My goal is to be in far better shape by spring. Once you get into a routine you will feel so much better.
By springtime I should be in love with myself |

you said you walk? can you not run? They say the key to cardio and weight loss is getting your heart rate up and keeping it there for at least 30 min.. Invest in a heart rate monitor(you can get a basic one for around a hundred) and guage the intensity of your workouts according to it. You're not too old to loose it but it;ll take more work than if you were, say, 25.. Oh and you have to work the abs.. try and do 50 sit ups a day and work your way up from there.. I was good when I was 25 I know it's a lot harder now |

running is bad for the knees yes and no.it can be and it is for a good many people. if the supporting tissue (muscles, tendons, ligaments) around the knees aren't strong enough to keep the joint itself from taking the whole load from running, the knees will suffer. those elliptical trainers can accomplish basically the same thing, if the person knows their knees won't stand up to the pounding. still, the key is to establish a target heart rate and maintain it through your workout, whatever it happens to be, running, cycling, elliptical etc.. |

I just started up at Weight Watchers and also have a bunch of aerobic videos (I know, boring for men). My carbs are my downfall, I really need to be careful and cut way back on them. I have a love affair with bread....mmm...fresh baked rustic italian loaf! I know, I need to stop the bagels, the pretzels also switch to whole wheat pasta. |
