how can i get my wind back??
« 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.

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.

"I still have some abs" - you certainly do.  too bad there's about 20 lbs of fat covering them.  ;D

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.
