A little bit different then sitting down for 45 minutes at a restaurant or a 3-4 hour indoor social gathering. I wouldn't say a field storming is brief. But I agree, it's private gatherings that are mostly driving this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 Tuesdays often suck for deaths with the weekend lag in reporting, and today is no different. Over 100 in IN. I think that is only the 2nd time that has happened in the state during the entire pandemic. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too bad some people take offense so easily. This is not about fat shaming at all. It's about trying to save lives, because there are plenty of people that don't know about the weight issue with Covid. not taking your advice until you tell me what your resting heart rate is...and, is it elite athlete level? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously heart/lung health is especially critical during this pandemic, because we know that this virus attacks the heart and lungs of many people. Most people that die from this virus die because the lungs or heart give out. So this isn't just about the weight issue ... exercise strengthens the heart and lungs which reduces the chance of dying from Covid. So it's just another reason why exercise can help during the pandemic. There's no question there would be much less deaths if more people exercised. And again I just do not understand why anyone would take offense over medical advice that can help reduce hospitalizations and deaths during a pandemic. Most people don't take offense, but a small percentage of people do. They misunderstand it for fat shaming or trolling, but it isn't those things at all. Talk to any doctor and they will tell you that exercise reduces risk of having severe problems with Covid. Obviously it doesn't eliminate it, but it reduces it which is a good thing. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let myself go after getting married for a few years and decided to change that. You actually don't need to work out at all to lose weight. Its a very simple equation. Calculate your maintenance calories to maintain your current weight and subtract however amount of calories you need to from that to start losing weight. It's calories in vs calories out. This calculator will tell you how many calories you need to eat to maintain your current weight, lose weight, or gain weight. https://www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-lifestyle/weight-loss/in-depth/calorie-calculator/itt-20402304 Obviously exercise helps, but you honestly don't need it. Diet is by far the most important aspect of losing weight. Everyone is different. I lost 30 pounds through exercise alone. My diet was pretty good, but I was gaining weight as the years went by as my metabolism slowed down. Then I started running, and after 4 or 5 months the 30 pounds was gone. If I go out for a 7 mile run, that burns about 800 calories. If I do it 5 days a week, that's about 4000 calories burned in a week. That explains how you can lose 30 pounds in several months with exercise and not changing the diet. Of course you can do it with mainly diet and no exercise too, as you said. But some people don't like the idea of eating much less and being hungry all the time. I'd rather eat a little more and go out there and burn 800 calories with a run. Also, studies show that most people don't keep lost weight off if they did it through diet alone, but they do keep it off if they do it through a combo of diet and exercise. Obviously because you can burn off extra calories with extra exercise if you slip up and eat a little more than you're supposed to. So I'd say diet and exercise are equally important.

WaryWarren Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 Running is awful on your joints in the long run. Walking a few miles per day is the best, if you're privileged enough to squeeze that into your day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walking a few miles per day is the best, if you're privileged enough to squeeze that into your day. Running actually cured my knee pain. I used to have a lot of pain, but it stopped after I started running. Probably because exercise is a strong anti inflammatory. Walking is great for many people, but it doesn't do a lot (as far as cardio workout) for people that have very strong hearts. I have to run to get my heart rate up.

Malacka11 Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 That is frighteningly low. As a semi-elite athlete (I actually am pretty fast) I have yet to meet one runner with a heart rate below 40. Mine is actually around 60, it just doesn't increase as much as other people's heart rates under stress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A small percentage of athletes are able to get their resting heart rates into the 30s. It just means the heart is so strong that it can circulate blood to the body well by beating an unusually low amount of times. You can look it up ... some athletes do get resting heart rates into the 30s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought you exercised either just a little. My bad No problem. Before I started running, my resting heart rate was 50. Lower than average, but not super low. Funny thing I was actually very worried about that. You go online and read about bradycardia being a resting heart rate under 60. I was having terrible panic attacks over it, so I went to the cardiologist. After examination he told me it was low because I have an extra strong heart, and told me I was probably one of those people that can get it into the 30s with an exercise program. He told me I should, so I did. The running ended the panic attack problem, thankfully. I like running 7 miles, so I'm running about quarter marathon distance. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
