Razors Edge ★ Posted March 22, 2022 Share #9 Posted March 22, 2022 FTR, 25 - 30 kg of fat is a lot to burn off. I'd recommend an "all hands on deck" approach - build muscle and burn a ton of calories. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MickinMD ★ Posted March 22, 2022 Share #10 Posted March 22, 2022 From my scientific viewpoint, there are two things that most strongly determine fat loss. They are important because you can lose weight by your body burning up carbs, protein, even muscle fiber rather than fat if you don't trigger your body to burn fat. 1) Calories in vs Calories burned: this comes down to diet and exercise. You cannot create or destroy energy, if you burn more than you consume, you'll lose weight - not counting water weight that salt and meds may effect. 2) Exercise duration and type: Covert Bailey's MIT research showed that if you don't get enough exercise, your body's cells and organs send each other chemical signals that burning fat isn't important and there's a decrease in the amount of biochemicals produced by the body to transport and convert fats to energy. This is what is sometimes called "slow metabolism" by people who can't understand why their fat isn't decreasing. But your body keeps generating the large amounts of chemicals to transport and burn carbs and proteins, due to fear and other quick muscle responses that burn carbs and proteins that send chemical signals through the body that the biochemicals needed for carbs and proteins is important. Bailey looked at different types of exercises to get the body back in shape or keep it in shape so that fat burning capabilities become and remain strong. Those that used the most different muscles required less time for each exercise (hopefully at least every-other-day) to get a response from the body to create better fat burn abilities so that a significant amount of fat was burned during exercise. The list below is the reason I make sure I walk at least 40 minutes each time. It's from Bailey's "Smart Exercise" - which was on the NY Times Best Seller List: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me too… when I just walk, my pace is usually 16-19 minutes per mile, and I walk at least 3 miles. Any more than that, though, and my hip joints start to hurt. mr. has to mind his injured foot. We use trekking poles when we hike in the mountains because the terrain is uneven and there’s a lot of elevation change, ie it’s steep. We also go to the gym to lift weights three times a week. He works specific muscle groups, but I do full-body stuff. I want as much burn for least amount of time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My doctor said sticking your butt out like that is really bad for your hips and lower back. When I was part of a women’s weight training program, they had a segment about water loading and posing for optimum muscle tone in photos. Part of the training was to bend backwards at the waist so the butt sticks out, upper thighs separate, and abs lengthen. She’s got it on point. At her age, it’s probably no thing. I hope she keeps more balanced posture when she’s not posing…. Maybe her active vegan life will keep her joints happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have not been especially nice to my hips. Military training, ironman training, extra weight? I have been doing yoga every morning. I feel like in general it helps, but sometimes it tends to aggravate the problems. IDK, I just suck it up and keep going. 17 hours ago, MoseySusan said: Yep.

I should prob look into that. 13 hours ago, Longjohn said: He is still a Clydesdale and they tend to have more hip problems.
