Weight Loss Forum / Low Carb / July 2005Walking
I'm in love with walking. It has renewed my interest in exercise and just feels darned good. Question - If I walk at a relatively fast pace every day for about an hour, and still do weights 3 days a week, that shouldn't be a problem for any reason, should it? The weights are now mostly concentrated on upper body, about 20 min., and then 10 min. for lower body. Marsha/Ohio :> I'm in love with walking.

A fast paced walk that raises your heart rate and gets you slightly out of breath and an elevated heart rate is just as good IMHO as any cardio machinery! Especially if half of it is uphill. And is easier on the joints than running...... Take the dog!  SignatureOm. "My mother never saw the irony in calling me a son-of-a-bitch." -Jack Nicholson > I'm in love with walking.

You may be different, but I see most people do exercise as a temporary thing. > I'm in love with walking. It has renewed my > interest in exercise and just feels darned good.

Perhaps. But walking affords me time to meditate, if you will. Less concentration than when doing weights. My attention span seems to have improved, and the overall good feeling is greater than when I first started with weights. If it does get boring, then I'll simply switch to another type of exercise. There are tons of them out there, you know!

Yeah, and you're certainly no exception. :> > I'm in love with walking. It has renewed my :> > interest in exercise and just feels darned good.

That is true, but most people do dieting as a temporary thing as well. There are a few people I know that have exercised for years and feel guilty if they miss a workout. It is definitely a part of their lives. They number about the same as the number of successful dieters. > > I'm in love with walking.

Why would you bet that? I understand that you expect people to fail (and appear to be terrified of the prospect of failing to keep your own weight under control), but I think you are being mean-spirited and JC- like to just throw that out there for no apparent reason when someone happily announces that she's doing something she really likes to do that is good for her. Can't you lighten up on people until you at least SEE some sign of cracks in the armor rather than proclaiming doom at the outset?

I guess I'm not the only one who gets "perturbed" by his "anti-exercise" propaganda. I've been a runner since I was 18. Took a break from it for about 2-3 years in college. Had a brief love affair with weight lifting and bodybuilding, but I got too obsessive about it and quit. I use excercise primarily to feel good. It's worked for me for years. > I'll bet that by 4 months from now, regular "Walking" will be history. > [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > > > > Marsha/Ohio Sounds fabulous! :-) > I'm in love with walking.

The only difference is that atm I'm doing a split weightlifting routine, so lift 6 days a week. I used to feel guilty, making sure to take an hour off work to walk - until I figured out how much better I was at solving problems in the afternoon, when I'd had a chance to think about them for a bit...
