Yea Im not some hard ass on what other people should do.I always looked at fitness as doing or getting into a physical activity that you can carry into your golden years though. Like a sport, tennis, golf, swimming or anything you can do for a long time..Not only does every study show this.....but I've been a witness to it myself.High intensity short burst cardio burns fat at just about twice the rate, time-wise.What's the purpose of doing it that way as opposed to distance? I walk 2 miles a day and I feel like I'm doing my lungs a lot of good but the sprints might be for strength as well maybe?Today was Sprints, not distance.....How far do you run?
10 x 100-Meter Dashes with the break between being the walk back to the line.
Then 6 suicides. The lines being distanced @ a standard college basketball court.
Yes my neighbors probably think Im nuts, lol, I measured this all out using landmarks last year out on my street when I worked from home.
2 summers ago I was running close to 6miles a day, same diet, but now my rate of weight loss has been way faster/a shorter period of time.
I still do distance 3x a week just because my ocd wants me to know that I can hit pavement and just go.......its a weird accomplished feeling.
But its literally right about halved. 20minutes of high intensity training torches the calories of 40minutes of steady-state cardio.
Its something about the body's fight or flight mechanism being turn onto "maximum" as though your body is tapping into its evolutionary design and thinks its being hunted, or hunting. I've heard a few Doctors speak about it in those terms. The studies are pretty cool to read.....the how/whats and whys.
I know a gal who really does crossfit. She is in amazing shape but I see her slowing down at some point and all this work could end up being too much. Maybe it's our age difference and I have different goals because of my mindset. She likes it that I'm consistent and she feels it's enough.
Meh. I'm not sitting on my ass all day so it's enough for me.![]()
Some people DO sit on their asses all day and are skinny little *****, so.....
Im with you, do something you enjoy.
