Mixing in Weight Training

guest — Thu, 29 Dec 2011 20:13:22 GMT

Mixing in weight training is a great idea. A lot of people are intimidated by weights and machines and do not know which is better. I find that I like free weights over machines, but there are those machines that I really enjoy using. Here is a great article now Free Weights vs Machines that really explains weight lifting in detail.

Maximum heart rate question

guest — Thu, 29 Dec 2011 19:56:07 GMT

Heart Rate and Exercise go hand-in-hand for proper training. As athletes we are striving to be our best and understanding heart rate is key. And from time to time we ask ourselves, “how hard should I be training?” To become stronger we know that we need to push our body to make it stronger. The intensity level must be high enough to overload the cardiovascular system, but not so severe that it over taxes other systems in our body. This is where a knowledge of heart rate and exercise is important. I found this article called Heart Rate and Exerices very informative.

Shoes too tight? should I return?

guest — Thu, 29 Dec 2011 19:52:21 GMT

My suggestion would be to return them, You are going to be unhappy with them. I have issues because I have wide feet, so when I am in the store I make sure that they are wide with a lot of toe room. This article Right Size Running Shoe offers some different ideas about what to look for when buying a new pair of running shoes.
