as for myself...I may have to put my 5k ambitions on hold....saw a doc the other day and was told that I cannot put any severe strain on my feet due to the fact that I am severely flat footed (worst on the left foot than right) and need to be professionally evaluated and fitted for custom orthotics...I have an evaluation with a specialist but there was like an 8 week wait... in the meantime I was told that I could still workout but he recommended light walking with quick sprints in between...a mile at most for now with the standard inserts i have just to see how it goes and that i should swap my treadmill for an elliptical... </div></div>

sorry to hear that but you will feel so much better after getting custom orthotics and it is a lot cheaper than surgery later on in life.

Re: Healthy living-



ascording to mi HRM ie look seh mi did burn more fat calories from walking with a lower heart rate radda dan killing miself with the spinning class (170-176 hr)

does that mean less intensity burns more; high intensity helps with the muscles more?

Re: Healthy living-

i dont understand that fat calorie thing mi dear.

i notice however that i burn just about 100-120 calories per mile...so basically not that much more when me speedier.

maybe as i add miles and speed there will be a more significant difference.?

Re: Healthy living-

if you are running pass the 5 y.o., then that means you are doing good.

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: CeaBee</div><div class="ubbcode-body">I will post pictras of me sprinting past all the grannies and the 5 year old kids (the pictures of when me bus' and haffi stop to catch mi breath after the sprinting i'll delete )

i was reading an old runner's world and i saw them explain this...wasn't going to type all of it..so i googled and came across this that said pretty much the same thing that i saw in magazine


<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Quote:</div><div class="ubbcode-body">Myth: Exercise done at a low intensity, such as walking, is better at fat burning than other high-intensity activities, like running or cardio activities where you push yourself very hard.

The Truth: In a strict scientific sense, these claims are true because working at a lower intensity requires less quick energy and a higher percentage of fat is burned. But you'll also burn fewer calories than you would if, for the same amount of time, you work out at a harder intensity (running versus walking). If you're trying to lose weight, even though a higher percentage of fat is being used, a lower total amount of fat is lost.

Whether increased fat burning will result in actual weight loss is dependent upon several variables, including the total calories burned (which include both fat and carbohydrate calories) and the total fat calories burned. If you do work at a low intensity, you need to increase the time spent exercising to burn more calories. What matters most is the total number of calories burned. If you burned 250 calories every day from a short, fast jog, you'd see a bigger difference in weight and fat loss than if you walked everyday for the same amount of time. The number of fat calories you burn isn't that important, because even if you burn a lot of carb calories, these need to be replaced both by the carbs you eat in your diet and also within your body. Your fat stores will be broken down and transformed into carbohydrates when you need fuel. Even if you're burning lots of carb calories and less fat calories through exercise, your fat still inevitably gets used.

It boils — not burns — down to this: During the same amount of time you don't use more calories at lower exercise intensities. If you're trying to lose weight and you have only 30 minutes to work out, you would burn fewer calories walking at a moderate pace compared to walking at a fast pace. Working out at higher intensities may cause you to burn a lower percentage of fat, but since you burn more total calories, you still use more fat calories</div></div>

Re: Healthy living-

Yep I can agree with that article... I am picking the higher intensity exercise which I think is helping to make my pants fall off me.

Re: Healthy living-

ah i see. .Thank you much. Also found info on training zones with heart rate monitors
<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Quote:</div><div class="ubbcode-body">TRAINING ZONES

Healthy Heart Zone (Warm up) --- 50 - 60% of maximum heart rate: The easiest zone and probably the best zone for people just starting a fitness program. It can also be used as a warm up for more serious walkers. This zone has been shown to help decrease body fat, blood pressure and cholesterol. It also decreases the risk of degenerative diseases and has a low risk of injury. 85% of calories burned in this zone are fats!

Fitness Zone (Fat Burning) --- 60 - 70% of maximum heart rate: This zone provides the same benefits as the healthy heart zone, but is more intense and burns more total calories. The percent of fat calories is still 85%.

Aerobic Zone (Endurance Training) --- 70 - 80% of maximum heart rate: The aerobic zone will improve your cardiovascular and respiratory system AND increase the size and strength of your heart. This is the preferred zone if you are training for an endurance event. More calories are burned with 50% from fat.

Anaerobic Zone (Performance Training) --- 80 - 90% of maximum heart rate: Benefits of this zone include an improved VO2 maximum (the highest amount of oxygen one can consume during exercise) and thus an improved cardiorespiratory system, and a higher lactate tolerance ability which means your endurance will improve and you'll be able to fight fatigue better. This is a high intensity zone burning more calories, 15 % from fat.

Red Line (Maximum Effort) --- 90 - 100% of maximum heart rate: Although this zone burns the highest number of calories, it is very intense. Most people can only stay in this zone for short periods. You should only train in this zone if you are in very good shape and have been cleared by a physician to do so.
