bad for the knees AND shins, just walk fast or go hiking, there's a big heavyset dude in my gym running on the treadmill a lot lately and hasn't lost shit, still as fat as before.

bicycle hits my quads too much and i feel burn in my quads and I am afraid of overtraining my quads. But hey, why not.

Thanx.
I am thinking about it now. But, when it comes to burn my fat, running always gave me a super rapid effect. I think there is a huge difference between treadmill running and running outside. I dont know why. but try it, you will know it.

Kyomu, do you sway your hips just a little too much when you "jog"? You strike me as the type.

Strictly saying, my weight is not 90kg(200lbs) anymore. Today Paco weighted me and that was 87kg. But my knee hurts enough with running. $:-\$

Yep. Running is VERY hard on your knees. I tell this to anyone who will listen. Notice most runners are very skinny. For People with some muscle (i.e. bbers), it's not a good idea. I figure I'll save my knees for leg day.

I dont know, I cant see myself from back

But, swaying hip too much has something to do with knee injury?

There's one at my gym, who's been running for a while. He has lost a LOT of weight. Problem is, he doesn't weight train. So, he's gone from obese, to skinny fat. Has no muscle to speak of, and everything just sags.... $:-\$

i had this before....

playing tennis @ 170 lbs is one thing

jogging at 200-220 is atrocious on your knees

better walk 4cardio

Yeah, when my knee doesnt hurt, my weight was around 75kg. Hell!almost 15kg more now!

Elliptical machines are great. You can go hard, while saving your knees. Try 'em Kyomu.

krendan · « **Reply #16 on:** January 23, 2009, 01:50:58 PM »

how do you run? heels first or do you touch the ground with the toes first? that can make a lot of difference

Maybe you need supplements for your joints? Like glucosamine?

Mmmmm,but this time I would know if 171cm guy with almost 200lbs running is unatural or not.
If its not natural, i should avoid. Simple.

Quaker Oats, have you ever jogged at 300 pounds?

That guy on the treadmill who has lost SHIT must be eating like SHIT. I've been jogging for a few months and have reduced my overall bodyweight from 220 pounds to 172 pounds.. The SHIT DOES work. My joints (knees, ankles, feet, hips) hurt SO BAD when I was jogging at over 200 pounds and even into my 190's, but when I dipped below 193 pounds they stopped hurting...

This Kyomu guy who weighs 200 pounds as 5'7" is still TOO heavy to be jogging, or too WEAK to swallow the pain. Come on, suck it up.

Method101 · « **Reply #23 on:** January 23, 2009, 02:00:59 PM »

get some glucosamine+chondroitin for sure.

btw. Yes 200lbs is alot of stress on the knees. I used to go on 10 mile runs 4 times a week before i even started lifting weights, and it only felt comfortable on my knees when i was around 180lbs @ 6ft.2. If i went running now i would be in pain.

You could try running on grass and use good running trainers.

krendan · « **Reply #24 on:** January 23, 2009, 02:01:17 PM »

try changing your technique then, it will kill your calves first, but it's the right way to do, because by runing on your heels you will stress the knees a lot more
