Will this be enough to maintain basic running fitness?

I've been struggling with running lately and suddenly my endurance has taken a big hit. I think exercise induced asthma may be the culprit and I'm seeing my doctor this week. Until I figure out what's the cause I'm managing to do 2 mile runs and eventually I'll build up to what I was doing before (15 miles/week with the hopes of improving this). Will these 2 mile runs help maintain basic running fitness or should I try to up it or cross-train?Will this be enough to maintain basic running fitness?At least you should take off two weeks a year from running just to rest and recover. You can row, cycle,swim,walk,or cross country ski. Weight training with light weights and high reps is a good idea too.After two weeks, try a two mile run.If it feels good, go three times a week. Then start increasing your distance by 10% a week one day a week and then do your two mile runs twice a week. try to avoid treadmills.They do not work opposing muscles. From a soldier in Alberta.Will this be enough to maintain basic running fitness?You will probably be okay in terms of basic fitness. Cross training probably isn't a bad idea though, in addition to the running.Will this be enough to maintain basic running fitness?You are doing just great, people living with asthma should start slow and work their way into the workout and cool down is also very important. With extended worm up and cool down, you should do fine.

What is the best home fitness equipment to purchase for daily use?

I'd like something that i can actually get a work out with while whatching my favorite shows. I want something decent and not an outragous price. Main thing i want something i can stick to and that will give me a workout. I'm female so i'm looking to work out the lower part of the body more then anything!What is the best home fitness equipment to purchase for daily use?I suggest an exercise bike, because you can work out at a high intensity on it while watching TV, it provides a good workout for your lower body, and you can find them at whatever price fits your budget. Another good choice would be an elliptical trainer, but these tend to be more expensive. You can set the incline and resistance on these to specifically target thighs or hip. Here is a good intro to choosing an elliptical trainer:

I wouldn't suggest a treadmill, because it would be hard to run on it unless you devote your full attention, and if you walk on it at a lower intensity, it probably won't help very much in toning your lower body.What is the best home fitness equipment to purchase for daily use?first thing in mind is a bowflex, i do hear it has great results.

What is best way of getting strong without losing cardovascular fitness?

I am 21, slim build, 5'10" and about 160/170lbs. I do a lot of running (c.8 miles per night, lasting 1 hour) and consider myself of above average fitness.



I was hoping someone could advise me as to how I might seriously inprove upper body strength (particularly in my upper arms) without having to sacrifice my cardiovascular fitness- getting big/strong seems to mean that aerobic exercise of forgotten?



EG, big weight training is burnt off by the running, therefore negating one another- is there another option?



By the way, for reference I am concerned about my strength and health, NOT appearance...gaining mass/definition is secondary to getting strong.



Thanks!What is best way of getting strong without losing cardovascular fitness?I think this site will answer your question in its entirety. Read some articles.

Ross Enamait has a boxing background, but you can use the same principles to workout for your own goals. Boxers need to have great cardio and strength to be effective.



In the article about "hardcore training" Ross gets gains in strength and mass while maintaining his cardio.

Weight training will not come in ur way of retaining endurance.What is best way of getting strong without losing cardovascular fitness?I'm no expert so I would suggest you consult a trainer. You can also check out the information on exercie here. Maybe you can find a few more answers.What is best way of getting strong without losing cardovascular fitness?
I would suggest a cardio exercise that resists your upper body. Rowing would be the best. However this doesnt exercise all your muscles. If you want strength all over then you need to go on all the machines, 3 sets of 10 - 20 reps and move on to get an all over strength.



Combine this with your running.



I run, have done several 3:15 marathons in the last 2 years.My current training is every other night a long run, then in between the gym - 5 mins row or 10 mins fast run to warm up, then weights then cycle to warm down and then a swim. Include leg weights as well, that will help with running.



