Becoming fit by exercising less

Biking and health

From the future of health by Abet James, "The Fat Burning Man"

Is exercising more the answer?  Not necessarily.

Taking cue from the Greeks, moderation is the key.  Anything that is taken in large doses or large quantities has a point of diminishing returns.  In the graph of Abet, he showed that little dose has little or effect;  but maximum dose results in death.

There is the sweet spot where there is a trade off between length of exercise and stress level.

And how is this possible:  by having short intense exercise and lifting weights.

He showed the picture  as a result of a.   exercising longer distance and b.   short distances but with sprinting.

 The future of health on having short intense exercises.

Great places to practice hill climbing - new one at Green Ridge

Biking and health

There are all ready 3 places where one can practice hill climbing:    Concrete Aggregates, San Carlos Heights, and Botong Francisco.

Add another one:   Green Ridge.  I hope the guard will let us through.

The return ride from Stratford is challenging.  I had to stand up.

I biked to/via Antipolo today September 9, 2010

Biking and health

For the first time, I biked again to Morong via Antipolo.  I overtook many bikers;  I left behind a biker from Taguig C5 at Marymount Seminary and several others. Only a couple who were ascending Antipolo at 53x 19 left me behind.

I stopped awhile at Antipolo church and heard the gospel on Epheta. (open up)

And then biked down to Teresa and Morong.  The 30 minute ride from Morong to Teresa took only l5 minutes descending.

I arrived at Maybancal at about 8:15 (Simples Lugawan) and was full of bikers from Taytay.

The Recyclists who were there:   Joel, Amigo, Tito, Tommy, Papa Rick, Edgar, Master, Ben, and June Francisco (it was his first time to bike again in so many months and he said gained  9 lbs)

It is nice to see you again guys

I was home by 9:15 am.
