Reaching mac heart rate while jogging

Bump

Dude if that's the case you're not ready for jogging.

Get your diet under control and cut til you're a reasonable weight. Walk until that point, then do a couch-to-5k program.

And quit smoking. If you don't have the willpower to knock that shit off, you might as well kill yourself.

1/10 for getting me to reply. Weak bait but I'm killing time.

As he said.

if your fat DO NOT jog, you're gonna fuck your knees
walk around, do elliptical, stairmaster, walk uphill, go swimming. these are much easier on the knees

Don't exercise.

Just change your diet.

Read the sticky on that.

>>40169768
Eat less and do light cardio, walk, swim, bike.

I don't think I'm fat enough to fuck up my knees. I am about 112 kg at 6' height.

Atm on cardio days doing 2 min jog and 8 min incline walk.

Thanks, I'll see if i can change to this routine.

stop smoking and start eating well. diet is more important than excersize in burning fat and smoking is a degenerate hobby

I suggest that you first stop smoking.
Secondly eat less. No I'm not bullshitting you. EAT LESS.
Just not drinking anything except water and up to a gallon a day of it will see almost instant changes in your fat ass body.
Lastly, you're too goddamned fat too run.
Walk for 30min-1hour a day and get off your ass and move more. Most of your calories are burned when you do things that AREN'T exercising.
Did you know that?
It and having no idea about what calories are is what seperates the people who are all I CANT GAIN ANYWEIGHT NO MATTER WHAT and the people who are all I EAT A CARROT STICK AND GAIN 15 POUNDS!

Smoke while you run so your blood vessels stay relaxed.

Eat while you lift so it helps clear the lactic acid.

>I am about 112 kg at 6' height.
you're too fat for it.

only walk for 2 minutes each day and increase it by 30 seconds after 2 days.

read the sticky on diet, without a proper diet you're fucked for life.

Swimming really helped for me, no impact and the fat keeps you afloat, until you start loosing weight and being lazy in the water gets harder and harder.

Former fatty. 253 lbs down to 175~ now

First off, I encourage you to stop smoking because of how terrible it is for you.

You'll start by limiting all of the calories that you DRINK. This is soda, juice, gatorage, teas (snapple), milkshakes. You should only drink water, hot tea, and coffee. Don't beat yourself up if you have a sugary drink every couple of days - it is a hard habit to kick. Drink a lot of water, you are probably mildly dehydrated and will benefit from increased fluid intake.

This alone will help you drop some weight and feel better in general.

Next is exercise. Don't try to jog, just go for extended walks 2+ miles at a time. Throw on your headphones and try to enjoy it. If you try jogging or running, you might seriously fuck up your joints or shins. I made this mistake and when I got hurt I reverted back into my old unhealthy habits.

If you feel up for it, start lifting weights. I recommend something simple like starting strength because it is easy to stick with and you will see noticeable progress in strength within a short period of time. If you don't want to lift weight or can't, start a routine of stretching for 20 minutes a day at home. Then do some push ups. Shoot for 50 over the course of the day, then increase it as you feel comfortable. You can do this with 10 sets of 5, 25 sets of 2, or whatever you can manage.

The last step, which should be the first step but is often the hardest to change, is your diet. Immediately cut out any fast food and artificial snacks like potato chips, cheez its, cookies, etc. Substitute with fruit, veggies, cook real burgers at home, cook chicken, basically anything that isn't made with artificial ingredients is the way to go. Again, if you slip up and have a handful of chips once a week don't stress; it's hard to kick habits but in due time you'll stop craving them.

The most important thing to do is change your eating habits. Losing weight and getting fit isn't just going to the gym and watching what you eat, you have to change as a person. You can't just do this for 6 months and quit.

so far i have managed to cut out most drinks - i've only slipped up with a diet coke.

The diet is the hardest to manage - I'm a student and live in student halls, so no kitchen for me. I try to eat mostly salads, fruits and buy chicken foods, like grilled piri piri for example.