Seems to work - just did a 39 min 10k run at the weekend and am getting stronger I thinkWhat is best way of getting strong without losing cardovascular fitness?Calculate your maximum lift - what you can lift without straining badly, one time. Now calculate what 30% of that weight is. Do this for each different lift - curl, press etc. Do 15-20 reps and 3 sets leaving two days rest in between. Also holding weights in a locked position are good for stamina and strength. For example lift a weight above your head and hold it there until you break form.What is best way of getting strong without losing cardovascular fitness?
To improve grip you really need hand grips. With regard to weights, you need to hit the muscle groups in quick succession as this will raise your heart rate and will not make you bulky. I do 8 reps on each piece of weight equipment on a high weight. It is far more tiring than long sets of reps. I also row which helps to develop the upper body. I find that maintaining a stroke rate of between 21-26 strokes per minute and a time of around 2min30sec per 500m works for me, but I am a girl so your stroke rate should probably be 18-24 and your time 2min15sec per 500m. Build up to doing 5000m per week. You could also try spinning as some of the exercises involve upper body work. Or swimming. Combining all these things should help.

How can I improve my fitness using a bike?

I've just got a mountain bike and I want to use it to become fitter and lose some excess weight. I'm in my 20's and I've not done any kind of physical exercise in 8-10 years. I'd like to aim to be able to ride in the London to Bristol event next year (56 miles). Is this do-able for a novice? Can you point me to a website with any good solo training programmes? My plan is to start going out and doing 3 miles a day increasing this in increments of a 2 miles a week. Until I can comfortably do 30 miles in three hours - what do you reckon?How can I improve my fitness using a bike?Forget about miles right now and ride in terms of time. Start by riding for a minimum of 1/2 hour a day, and ride at a pace that keeps your heart rate (HR) in the aerobic training zone. This zone is classified as about 70% of your maximum herat rate. You can get a reasonable guess of your maximum by using the formula of 220 minus your age. Therefore, if you're 20, then your max will be about 200, and 70% of that will be 140. You can get cheap heart rate monitors that use a chest strap and a bike mount. I would recommend this highly. Go to a aporting goods store and ask for cheap basic models, you don't need the ones that have alarms, zones, calories, or bike computer functions (yet).



In order to keep your HR in the right zone, use your gears wisely. If you see your HR getting to high, shift to an easier gear, and avoid steep or long hills.



On the weekends, try a longer ride, say 60 to 90 minutes. but don't let your heart rate get above the 70% mark. Remember, you're trying to build endurance, not power.



After about a month of this - or at least 20 hours of total bike time, you can start to mix things up. Three nights a week go for one hour rides at the 70% HR pace, the other two go for 30 to 45 minutes, but do a few hard efforts that push your heart rate up to 85 to 90%, but not for more than a few mintues at a time.

Try to get 3-4 hours total in on the weekends, again keeping your heart rate not much more than 70%. At this time you should also bee looking for riding parters, ask about biking clubs in your area. You're much more likely to stick with it if you're amoung friends.



Don't ride if you feel excessively tired or are sick. Don't try to 'make up the time' - if you miss a day, or two, just stick with the schedule. Catching up on riding is like catching up on sleep, it doesn't work.



If you follow a plan similar to the above, you'll be able to do your 56 miler by the end of the summer unless you're in the 'obese' category or you have other health problems. If so, don't do anything until you consult a doctor.How can I improve my fitness using a bike?get on your bike and ride it do not se excuses to not.

It may seem like a lot at first, but 3 miles is very easy on a bike, Without anymore experience than biking 2 miles to school everyday for a few months, I completed a 50 mile ride on my mountain bike. You should start by riding 10-20 miles, or finding some nice hills or mountains to ride. Push your limits the best you can.

I have alot of work to do now as I am not in shape at all YET :-), but I want to do this to learn more about overall wellness and fitness and this way I will always be involved in working out, living better and healthier. Any good advice would be greatly appreciated!! Thanks.I want to know how I can get into the fitness industry? I want to become a fitness instr./presonal trainer?There are a lot of organizations you can go through to become a fitness professional. First you need to decide want you want to do. Do you want to be solely a personal trainer? Or do you want to teach groups like pilates and yoga. Once you decide, then you can choose the right organization. Of course I recommend NETA (National Exercise Trainers Association). That's who I work with. However if you do a yahoo search for personal trainer certification, you will find many organizations to train and certify you. Hopes this helps. Also you should look into institutional training. You can become a health educator, a nutritionist or dietitian through on-line study or regular classroom instruction. Touro University International has a great health education program. Fitness is a booming industry, and will be around!!!I want to know how I can get into the fitness industry?
