I have gotten lazy after I came down with the flue a few weeks ago and would like to start exercizing again. I was going to the gym 3-4 times a week during the winter but now that spring is here I would like to start jogging and playing basketball.
I have found in the past that jogging works extremely well with atkins.
By jogging I also mean jogging / walking / running.
I have found this ... you set a distance rather than a time. I have found 2 miles to be good. If you can only walk this walk it if you can jog some jog it if you can run the whole thing then by all means do so. The trick is to time yourself and continue to work seconds off of the 2 miles. Try to run as much of it as you can even if you need to start walking after a few minutes and try to walk as fast as you can.
If you are also doing atkins you will notice that weight will start coming off quickly as your weight decreases so will your time that it takes to do the 2 miles ... once you get to a time at around 20 minutes or so once in a while try to push to three miles ...
You will be amazed at the positive cycle here. You run and diet and lose weight -> becuase you are lighter and have been running you will run faster and farther -> because you are running faster and farther you will lose more weight
Also remember that walking or jogging the two miles is very little difference in calories ... yep you are reading that right ... to run 2 miles or to walk two miles is roughly the same # of calories burnt. The difference is the calories / minute or calories / hour that you are buring. So if you are running you will burn off lets say 200 calories per 20 minutes where as if you are walking you may only burn up 50 calories per minute
This is why I like doing the distance rather than the time ...
In any case would someone want to be my running partner?
And start on this lets say tuesday?
Lets get a bunch of us ... and really stick to it ... spring is here
