer than 1 hr 50 mins and never run more than 3 times a week in training. I'm late 40s so not fast best time just outside 1 hr 45 mins. Resistance training done right has cardio vascular benefits and increased physical stength benefits my running anyway.
Plus running is pretty boring - though I agree on a nice day in the right location it gives you a real buzz. I do three resistance sessions a week (mainly with kettle bells) and two 40 min runs - not training for anything specific but can honestly say I've never felt fitter in my life. |

how can anyone go out and only spend £20 very easily, you get people who go to the pub 5 mins walk away from their house, no smoking or fruit machine, just 8 pints of lager, and you'll find £20 is enough |

That's close to my time at the end of the half-Ironman, Reasehealth.

what's Kettle bells please?

i was talking about lunchtime geordie oh i see thats alright then |
|
By:
i've done 3 marathons, prob about half a dozen halfs, but loads more in training, and loads and load of other 10 mile plus runs. lost loads of weight when i was doing it too and it felt good. Defo wanna give 15k a go tomorow, will then justify fish and *****in the evening.

That's close to my time at the end of the half-Ironman, Reasehealth. You're clearly much more hard core than me - only done one sprint triathlon, won't be doing another! |
|
By:
Goring a bit of a nob. end for saying that imo.
my best time for a half is 15 seconds shy of 2 hours. think i've done it in 1.55 on a treadmill though. |
|
By:
kettle bells are free weights that look like kettles. I have n't done a marathon - would like to but not sure I could cope with the training. You obviously love running p4th so good luck to you.
|
|
By:
marathons aren't much fun imo. i've never really done the training properly. i've always faded after 18 miles so end up taking 4.45ish when i ws looking like making 4.15ish. One day i hope i will beat 4 hours but i have to take the training more seriously.

By:
I did a 5 minute jog and 4 minutes of hula hoop on the WII tonight, feel great, BMI down by .22.
|
|
By:
oh right reaseheath
was just wondering why you have kettle-bells and not the usual dumb-bells does a kettle bell offer anymore benefit than a dumb-bell? |
|
By:
not a clue what my bmi is or whether 0.22 is a lot or not.
|
|
By:
or is it PC gone mad again?....no joke
|
|
By:
22 is good
0.22 is what you'll be 50 years after you die |
|
By:
No, I got it down by .22, I'm 30.18 now.
|
|
By:
would n't say more benefit pf - you can just do different exercises because you're holding them by a handle. Personally think you can get a better range of movement.

By:
ok fair enough

Just for the record, I'm starting on Protein shakes tomorrow as part of my kick ass training prog.
Doing personal sessions down my gym with a bloke who know his onions. 3 times a week and then cardio for 2 other days. After 5 weeks I've gone from deadlifting 70kg max to 90kg and bench pressing from about 60kg to 75kg. Getting great muscle definition already as well. Shame I'm not single or a **sexual to be honest. |
