Just back from the dinner gathering. 1st question friends were asking... did i spend alot of time in the gym? Fact is no. 30 mins per session. Sometimes followed by a relaxing swim.
Exercising is good for everyone. Not only when u over eat then need to exercise. Make it to the gym 3 times weekly. Train hard and rest well after.
Go online to find out effective regimes that can give u a real challenging workout within 30 mins. I see lots of fatties in the gym walking on the treadmill religiously only to stay fat. One need to train effectively than going through the motion.
Clark, how often do you even workout?

BMI or Body Mass Index is based on weight alone.
Just weight.
- It makes no distinctions for age.
- It makes no distinctions for muscle mass
- it doesn't even distinguish between male and female.
most of the athletes in the peak of condition are, according to BMI standards, at risk. This is understandable because athletes are often quite muscular but BMI scoring does not allow for the percentage of muscle mass and muscle weighs 4 times heavier than fat. BMI scores render many athletes even those with very low bodyfat levels as "obese".
BMI is totally meaningless for me. At 18, eating only 1 meal a day for 6 months, it made me damn weak to achieve this BMI crap. Read more about resistance training vs traditional cardio.
Traditional cardio loses weight undiscriminatingly, this means, the weight you lose, some 25% will be from your valuable muscles. In the long run, if you only do lots of cardio, you will lack muscle mass. This explains why professional long distance runners are all skinny. Compare that to the sprinters that has explosive power in their run. They are huge.
Both have very similar fat ratio, but contrasting BMI.

interesting that you touched on bone density... do read up more on the benefits of resistance training to bone density.
just google... lots of information available.
http://www.naturalnews.com/010528.html
after reading... tell me again if you think cardio is all you need. And resistance training is no use.
btw, I'm Pes C2 because of injuries from over running. I was getting Silver (no big deal) because of inheritery inflexibility that affected my board jump. Could not tug in my legs. Doctors can't help me either. So, the only way to compensate is increase the power to jump further.

High-intensity resistance training, in contrast to traditional pharmacological and nutritional approaches for improving bone health in older adults, has the added benefit of influencing multiple risk factors for osteoporosis including improved strength and balance and increased muscle mass.
If you have not added resistance training to your regime, do consider. Its not just looking good.

Looks like no one who have revealed their height is shorter than me haha. Quite used to it since I'm shortest among my siblings and also in my department. 95% of my friends are taller than me. As for my weight I belong to the old school of thoughts that women should have curves. I guess I can lose another 2 kgs to look better but there would go the bustline.
I am most happy with my eyes but most guys including my bf have said it's my lips, especially when i smile, is most attractive. I also like the way my legs look as they are slim, and I look good in miniskirt and hot pants.

Milo, good article that u have provided.
resistance training is certainly of use. i guess even basic walking with some form of loading can achieve the same purpose. In my younger days, i did a lot of intensity training....and i guess in some way, it can be quite 'stressful' on the body. As we get older, it is more prudent to be a little more gentle on our body.
I believe that the BMI range should be taken as an indicator. For everyone to monitor and get some form of benchmark to access their weight in relation to their health. Still good to use despite having little distinction (not totally meaningless).
Health is wealth. Worth more than a million dollars.

Hi Clark,
HIRT is targetted to minimize the insult to the body. With adaquate rest between each workout, it should be safe for the body.
Another interesting article that suggests that why resistance training is important.
http://www.pponline.co.uk/encyc/0265.htm
"For endurance athletes, two of the key problems associated with getting older are a gradual decline in muscle mass and a potential loss of bone density. The missing muscle makes it more difficult to run, cycle or swim powerfully, and the shrinking bones increase the likelihood of injury and osteoporosis.
Of course, running and cycling preserve leg muscle tissue, and studies have shown that running about 20 miles per week enhances bone density. Unfortunately, running has little impact on upper-body muscle mass, and scientific studies have shown that runners who log 40-75 miles per week actually may have decreased bone densities in their upper spines, shoulders and ribs, compared to sedentary individuals."
I spent many yrs training long hours in the gym with lesser progress. HIRT is truly effective. Giving me more free time lesser time commitment to each workouts.

