Title: how can i get my wind back??
Post by: judochoke on April 24, 2011, 01:28:01 PM
im 54, weigh in at 260, and strong as a ox. but, i have to climb 5 flights of stairs everyday to get to a roof top to check out some air conditioning. by the time i get to the roof, im really breathing hard. i cant talk for about 2 minutes as i keep walking on the roof. i finally get my breath back, and im fine.

i lift 5 days a week, for 50 minutes. i end each work out with 10 minutes on the treadmill, probally slow running for 6 minutes and 4 minutes of fast walking.

(its not much cardio i know) should i drop a lifting day and make it a staight cardio day? should i run outside, or is the teadmill ok. shoud i do interval training on the treadmill? or just try and run as long as i can? thanks for any info.

You need to elevate your heart rate for at least 15-20 minutes to get any cardiovascular benefits.  10 minutes of slow running is fine for burning some kcals but you probably aren't getting any adaptational benefits from it.

Try cycling maybe?  15-20 minutes of moderate running is tough for a 260-pounder.

What exactly does "260 and strong as an Ox "mean?Are you 40% bodyfat and can bench 190?

yeah, and if you're so strong (like an ox  ::)), you're 54, you're 260lbs and you know everything about building that mass, I'm sure you know thing or two about doing some god damn fucking cardio! Just go run some hills, swim... do that 2-3 times a week, sprint, you will get your wind back  ::)

this man is 54 years old, 260lbs solid steel and strong like an ox, but he has no idea how to do cardio, please help him, he's been living in a bodybuilding dungeon his whole life! What are the odds.

Get a cardio monitor, I like the ones that strap around the chest and send to a wrist display.  Do cardio of your choice,...I prefer a ten speed bicycle mounted on a "wind trainer", mine is a squirrel cage fan connected to the back wheel,...put it in front of a TV, with DVDs of your choice,...raise your heart rate to a mere 130 beats a minute for only five minutes the first day, use a timer so you don't be a clock watcher.

Wait a day, then do it again for 6 minutes, wait a day and so forth, adding one minute each time.  After several weeks you are going thirty to forty minutes non stop,...now you start raising your heart rate a little each time until its around 150-170 beats a minute,...when you are doing 30-40 minutes at 150-170 a minutes every other day,...those stairs won't mean much...
It's important to have the TV with programming you enjoy,...no tedium then.

This.

Drop 20-40lbs, gain piles of athleticism.  Also, as with anything, practice, I'd be tons of boring steady state cardio if I were in your shoes, adding a bit, till I was satisfied with my conditioning.

That looks like 2 high school freshmen who joined the wrestling team with no prior experience or any kind of athleticism.

I know plenty of these type of douchebags who live and breathe ufc and tapout tshirts but should really put their talents into "motorsports" and drinking beers in the backwoodss while slinging mud in their lifted 4x4

I can't believe you kids are telling a 260lb. 54 year old man to do wind sprints. Are you trying to kill him?

First of all you are to big. Unless you are 6'6".  You rarely see a 260lb 70 year old alive. Second you could have a serious blockage of one or more of your arteries.  Get a walking stress ekg.  Maybe a 64 slice artery scan of your arteries.

If the doctor gives you the ok start walking fast on a treadmill. See if you can walk at 3.8 mph.  If that's to fast, work out the speed for yourself.  First quarter mile lap do 3.8 on a level elevation.  Second lap at 1% elevation. Third at 2%.  The goal is to see how far up the elevation ladder you can get. 

Say you get to your third quarter mile lap a 2% and your getting close to exhaustion. Make your final lap  on level elevation for your final lap. Your goal eventually is to make it up to elevation 12% by going up 1% for every quarter mile. Do the work out a minimum of 4 times a week.

I ran track in high school and college. I severly hurt my arm a while back and I couldn't run because the jarring hurt my arm. I did the above workout to level 12% almost every day.  When the arm was out of the sling I went for a run.  I ran like a deer being chased by a mountain lion.  Walking can kick your ass if done right.

At your age don't be concerned so much with strength that you neglect conditioning.

im 54, weigh in at 260, and strong as a ox. but, i have to climb 5 flights of stairs everyday to get to a roof top to check out some air conditioning. by the time i get to the roof, im really breathing hard. i cant talk for about 2 minutes as i keep walking on the roof. i finally get my breath back, and im fine.

i lift 5 days a week, for 50 minutes. i end each work out with 10 minutes on the treadmill, probally slow running for 6 minutes and 4 minutes of fast walking.

(its not much cardio i know) should i drop a lifting day and make it a staight cardio day? should i run outside, or is the teadmill ok. shoud i do interval training on the treadmill? or just try and run as long as i can? thanks for any info.

When you are short of breath/breathing heavily, do you breath whistle? If so, you could have asthma of COPD. Stop smoking, get some treatment, you be fine.

54 and 260?  Brotha,trust me when I tell you,any one that is that big at that age is not sprinting..
 Lose weight.. Unless you need to be that big for whatever reason(strongman,pro bodybuilder),you will have that problem forever.. You can be 225/230 and still be the biggest strongest guy around.. You will also feel better..

Definitely lean out like everyone is saying.  You could drop down to 225-230 and not loose much of that strength.  Also do interval training to get your heart rate up and cut down.  Keep it up, I hope I'm still doing this at 54
