TR vs the future

<p>I do hammy curls on the swiss ball then straight into those hip thrusts/extensions. I keep my arms in a bit more so you really have to work your core to stay stable.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>These are fantastic ahead of a deadlift session - really gets the hammies firing nicely.</p> -
Ah ok, yeah seen them, I need to do more hip flexor exercises especially as one side is much less flexible than the other. <br><br>
Was a couple of other good clips on the side bar of that one. -
<p>we bought a pretty decent treadmill...</p>
<p> </p>
<p>20min run, it tells me I only did 3.1km, which doesnt seem right as I certainly felt like I was moving along at a decent pace, although when I went on real bigger flasher one at a gym a few weeks back, I ran for about 26mins and it said I had only done 4km, so either treadmill distance measuring thingee is out, or my GPS watch is...I'm actually inclined to think the treadmills measure distance the differently for some reason as I have run known distances on the road and a track and know my time was much better than the treadmills told me (about 6.30per/km)</p>
<p> </p>
<p>So it will be more a thing of trying to run 5km in under 30mins on the treadmill and increasing my speed/distance</p> -
<p>Can you increase the incline? I'm not 100% sure but I wonder if that factors in the speed/distance calcs? only know that I crank my treadmill sessions up to 2 or 2.5, otherwise you are kind of bouncing up and down/not using your calves to push forward etc.</p>

I guess there is a difference on muscles between the ground moving below you on the mill and pushing off to move over the ground when outdoors. When I used to run, I found treadmills much better for avoiding injury - especially my back. Lower impact, slightly cushioned, even surface etc must be better for the joints.
-
Yeah it has incline, which I only had set on 2 or 3, which isn't a lot, but when I road run I sit around 4.50-5.25mins per km, which is on up/down, but this says I am doing well over 6, despite me feeling I am going along quickly. <br><br>
I read an article (in a magazine, not the Internet, so it's gotta be true) following studies that had shown running on a treadmill is better for you and will achieve better results than normal running due to your sub conscious being more focussed on a treadmill than out running where there are distractions...plus it is better on your joints and I can watch tv :)<br><br>
I hate road running, but really enjoy trail running, having to focus on your footing on uneven ground, just a lot more challenging. -

<p>Did a workout about an hour ago, which included push ups, so chest probably still a bit pumped...</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Workout consisted of Box jumps, push ups, ez bar curls, seated rows, mountain climbers x 5</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Finished with a 400m run on the treadmill at speed 15 (almost tops speed) on incline 4; that was a killer way to finish! </p> -

<p>I'm anti running because I'm really shit at it and my back is fooked. Injuries aside though I'd rate it as the no.1 exercise for losing weight.</p>

<p> </p>
<p>Yes for losing "weight" but some of that will be muscle. That's why most runners look like telephone poles.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>High intensity interval training I reckon is best for losing fat an keeping muscle. Short bouts of extremely high effort. That 400m run is pretty good for that but probably at the longer end of what you should be doing.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Think sprinter vs long distance runner. Know which one I'd rather look like!</p> -
<p>well I can tell you I have no intention of getting to my 'normal' BMI, which is when I'd be looking emaciated!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I just wanna lose a bit of the insulation round my middle, which I expect the high intensity stuff I am doing, 'should' go some way to achieving</p>
<p>As I said above, I especially like trail running, but not fussed on road running, treadmill is in the middle I guess, but easier due to its accessibility.</p> -
Yeah - I'm not necessarily talking about long distance running, just running to shed a few kg. Just a theory but I reckon if you did high intensity intervals on treadmill vs HI on a bike for same time you would burn more calories on the mill. Maybe doing burpees for same time would even better but I wouldn't wish that on anyone!
-
<p>I tried a few burpees onto the box too, I decided they suck!</p>
