starting out



F

Fat Bastard

Guest
I been reading about fitness and weight loss and want to start exercising.
I'm thinking about jogging and some light free weights to burn fat and build
muscles. I don't really have more than half and hour a day so I was thing I
might start jogging a few miles each morning with those velcro weights on my
ankles and wrists. Right now I'm six feet, 42 years old and 236 lbs but not
too flabby as I had a big frame. I want to get undo 200 to get out of the
red on the bmi chart. I've got good shoes and a soccer field nearby. Any
thoughts on how to ease in to this routine? Oh yeah, I'm not a total potatoe
as I coach hockey and did a lot of skating over the winter.

Start with some light jogging, don't even bother with velcro weights.
Use heavy weights. Heavy enough for you to do 3 sets of 8 reps and feel it.
 
Forget ankle and wrist weights, they are useless and will injure you.
To start out jog as much as you can until you are out of breath, then
walk until you catch it, repeat. You'll soon find yourself running more
and walking less.
Weights: buy a set of free weights, use the program that comes with it,
but skip the leg excercises. Do a full weight WO every other day.
 
u can have $5,000.00 bucks in tool and you can't get things to work over
a 10¢ part. let alone fine the fricking part....... butt Noooooooooo

This whole "use the program that comes with it" is so bizzarely stupid I
can't even figure out where it's coming from. What are you thinking? Do you
know and approve of every program that comes with every weight kit? WTF?

To the OP: The most important thing is what no one's said yet: eat less.

I want to foucs on the jogging or fast walking cause that should be the
fastest way to lose weight. Swimming might be better but not with wieghts. I
like the idea of the velcro wieghts cause it should help burn more calories
faster. Anyone tired this, how much wieght did you use? Like is said i only
have about a hlaf hour a day so a wieght regime and jogging seems like too
much.

I don't play hockey, I coach for free so I don't have millions and I don't
have an SUV (just an old volvo wagon) and we dont play soccer.

>sack....lose some weight.........

I'm not that heavy just a bit out of shape.

>........ mister I two fat nd only got 30 minutes to run at the

I only have a half hour cause I have to commute to my job as a bus driver
which just barely pays the bill a keeps me out of shape. That why i'm here
looking for ideas I can use in a half hour a day.

Just my 10 cents.

I don't eat much. I might get too many calories from beer but at least it
has antioxidants. I try to eat a lot of salads and fish, but that is really
hard when I drive bus for a living.

bad for you. period. you're in a rush to lose weight; drop the beer. drink

Wanna bet? Try recording it, use www.fitday.com. Don't forget to
include the beer. You may be surprised.

the ankle/wrist weights do not significantly increase the calorie burn.

Consider if you add a total of 4pounds of weights, you increase you
total mass by only 2%. Running instead of walking will be more
important.

And running those weights cause the balance of your legs and arms to
change. Will it directly injure you, may be not. But it may cause you
to have a poor running form which can lead to injuries long term.

The goal for exercise to burn calories is to get the heart rate higher
than normal.

SO lose the jogging weights and just run/walk, increasing the run
portion over time.

I don't really do weights, so I won't suggest what you need for those
other than more reps is better than more weight per rep. (unless you
want to do body building.)

just go out and enjoy the run.

Following up my own post - I used fitday to enter a typical person's
meals, starting with a breakfast of a glass of milk, two fried eggs and
toast with margarine, then a lunch of cheeseburger, fries and a medium
coke. At that point I stopped, because I'd already exceeded my base
metabolic rate of around 1850 calories/day - this without supper,
dessert, snacks, alcohol or even any bacon with my eggs. Fitday can be
a bit of a slap in the face - try it.

Just ignore the trolls. They must be getting paid by the word, which
might explain why they just keep posting more and more.

Dude. You're fat, you're out of shape, you're fixing to injure yourself,
and you're arguing with the people who are trying to help you.

If you're fat YOU ARE EATING TOO MUCH.

If you're overweight RUNNING WITH ANKLE WEIGHTS IS STUPID.

If you want to keep the muscles you do have WEIGHTLIFTING HEAVY IS GOOD.

No big rush really but my doctor thinks I might have a heart mummer or
prolapse or something like that so the sooner I take the wieght off the
better off I'll be.

It looks like everyone thinks I shouldn't use the velcro wiedghts, are they
good for anything?
