[Sportsandrec] WALKIN ROUND

Fri Jan 30 04:19:07 UTC 2009

Hey Ashley,
I disagree with you one place and would like to hear Kelly's thoughts on 
this as well. You said the best weight loss method  is to burn calories 
cardio vascularly such as on a treadmill. I am reading and talking to many 
trainers who think just the opposite is true nowadays in that you can burn 
just as many calories in less time by lifting heavy weight in lower reps.  I 
like the explosiveness it builds in the muscles as well. Now that I think of 
it, I would love to hear our judo guys and Justin, and everyone else's 
thoughts on this. I have begun a bit over a month ago using this method of 
lifting a lot and have really noticed some difference. I actually like 
changing up my lifts in that one day per week I like to do a pyramid, where 
I increase weight and lower reps as I go, do a middle to upper level lift 
once a week where I am about seventy five percent with about ten reps per 
set, and then I like to max out once and often twice per week where I lift 
all I can in three sets of four or five reps per exercise.
I like the spinning too and the cardio but this is a whole different thing 
that is fun and builds. I want the cardio but with the bulk to go with it.
In judo, the muscles you use are your core groups and it is a different 
strength, there is no strength in my opinion as a grappler's strength. 
Grappling is also a great cardio work out.
Lastly, Warning;  what I am about to say is going to drive Thornbury insane: 
One of the best cardio work outs there is is to suit up, I wear wind suit 
pants, a t-shirt, and a thick hoody and go  into the steamroom with loud 
music in your ears and run in place as long as you can. Caution, when you 
walk out of the room be careful of the air hitting you as it is intense, I 
advise a rest when you stop running before charging out of the room. Also, 
this is something I advise working up to and not something for beginners. 
Start off small timewise and work up. Do it for ten minutes at first to get 
a good taste. TAKE WATER IN WITH YOU AND DRINK FREQUENTLY! Drink!
