Members Kabaalk Posted September 30, 2009 Members Share Posted September 30, 2009 Some people waste a lot of energy twisting their arms and body from side to side as they run. Well... doesn't that help burn more calories, then? Well, for those looking to run just to lose weight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members manoeuver Posted September 30, 2009 Members Share Posted September 30, 2009 what the hell is a kettlebells? running is the worst. biking is fun cause it's fast and therefore dangerous. I don't do that either. my buddy just broke his spine and skull labor day weekend when his bike broke. exercise is dangerous, kids. if I need to lose weight I should cut back on the beer. I'm still thin, but certainly not lean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Jeck Posted September 30, 2009 Members Share Posted September 30, 2009 I'm going to start running too. I drive for a living so it's real harsh on my back. I figure if I start to run or do some stretching it won't be as bad. Also thought about getting back into some form of martial art. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Kabaalk Posted October 1, 2009 Members Share Posted October 1, 2009 what the hell is a kettlebells? It's a cannon ball with a handle on it that comes in different weights. The basic movement is swinging it backwards between your legs kind of like hiking a football, then powering the kettlebell up to chest height by snapping your hips, rather than using arm strength. Powerhumping, if you will. Skimming youtube'll yield you all kinds of results for the rest of the exercises - some people use it as a gym replacement.

Members mikeofbaltimore Posted October 1, 2009 Members Share Posted October 1, 2009 If you're going to increase your running make sure to do core exercises too, if you don't you'll be extremely prone to injuries. Also if you plan on warming up do an active warm-up of lunges, high skips etc. instead of static stretching because all that does is take your body from active state to inactive which makes you more prone to getting hurt.

Members Kabaalk Posted October 1, 2009 Members Share Posted October 1, 2009 So, you guys just got me out for a run tonight. I expected to make it about a half mile, despite the kettlebells, since I haven't been really running in a long time. Two miles in 18 minutes, though. No records broken here, but definitely a sweat. Any advice for extreme pain in the lower back? I could have probably squeaked out another half mile if it weren't for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members shnoodle Posted October 1, 2009 Members Share Posted October 1, 2009 Just got back from running today as well. Funny enough, I ran 3 miles in 27 minutes. Looks like we would make some damn fine running mates Kabaalk:thu: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See a doctor and go from there, could be anything from bad arches to a bad back. Are you leaning over as you run? Running on a hard road? old, worn out or bad fitting shoes?? First I would see a doctor and have them look at you and make sure it's not more serious. Could be like I've noticed that I get an achey back sometimes from toting this beer belly around. Remember you just trying to stay active, not run a race, don't worry about times, just like drumming, just play or run till your done. Two miles out of the box sounds like pushing it to me. Build up slowly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Kabaalk Posted October 1, 2009 Members Share Posted October 1, 2009 twosticks: I'm already set to hit the chiropractor. I'm told my flat feet could be a cause, but I did just get some brand new shoes. Are there soft roads? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Kabaalk Posted October 27, 2009 Members Share Posted October 27, 2009 Not that I've been terribly diligent about my routine, but I hit three miles tonight, for the first time in my life. On top of 45 minutes of kettlebells, then crunches and situps. Every couple of weeks, I notice that my pants are fitting slightly better. Oh, and I'm told the cause of my back/leg pain is Sciatica - been exercising and stretching it out on top of weekly chiropractor visits. Seems to be doing the trick. Gotta keep it going... those holidays are coming up and I don't want to have to refuse any pie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Stark Posted October 27, 2009 Members Share Posted October 27, 2009 In trying to get back to running 2 miles a day, so I've started running half a mile 3x a day. Next week it'll be 3/4 mile; I just wanted to start slow. Wish me luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members louied78 Posted October 27, 2009 Members Share Posted October 27, 2009 I dropped sodas recently and replaced them with gatorade. I drive between towns a lot for work and was real surprised when I started actually gaining more weight. turns out drinking gatorade when your not being super active is pretty fatening. Chaulk full of carbs. Just be careful what you replace those sodas with. Water seems to be the only way out. Or unsweetened tea or coffe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members aenemated Posted October 27, 2009 Members Share Posted October 27, 2009 i've been known to run to the liquor store at 1:45am. ... yeah, that's about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Kabaalk Posted October 27, 2009 Members Share Posted October 27, 2009 turns out drinking gatorade when your not being super active is pretty fatening. Unless you are in the middle of working out, gatorade is bad for you. Before, after, or at any time other than during a strenuous athletic event. Water's good. I actually started drinking green tea with honey at work with my water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, if you're running gatorade can be very good for replacing fluids and electrolytes, just be careful to only drink it after the run because it has too many carbs and sugars to digest during a hard run, so you'll just end up puking.

Members Kabaalk Posted October 27, 2009 Members Share Posted October 27, 2009 For me, anything going in would make me puke while running. I thought it was the same for everyone else... little sips if anything while exercising. Gulping maybe if you're sitting on a bench taking a breather.

Oh yeah, on shorter runs when my pace is up I can't drink, I thought you meant long, slower runs like 7 miles or more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
