So I went to group for the first time in a couple of months, and it has gotten even smaller two whole people - wow. When I said at the start of this blog I thought I would be the only one left sitting in the room, I am not to far off on it.
But going to group gives me new rants, so I am thinking to keep up with the blog the group just has to be a part of it so I can rant...
So we were talking about my exercise and I said that I was swimming more now then doing some of the other exercises, and I was informed with great authority that I should mix up the exercise because my body gets used to one exercise and will stop losing weight with it.
Now I do know many people believe in cross training, but "you need to cross train because your body gets used to an exercise and won't lose weight because you have adapted to the higher level of exercise." I always thought that was called getting in shape. Yes as you get stronger it gets easier, so what you were doing before won't burn as many calories, but it will still burn the calories that you output. And if you keep the intensity up with the workouts then you will I presume get the same caloric burn. I am no medical doctor but even so call me crazy but I have never heard of your body getting used to an exercise and not lose weight because of it.
I just don't know. Save me from those who do.

Can I shoot them?
ReplyDeleteWould you like me to bring back some wild boar tusks from Dye Creek & we can take care of the folks. Exercise & burning calories work. I did the Nordic Track for many years & I did have to increase the intensity a bit & the time, but it worked.
Go T3 (by the way, please don't get so far behind on the blogs - I'll write more interesting responses if you're current).
