To all the people who have lost weight, are losing weight, or just want to be more healthy - well effing done!
All these social media ads on "how to lose x stone in 10 minutes", how get buff if you're over 50", "everything you've ever done, are doing, and will do in your life is wrong" - forget them - do what works for you.
For me, since I got back into cycling, I have had a goal of doing a 25mile time trial in less than an hour (which I never did when I was younger) - Covid and chest infections put the kibosh on that this year, but my coach says there's no reason why I can't do it next year, provided I train to his specs over winter, oh, and lose the 20 pounds I put on this year because I couldn't train or race properly!
So I fully endorse what people are saying on this thread: get a PT, go out walking, eat sensibly, get something that measures your heart rate - I don't rely on them for calorie counts though - they are better than they were, especially with measuring resting heart rate - get your heart rate up into Zone 4 at least once a day and you've done all the calorie counting you need, provided you have a sensible diet of course!
AI has kindly provided a quick summary of heart rate info:
Important:
If you have a heart condition or take medication, you should ask your health care professional what your heart rate should be
Heart rate zones are based on your maximum heart rate (HRmax) and are used to target different types of exercise:
Zone 1: 50–60% of your HRmax, for warm-up and recovery
Zone 2: 60–70% of your HRmax, for aerobic and base fitness
Zone 3: 70–80% of your HRmax, for aerobic endurance
Zone 4: 80–90% of your HRmax, for anaerobic capacity
Zone 5: 90–100% of your HRmax, for short burst speed training
To calculate your heart rate zones, you can:
Determine your resting heart rate (RHR) - smart watches can do this for you, if you're able wear them while you're asleep
Determine your HRmax :
Multiply your HRmax by the lower and upper percentage limits for each zone
Add your RHR
You can estimate your HRmax by:
-Running up a hill that takes about two minutes
-Using the highest heart rate you've seen during a race or high intensity workout in the last six months
-Calculating 220 minus your age
Oh, and Pilates is excellent as well, keeps the body supple (or in my case, gets it slightly supple in the first place!) and helps prevent unnecessary muscle strains... |
