How can you jog a 20 minute mile? That's slower than walking pace.

Because I keep stopping to let my thighs rest b/c they feel too heavy, tight. It's like I am doing squats or walking up an...

That's why I put the "where possible" part. Don't wanna get outrageous or nothin'. Everything in moderation, nothing in excess is another one of my mottoes. If I didn't have that motto, I couldn't follow all the other mottoes.

I try to eliminate "white death" where possible. Simple carbs like sugar and white flour.

Vic, I LIVE by that rule now, but man, do I miss them. What I wouldn't give for a potato. Just one.

And I can't even eat my sweet sweet pasta salad that I make for bbqs.

Covert Bailey is my fitness guru. I never really followed the science of it, just his suggestions, and it works for me (when I stick to it). No more than 45 minutes every other day of aerobic exercise where you can carry on a conversation without huffing and puffing every second word. Any more than 45 minutes actually works against weight loss. On the off days, I do muscle workout. Just got back into it because the gut seems to come on quicker than it did 10 years ago.

I try to...

A 20 minute mile is 3 miles per hour. Average human walking speed is 2-3 miles per hour. Most fitness runners go about 6 mph, maybe?

So a 20 minute mile is not a bad starting point.

^^^ Sadly, that kind of stuff is more common than you'd think for people who extremely over-train.

54321: Just walk -- there's nothing better for you! And the worst thing you can do is injure yourself while exercising. Once you're on the dark side of 30, it's hard to recover -- especially from joint injuries. Start slow and build up your pace and distance gradually -- that's the right way to do any kind of exercising, whether it's cardio, weights or...

Do that math.

Some guy dropped dead of a heart attack on an exercise bike in our company gym in Halifax several years ago. He was in fantastic shape and the poor bastard was only 29. Nobody could believe it.

Cycling won't bulk up your legs unless you put the most resistance possible on the bike and try to pedal that way for the entire class... you won't be able to do that more than a minute. Cycling will actually lean your legs out.

^ Doesn't biking/cycling only beef up your legs? I have a horrible body type that is not proportional at all. My lower half is much bigger than my torso. I would need to have a concaved stomach to have nice legs, let's put it that way so most of the weight is in my legs/ass area. I thought that walking/jogging would be best..
biking seems like it would only make my fatty legs muscular and bulkier.

Jogging a mile a day? So you only want to exercise for 8-10 minutes a day?

Do you burn more calories jogging than you do walking? Obviously if you have an hour to work out you can do a lot more jogging than you can walking but if you decide the distance rather than the amount of time you will spend exercising..does it make a difference?

Does one burn more calories jogging a mile rather than walking or is it the same but jogging is just quicker?
