Give me a museum and I'll fill it. (Picasso) Give me a forum ...
That's what I'm thinking. I know these combination weight exercises - holding dumbells - lunge step back, hammer curl, shoulder press, step back up, repeat alternating legs.mb said:Audrey, the article implies that you can use any type of excersie. Running, swimming, biking, etc. I think that it is the intensity the counts. Also I (don't know but) suspect that it has to be something that uses large muscle groups. Thirty seconds of curls for example will give help your biceps but I doubt that it would activate the effect that the article describes whereas I suspect that 30 seconds of squats would do it.
Also - lunge holding dumbells - then lift knee high, then back into lunge.
I get pretty winded doing these kinds of things! My knees seem to be able to take it.
I strength trained twice a week with a personal trainer for over two years. We would often do weight sets that were on the verge of anaerobic. I noticed that even though my aerobic exercise regimen during that time was fairly modest, my aerobic fitness seemed to increase quite a bit.
My lifestyle is mobile now (live in motorhome). It's made the "structured exercise" a little more challenging.
