Training for health

[YouKnowWho]

- Weight lifting can develop your bone, muscle, structure, and add weight.
- Running can develop your lung, heart, leg muscle, endurance, and lose weight.

Both are good for health. If you only have time to do one and not both,

- Which one will you prefer?
- Which one do you think that can help you to live longer?
- Why?

its not either or its how you set the programme up:
weights can be used to develop the heart, the lunges (whatever that means) the leg muscles, help with endurance and also weight loss, the question should be what makes you think weights cant do that and only running can?

Neither, I'll stick to chi kung. That's not to say running or lifting isn't a good test of progress though because it is.

Flame On!

Reading comprehension please
he never mentioned a marathon he said - Running can develop your lung, heart, leg muscle, endurance, and lose weight.
And i said the question should be what makes you think lifting weights can’t do these things and only running can??

There are 3 types of running:
Short
Middle
Long distance.

There are MANY types of ST protocols that will give you the same "cardio" benefits of those ( NOT the task SPECIFIC benefits) with the added factor of weight bearing exercises which are very good for your bones.

In short, IF specificity is NOT important than weight training with whatever parameters you want to follow, is far better than "just running".

what makes you think weights cant do that and only running can?

When I say running, I mean "long distance running" such as 10 K (6 miles) average.

When I trained my 1st marathon, I could see my body shrank in the mirror so I know "long distance running" is good for weight lost.

When I say "lung", I mean breathing ability. When I did my long distance running, I could do TCMA form without hard breathing. So I know it can help my lung (breathing) and endurence.

Running can give you healthy heart. No need explaination there.

Since leg is what you are using, you will get a pair of strong legs.

Can weight lifting be able to achieve that? I don't know. I don't see many people in the gym who sweat and breath hard like runner does.

PROBLEM SOLVED

i think if you had to pick one activity strictly for health reasons out of the two, i would say running. simply because almost every single runner i know that runs distance is in great health. not so for every weight lifter i know.

not to say that weight training wont keep you in great health, because it can and will. but over all the results ive seen from people who do happen to go to the extreme: ie; runners that dont lift, and lifters that dont run distance.

i think tho the best thing you could do is just have regular long sessions of crazy wild sex. this will keep you in good shape, you can get cardio and weight lifting aspects in, you can relieve stress, and make your woman happy (which adds years onto your life in and of itself) you can keep your flexibility up, range of motion, balance, etc. its pretty much the full meal deal.

I like how you think my good sir!

Greetings,

In NYC, I would say that 96 to 98% of the joggers out here should not be jogging. They do not have the musculature for it and are setting themselves up for shin, knee and hip injuries. They would be much better off walking briskly.

Those that I have seen who can jog have a very good musculature and great legs to begin with. Earlier this year I saw a Chinese lady jog, rickshaw style (somewhat similar to the running step seen in Long Fist styles). She really had it going on. Each step was followed by a leaping float into the next step. Her form was so beautiful. And she had the legs to do it.

After an hour of running, I feel worn out and my joints will ache the next day.

After an hour of lifting, I feel relaxed and I have a lot of pep the next day.

I do both, but I usually do long runs once a week at most.

If put on a basic, strength lifting program, chubby people lose the chub, and skinny people fill out naturally.

Daily thai pad sessions will help you to lose weight quickly.
