now, now, to be fair i was just jumping in on the scatalogical bandwagon. i
dont agree with the "weight" advice that was given but it is pretty much
what is preached by the mainstream...the rest of Ed's advice was ok
though...and he did preface it with saying he didnt know much about it...

the ankle/wrist weights do not significantly increase the calorie burn.

Consider if you add a total of 4pounds of weights, you increase you
total mass by only 2%. Running instead of walking will be more
important.

Yeah but this is "daed weight'. The wiehgt arn't muscles so its like they
wiegh more.

Quoted message said:

And running those weights cause the balance of your legs and arms to
change. Will it directly injure you, may be not. But it may cause you
to have a poor running form which can lead to injuries long term.

I've got good balance for someone my size and I jog on soft ground - I tried
it last night and I'm only a bit sore.

Exactly

SO lose the jogging weights and just run/walk, increasing the run

I only have halkf and hour a day.

You've already got enough dead weight. And you're already slow, inefficient,
and injury prone enough.

That's a non-sequiter. Good balance or not, using the weights isn't a good
strategy.

Exactly

So if you're finding it too easy, speed up until your heart rate increases. No
hand weights required. I don't think you'll need to run that fast for it to
happen.

You're not getting it. When you start, you alternate 30 seconds run with 30
rest. Do that for half an hour. As your fitness improves, you can do 40
running to 20 walking, etc.

You can burn more calories by increasing the pace.

Never heard of a good distance runner do this. The athletes who do this

Those guys have high injury rates. And they're not fatasses.

Well being in the army and being out on a soccer for half and hour are

That would be 'non-sequitur'. Us bus drivers get to read the comics every day :o)

So when will I find time to do wieghts then. Can I lose 36 lbs just by running half and hour a day? How long will this take if I don;t change anything else? How about running in boots instead to add weight? Maybe if I wet my tack suit before I go out!
