Weekly diary to fitness
by Lt. Col. William Slaughter
Most non-runners support their dedication with
statements like, ‘Running hurts my knees," I'm not
built for running,‘ or "Look what happened to Jim
Fixx."
For those who show externally they enjoy the
benefits of an easy lifestyle, but know that they
really should get in shape,there's good news.
There’s another activity that helps attain and
maintain an ideal weight, and gives some protection
against those life - and health - threatening
maladies like heart disease. It's called walking.
I don't mean walking to the car or around the
house doing daily chores. I mean the kind that takes
people away from the daily hassles and gets their
hearts and lungs, as well as the rest of the body,
moving at a respectable sweat-producing pace.
To be an effective program, walking must be
frequent, long and fast enough to produce aerobic
effects. A chart taken from Dr. Kenneth Cooper's
aerobic program gives a good idea of what is
needed.
Dr. Cooper is the father of aerobic exercise, and
his chart is designed for people in reasonably good
shape. If a person hasn't exercised for quite a
while, is overweight, or has other problems that
inhibit exercising at these levels, he/she needs to
start at a lower level and improve progressively.
Before beginning any exercise program, he/she
should check with their doctor.
Most people will be pleasantly surprised at the
results achieved from a- regular walking program.
One enjoyable result is being able to snicker at the
next' runner who complains Ibudly about suffering
from plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendonitis, or
runner’s knee.