There are always many reports of one type of training against another.
I believe in moderation
http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2009/02/090227080005.htm
The above for example says running May Provide More Benefits Than Resistance Training.
Then again, stronger bones is only one aspect of our health. There are many other areas.
For me, I believe in mild exercises in moderation. Nothing intensive, nothing high impact.

hi sm,
thanks for sharing the good article.
The article doesn't really say running or resistance training is better. Rather, highlights the benefits of impact sports and running to lower limbs. It doesn't contradict with the earlier findings about the weakness about running. The benefit are most on the lower limbs and nothing for the upper body.
Also, I would like to point out common misinterpretation of HIRT. Intensive Resistance training isn't high impact. All movements are to be done strictly and slowly with every repeatition focusing on its intensity done with minimum strain. What it does is maximize the work done within the short timing and keeping the heart rate around 80% which is very similar to a running training.
If you would to pick up most fitness mags nowadays. Most will be selling HIRT over traditional forms of training.

Exercising is for everyone. So, is resistance training. You will only bulk if you have the testosterone and right diet to grow it. Women do not naturally have the testosterone to build big muscles. No matter how hard you train, it doesn't grow much.
That is the point why I'm driving across here. We need to exercise to stay healthy. Recent studies have reported effective results with HIRT. It is not only for bodybuilders. HIRT is reported to burn much more calories than 1st perceived previously. The effect goes beyond the workout, it increases the metabolism for the next 36 hours. Hence, you continue to burn more energy beyond.
I want to share this with because it free more of your time. Each workout is only 30 mins. I'm sure we see many people walking and running hard on the treadmill without much progress. Our time is previous.
Moderation is surely needed. Have a balanced lifestyle that includes some sports and exercises.

About vanity, who isn't vain?
But, its really beyond vanity. I enjoy bodybuilding, swimming and cycling. Just as bowling. These are the activities I enjoy. And I set goals to achieve in them.
Oh yah, bowling is one activity that surely improve the bone density of the limbs.

Nic, i set my goal on swimming too. Before every swimming session, I will set a target on how many laps that I want to achieve.
The highest are 30 laps (to and fro consider 1 lap) and I will set a goal to hit 50

For me, sometime I count..sometime I just do whatever I can...sometime I just go for a dip in the water for fun...sometime I exercise because I have problem or feeling lousy...after a nice work out and sweating...I felt better..better appetite..easier to fall asleep...keke..so it all depend on the time available, my mood and company....
Tingyi
How long you take to finish 30 laps? My best result is 20 laps but never keep track of the timing, probably more than a hour...I prefer freestyle, you?

nic: I took 1 hr to swim 15 laps (to and fro per lap) so almost 2 hrs for 30 laps.
Me too, I like to ponder and think when I swim, v relaxing after the swim like doing a massage or spa...

I oso like to ask those health people if they experience this themselves.
Do you think it's good to go for runs in the evening or in the morning?
I go runs in the evening after work but the run keeps me awake all night and I can't sleep properly. Whats up with my body?
Thinking of changing my runs to the morning, but I think I'm too lazy to wake up.
Any advice?

ern, i read this somewhere which I agree.
The timing is not all that important. Its the frequency. One should exercise when the opportunity arises.
If you intend to lose weight, best time for cardio is early morning without breakfast. Your body will be without insulin and all the energy burnt will not be from your sugar or carbo intake but fat burning.
I also agree that exercising keeps you awake. Its completely normal. To help you sleep, you could get an eye mask or soak yourself in the bathtub to relax. For me, switching to Korean drama will bore me to sleep. If you can wake up earlier to exercise, it would be better. But, if you can't the evenings is the only other option available.
Also, take note of your resting heart-rate. If its increased, its an indication of over training.

Milo,
Thanks for the info. My weight is okay, at 74Kg and 1.78m but would be nice if I can knock off some kilos too. Actually I wanted to start training for the stanchart marathon but not this year, maybe take part next year. So I heard from people that it takes about a year to train.
Just started my running regime a few weeks ago and it's turning my sleep into nightmare.
Maybe I should run earlier in the evening on weekdays and then maybe on weekends I can run in the morning.
I think the resting heart rate is true, can feel that at night my heart pumps harder and my body heat is to the point of feverish, maybe I should just tone down abit.

Over training in the long run hinders progress. Its a vicious cycle, if your resting heart is increase over a long period, your sleep will be affect and your recovery is slower.
Resting is an important part of recovery from exercises. Something we overlook and take for granted from young. But, as age catches, our recovery is no longer like before. Even top footballers Giggs and Owen are also not playing regularly for 90 mins. They have all the experience and a wise manager like Fergie will know when to deploy them to good use within the limited timing.

i think 2 persons with the same height and weight can look very different in size
SM says his eldest girl is 1.65m and 54kg and she looks bah bah to him. I'm also 1.65 & 54, but people usually commented i looked thin/trim and was shock to know my actual weight .. hmm.. maybe my bone is heavy?
