liisi I met an old man at the gym today. He was there with his grandson who was a very lively little kid. I was on the “bike” and he started chatting, giving some advice about how to train, lose weight and said his opinion about worlds’ biggest problems today. He had been a masseuse of sportsman whole his life, thus I guess his words have some value. Let me round them up for you (and me):
* Worlds’ biggest problem is hunger on one side and over eating on the other side – there are just as many persons in hunger as there is obese people.
* You should always eat what you want – pushing yourself not to eat makes your brain ask for the thing you try not to eat. (I went and bought some doughnuts after that :))
* When you train and want to lose weight, what you want to reach is a lack of oxygen for a moment – in that way you don’t feel hungry after training. His suggestion:
– 30 minutes of warm up
– run 200m as fast as you can to be out of breath
– take 5 minutes to relax – after that run 6x60m as fast as you can, having short breaks to catch your breath
* Walking can be better than running, if you run with little power. What you want to do is do kind of a power-walk, moving your body all the time, like pushing yourself off the ground.
* Eat porridge every morning – not the quick ones that you just add water and keep it under lid for a minute, but the ones you have to take time to make. Never re-heat the porridge, it has to be fresh.
* Have 10-second-breaks when working with computer. On these ten seconds stretch your chest and back by moving shoulders back and forth.
I think these are valuable tips by an old sportsmans’ masseuse. I will try to follow some of them at least.
It is good to be back on training, I even found out that they hava shotokan karate and kata specific trainings in the same building. Might get my dream of competing in a kata competition one day.
For healthier living!
