If one looks he

Boxing looks good, and I'd only have to fight vigorously in the ring for 1 hour to use 1 kcal? Piece o' cake! They should add dropping and chopping oak trees - I lost 3 pounds yesterday doing the same. Scout |

Based on the chart I burn about an average of 850 cal/day with training runs of about 8.5 min miles for an average of about an hour per day. A little more on interval day when the pace quickens. What the chart doesn't mention is the metabolic impact. If you run consistently (or do any aerobic exercise) at a high rate, your metabolism alters so that you will burn more calories when not running. Frank |

Frank Frank, You may like this: http://www.healthstatus.com/cbc.html http://www.stevenscreek.com/goodies/calories.shtml I have a Garmin 205 that estimates calories burned. It works ok on flat ground with no wind. If you go out and back on the same track it comes close estimating calories for hills and wind. What's uncanny about the GPS is you can review your track of high speed turns and sharpen them up even better. The GPS even works indoors (not everywhere, but much better than older GPS units). |

What's uncanny about the GPS is you can review your track of high speed turns and sharpen them up even better. The GPS even works indoors (not everywhere, but much better than older GPS units). Thanks. More good calculators. A more accurate aerobic activity burn rate is 887 based on the calculators with a 3256 cal/day for all activities. I've shied away from GPS, pace/distance calculators, heart rate monitors and the like, preferring to keep the activity simple, just me and the woods where I can just let my mind wander and not have to "keep track" I do wear a watch but only use it on interval day. And I only do intervals within 5 weeks of any competitive race. The net result is that I've lost over 26 lbs. over my 12 years of running, very gradually, with the most coming in later years when I upped the weekly distance to 35-38 miles. I actually do think sailing competitively burns a lot more calories than indicated, particularly on the short courses I've raced on the last two seasons. Lots or mark rounding and tacking on short courses in a crowd. I'm generally worn out and sore after race day. And the owner of the boat I race with typically goes into a race shorthanded. Frank |

I come back tired from sailing too and I don't race. There are usually a few bruises and one or two muscles a little tweaked that I normally don't use. My outings are usually all day. A heart rate monitor is good to use for training. It can indicate when you are fatigued and helps keep the aerobic output up. On a bike it is easy to view and not distracting, running is another story. |

Not to diss a traditional shotokan practice, but IMHO a light bag on a long lead is better, once you have practiced form. It's more exercise and develops footwork & balance. Better yet is to put the bag on a pulley and have a trainer raise/lower the bag while you work on it. I recomment wearing at least slightly padded gloves, unless you want to have really bad arthritis when you get to be over 35. DSK |

You obviously did not see the Steven Segal movie. He was in a coma for 15 years, came out of it, buried a railroad tie in the ground as a makiwari board and within weeks of his awakening managed to snap the untapered tie right off with one blow. Plus he was married to Kelly LeBrock! No need for a weight bag at all. Did you study Shotokan? |

Scout My son in law has one of those...gets rid of a mountain of stuff in 15 minutes...never wear gloves when using one...a branch snagged on a gloce can drag you in..of course, that would make nutrient rich mulch... |

Industrial chipper? Phhht. One of my customers has a chipper/shredder that can take a dozen pallets at a time, runs off a Cat 3408 diesel. Now THAT's a chipper! Scotty |

"Scout" wrote in message ... If you lived in a cramped, second floor apartment in Queens you would have more time for sailing. Once the macadam is down, I can do a dry run (play with it in the backyard, per Scotty!) and then I'll be slipping her into the Bass River for the maiden voyage of Sheryl Lee, a 30 mile sail around the Great Bay and Long Beach Island. God willing. Hah! You'll have sailed more than RB has all season. ;)) |

He was in a coma for 15 years, came out of it, buried a railroad tie in the ground as a makiwari board and within weeks of his awakening managed to snap the untapered tie right off with one blow. Plus he was married to Kelly LeBrock! No need for a weight bag at all. Wow! Was that a true story? It would certainly change my opinion! Except I don't think my wife would like the Kelly LeBrock part. Did you study Shotokan? No. But I have been in several dojos that took practices from a wide range of disciplines. Fencing is more fun and almost as good exercise. DSK I will require all your talents Grasshopper, as I must flawlessly erect 800 feet of chain link fence! Scout My God you must have awfully big squirrels!!!!!! And awfully big nuts! That's a kind of personal observation.... One would think that large squirrels would be large because they consume large nuts since trees usually have a fixed number of seeds. I suspect you are right because I saw neighbors looking my way and I overheard one of them commenting on the big f-ing nut. Now I understand! Scout See! |

I've got good muscle tone and some of it's because of sailing. It's good for the abs hiking out and leaning back on dinghies..... If your interested I could post a photo of my flat tummy with abs better than most men have. It goes to show that sailing can be physical. But only if you stick with the basics. Cheers, Ellen |
