Its a diet program too not just exercises because diet is very important to achieving your goal as well. You just have to stick with it.

It did take some time to develop the muscles used by the recumbent (the recumb-butt), but I am now a much stronger climber on the trike. The difference appears to be in the mechanics involved. The maximum force that can be applied to the peddles on the upright is my body weight. There is just no way to push down more than I weigh. But on the trike the maximum force that can be applied to the peddles is a function of my leg strength because I am pressing against the seat. In the gym I can leg press much more than my body weight. So for me, the decreased air drag is probably offset by the increased weight of the trike, but when I am climbing the leg strength makes it easier on the recumbent. And it is definitely more fun. Rollin' in the mountains. Exercise Feedback: I am probably in a good position to answer this because I ride both a standard upright bike and a recumbent trike.

And no, you wont starve. Im a food lover myself and love junk food. These shakes make me feel full so I dont starve. here´s the website so you can take a look at it... It helps you reduce weight and size! it has worked for me...

]]> Comment on What is the difference between high and low impact aerobics? by scubalady01 http://www.about-exercise.com/blog/more-exercise-answers/265/what-is-the-difference-between-high-and-low-impact-aerobics/comment-page-1/#comment-296 scubalady01 Wed, 06 May 2009 17:59:24 +0000 http://www.about-exercise.com/blog/more-exercise-answers/265/what-is-the-difference-between-high-and-low-impact-aerobics/#comment-296 Exercise Feedback: High impact aerobics involves you raising and lowering your arms in quick succession (like doing jumping jacks) or running in place or bouncing or hopping. The idea is to bring your heart rate up relatively quickly and then keep it there for an extended period of time. It can be hard on the knee and ankle joints, especially if you're out of shape or older or have prior injury to the joints. There's also the risk of accidentally twisting and tearing a ligament or tendon. With low impact, you basically keep your feet on the ground and step side to side or front to back and and when you raise your knees, it's done slower and you touch down softer to lessen the impact on the joint. In low impact, you raise your arms when the lower body is not heavily engaged and generally you keep your arms down when you do legs. The trick with high impact aerobics is not to work so hard that the workout becomes "anaerobic" (means without oxygen). If you work too hard, it becomes ineffective. So you have to find the proper target heart rate and work within that zone to get the maximum benefit. The latest fitness wisdom is to incorporate 30 seconds of anaerobic training into a high impact session and I've done this to see whether it actually has an effect, but I haven't noticed any significant changes.

Most bents have a much longer wheel base than traditional double diamonds. New trike designs have shorter wheel bases and climb better than their super long parent generation.

You will look better too, however your weight may stay the same or even increase with the added muscle even if you loose fat at the same time. It is a better gauge to veiw your appearance by using measuring body fat percentage rather than monitoring your weight, after all that is what it is about for most people, appearance.

On a cumbent it's not only harder to climb, it's also difficult to descend; in countries like Norway it would be a fast ticket to the hell. Exercise Feedback: Totally agree with silverbullet.
