Minimum aerobic training

Minimum aerobic training is 12 minutesA minimum aerobic exercise should be 12 minutes.Why?

That’s the time organism needs to activates enzymes responsible for transforming fats into energy. So, after 10 minutes of aerobic training fats increase their role in energy production, while carbohydrates and glycogen reduce.

The largest effect of having fats transform into energy happens at 30 minutes. The reason for that is that our nerve system uses exclusively sugar, or actually glycogen. After 12 minutes the organism initiates a self-defending reaction to protect itself from eventually emptying all reserves of glycogen, and starts using more complex sources of energy, primarily fats. For this reason you want to exercise a minimum of 1 hour, or over 30 minutes at least. Aerobic training longer than 1 hour also activates fats for energy, but not the same as within a first hour. A training over an hour increases a risk of injury.

The time you spend resting, sleeping enough, your daily food consumption and current feelings are important factors for determining longevity of your training. The results will for sure be better if you exercise longer, but the training must be tailored for you and your condition.

It is very important you do the warm-ups. Warming up and relaxing after you train must be an integral part of every training. Your pulse must be under 55% of maximal theoretical frequency, and you need to slowly raise heart frequency towards your training zone through 5 to 10 minutes. Every training, and exercise start slowly and systematically, and equally finish it the same way.

Only that way you will allow your organism through regulating blood stream and metabolism, to prepare itself to jump from one level of intensity into another, what increases the effect of training. Entering too fast into training zone can produce sudden jump of heart rhythm, sudden loss of energy and too soon tiredness.

Slow ending and relaxing will allow organism to eliminate lactic acid and reduce a chance of muscles inflammation.

Biking notes: some mistakes you must avoid

Warm Up before, and Relax after a ride

Before and after each ride you have to warm up (and relax/stabilize) your muscles, at least for 5 minutes. Stretching will help in muscles stress removal and also in prevention of injuries during ride. If you short with time, it’s better to steal 5 minutes from a ride, then avoid warmup.

Start your ride gradually

If you start abruptly with full speed, or even worse start riding up heavy hill, you will destroy your muscles. Warmup your muscles by riding for 5 minutes with average speed and effort. That will supply blood and oxygen to your muscles, and prepare them for heavier effort.

Keep training continuity, avoid catching-up through hard training

If you miss to train on your regular schedule, do not try to catch up by riding more aggressively. Heavy training with high intensity will weaken your immune system. As a consequence you will start avoiding regular training and will be missing more and more trainings. If you miss a training from time to time, it’s ok, happens to all of us, then get back slowly into shape.

Drink lot of fluids

Did you notice how you sweat way more during indoor training? Well, it’s the same thing when you ride outside, but due to air fluctuation you don’t notice it that much. Remember to drink lot of water, even if you are not thirsty.

Try to finish your ride easy, and if possible keep pedaling until you fully relax

When you finish your training or a ride, it is good to continue spinning pedals for another 5 minutes but with an easy tempo. You need to cool off slowly and stabilize your organism properly.

Overcome bad habits through exercise

Exercise non-stop to suppress bad habits - mtb biking in the snowYour biggest challenge will certainly be to overcome bad habits, and that doesn’t go easy. Most people don’t realize that losing weight is a constant battle with bad habits and breaking them along the way. But before that happens, you have to start thinking about yourself, constantly, and what a weight loss will bring to you. My personal theory is that most of us who gained weight are practically “pleasers”, who want to make life easy for others, and for, who knows, what reason we start eating, or rather over-eating. As I wrote in several other articles, only once you turn to yourself, without even telling anyone what you are doing, you will start seeing positive results. Another key point in my approach is to exercise for 1h minimum. Any type of exercise, but for a minimum of one hour.

Once you lose the excessive weight you will claim your life back, but literally. So, definitely, it’s worth it! Your confidence will be back and you will feel strong.

I remember reading about a woman who decided to lose weight when she found out she had hypothyroidism. She went from not being able to walk 500 meters to running 10K marathon in under 55 minutes. Imagine that! She said that the biggest help to her was a Nutrition Tracker.

Set your goal to work out three times a week minimum and steer towards five times! I’m pleased when I succeed in doing so, and when I don’t … better luck next week.

I know to stay active in winter is a tough, but put on a warm clothes, walk, then run a bit if you are cold, but don’t give up… Change the route, change the routine, anything to make it more interesting and to keep yourself going. That’s most important. Doing the same thing every day may get boring and slow down a metabolism, so mix things up.

I wish I had lost all the weight. I still have some pounds to lose. At the same time, weight is not the biggest issue any longer. Being healthy and being fit is. Weight is a part of that, but not all of it.

Eliminate excuses, because excuses are not acceptable. If you decided to do something about yourself, then do it!

As the saying goes, make yourself beautiful on the inside and you will be beautiful on the outside.
