Two Long Walks October 29, 2006
Posted by vinnyt in : Exercise, fitness , trackbackSo, I’ve stuck with my exercise, and as a result I’m really sore today. I initially believed that I should just go out and force myself to go as long as I possibly could and over time my stamina would increase. I’ve done some research and spoke to a few people who are near experts on the subject and I believe that my initial approach would work, but it’s not going to help me with my first goal which is weight loss. Based on what I’ve read I need to work out about about 65% of my max heartrate, which based on my age is 119 bpm. At the moment if I run for any distance my heart rate goes way past the 119bpm so I have to slow down to maintain that level. So before where I had planned on pushing myself by trying to runner faster daily I’ve decided to walk for a longer period of time. Essentially I’m giving 1 hour and some change each day to my workout. Thus far after really only about 4 good exercise days I do feel like I have more energy but like I said I’m quite sore. I’m going to give it more time and see what somes to pass.
