Re: Hiya Ladies (gotta few questions)

[Guest guest]

Un Leesh Uh,

Let me respond to a few of your questions:

1) for cardio, if you are stating in MPH, then you are going pretty

damn fast! especially at 2% incline. But the key here is not the

speed, as it seems you are in good cardio shape, but the " effect " it

has on you. you just have to hit the high points for YOU, and it

sound like you are!

2) Yes, Basalmic Vinegar is okay. Many use it.

3) Your meals look perfect. Just think about portion size for you.

Didn't Bill say to use your fist to approximate portions?

4) Like I said in a previous post, if you want to lose weight you

have to burn more calories than you eat. See

http://www.hussman.org/fitness/ for details of how calories burn.

The idea of eating 6 times a day, plus HIIT makes your body burn more

calories, then it will use that fuel to repair the muscles your torn

down. BTW, I still cannot eat 6 times a day, so for me, I cannot

gain the weight I want!

5) American Idol is a complete sham. SUCKS and should have

never been in the final 12. But as one internet site pointed out,

its a " teen popularity contest " now, not a " who's the best singer " ,

because, even though I favor jasmine, there's no doubt that the three

divas were at a higher level than anyone else.

gina here again...another question...I run on the treadmill too. My

9 is about 6mph and my 10 is 7mph, I have been increasing the incline

and playing around with intensity-my legs/body have no problem, its

my breathing that kills it. I have NEVER understood the proper

breathing technique! I pant like a dog in a closed up car! Help?!

Someone said inhale 2, exhale 3-what does that mean? I breath in and

out in a half second increments! thanks

Cardio-

Any way you slice it, its a " bitch " if you do it right. Evaluate

your Heartrate and see where it is. If you are getting close to 100%

of your MAX Heartrate, then you may be getting close to passing out!

My wife looks like she's gonna die when she's at 175-180. In doing a

sadistic test myself I once drove myself to see how high I could go

on my HR, I think it was the 190s even though my " MAX " HR is

projected at 186. Stasia, who is in excellent shape, and posts here

often, can't even break a sweat until she's over 170HR, and I think

she's in her 40s! So its different for everyone.

All I can say, is focus on deeper inhales, but when you're really

burning it, you will want to lean over put your hands on your knees

and pant!

Hmmmm...according to the heartrate thingie on the treadmill, my heart

rate prior to passing out is only like 155. I have a strap heart

rate monitor, but I haven't used it yet-maybe thats the key. I'll

strap it on tomorrow! PS...how do you find out the max heart rate?

thanks!
