If biking is so much harder for you as you claim, how can you bike with asthma?
Ah, young man, but wait until your bones begin to creak and running hurts more than it helps.I have had injuries in the past, but I fear that I will be no longer able to run. Bah.
Walking must now be my friend and I am determined to love it.
I keep hearing and reading lately that running is so much better for fitness than walking, but those of us with arthritis will have to settle for walking. Though I don't do casual strolls. I walk as fast as I can while pushing a stroller and for about 4 miles at a time. That and my little strength training routine are working as far as weight loss (and toning) for me.
It's been said that lifelong runners/joggers will pay the price in knee and hip replacements as they age. No thanks! I'll stick with walking, too
I always wished I could run. It looks so freeing and fun.
I am don't have your typical runners body at 6 feet 2, 220 pounds.
Common reasons why decline squats are often prescribed:
Research has shown eccentric decline boards squat, led by the research by Alfredson[1] to be the most effective researched approach to manage PT[2] (a very tricky injury). Decline squats have been shown to be superior over an identical exercise therapy protocol perform on the flat ground[2], compared to transverse friction and pulsed ultrasound[3], and compared to a concentric only decline board protoco[1]l.
Causes an inflammatory response to promote healing, bringing blood flow into a low vascular area, stimulate fibroblast to aid in collagen repair and synthesis.

...As incredible as it sounds, that's what the evidence is showing. For psychologist Traci Mann, who has spent 20 years running an eating lab at the University of Minnesota, the evidence is clear. "It couldn't be easier to see," she says. "Long-term weight loss happens to only the smallest minority of people." ...Only about five per cent of people who try to lose weight ultimately succeed, according to the research. Those people are the outliers, but we cling to their stories as proof that losing weight is possible. "Those kinds of stories really keep the myth alive," says University of Alberta professor Tim Caulfield....

I never have, Hetta, but I already know that I use food as an emotional crutch. I've kept food logs before, and found it helpful to realize just how many calories get snuck in each day via snacks and drinks and such. I've also got serious portion control issues. Even if I'm eating something healthy, I have to fight the urge to have like, a double portion. I'm addicted to feeling "full", so I tend to eat more than I need because if I don't feel full, I feel like something's wrong. But I'm becoming much more aware of this, and now I'm starting to make conscious choices to take less, even if every fiber of my being is screaming "NO, TAKE MORE! You'll be hungry! It's not enough!" Sigh. I've used the act of eating, and especially the sensation of eating till I'm full, as a sort of coping drug throughout my life. And the ironic thing is, when I do make the conscious choice to eat a normal-sized portion, I almost always feel completely satisfied afterwards, I don't feel like I was deprived. So it's really a mental/brain thing, not a hunger thing. Sad, isn't it? At least now I'm aware, and able to fight back. This is why compulsive eating and other food addictions are so complex and so much more than just a matter of "changing habits". There are underlying mental and emotional and psychological factors at work that need to be addressed.
My husband is going through this right now. He's a "Clean your plate...And everyone else's!" kinda guy and he's trying to feel out the difference between "full" and "oh, I'm bursting, can't move!"
