I have lost my cardio fitness as a result of too much weight training.?

Thursday, January 12th, 2012

I used to be a very fit endurance runner. I took up weight training 3 years ago to gain strength ontop of fitness. I have continued tio run at least twice weekly but only short distances. Now i cant get 50mtres without gasping for breath. I cant run 5km without stopping at least 6 times. Whats going on? Ive been doing some interval training which is ok because i have active rest times, but i cant manage anything continuous like i used to. I am very strong in the gym with bodyweight training ie lots of chinups etc and i lift heavy weights. I am 42 yr old female and weigh 54kg. Please help, its embarrasing!

            Can some answer me this. Why do most Anime Characters only train with bodyweight and barely lift weights?

            Thursday, September 8th, 2011

            Now Excluding Characters like Roronoa Zoro and Baki Hanma who are avid weightlifters. Why does it seem like they never weight training to make the strength as incredible as it is. I mean here are a few examples.
            Goku, Vegeta, etc from DBZ These dudes are the most powerful beings in the entire universe and all they really do is pushups, situps and sometimes they punch with weights or wear weighted clothing and of course they train in the gravity chamber. wouldn’t bench pressing in the gravity chamber make them stronger than doing endlesss pushups.
            Rock Lee from Naruto He is always doing pushups or some form of calisthenics and he is one of the physically strongest characters. Again like in DBZ he wears weighted clothing but why doesn’t he lift weights
            Kenichi Shirahama from Kenichi Mightiest Disciple Really strong even he is built mass wise. they explained it in an ep with Akisame fighting a wrestler but even akisame lifts those statues he is always building.

            So excuse my ignorance i really do apologize for it but why? Why don’t they lift weights. Is the anime trying to express that training the old fashion way, lifting boulders and trees is better suited for building incredible strength or what PLEASE SOMEONE ELABORATE!

              weight lifting????????????

              Monday, September 5th, 2011

              why do so much marital artist (not MMAers) and SOME boxers think weight lifting is bad for speed????? cuz theres been plenty of people that improved speed thru weight lifting (if doing it the right way), like me, i lift heavy like 6 reps or less in all the powerlifts (with bodyweight training mixed in too) and not only did my strength go up but my speed improved or maintained and i got quite a bit more powerful….. i found this out cuz theres this P.S.I. measure machine by were i live and when i was lifting weights n shodow boxing my P.S.I. average was around 905-920 and then i stop lifting weights and and just did bodyweight n shodow boxed n then when i checked it yesterday it went down n my aveage was 850-865….. but why do some people think its bad for combat sports? i found that as long as u strech and keep ur muscles loose with proper technique (i did boxing for a while when i was a teen) that weight training helped greatly with speed n power….. any ways whats yall opinion?

                  Natural bodyweight exercises?

                  Sunday, August 21st, 2011

                  Ive been trying to gain strength and sculpt my muscles. Ive been told by everyone i know that i need weights to gain strength and to sculpt my muscles. But I do not have weights. Only 2 15 lb dumbells. I did some research and came across a discussion that bodyweight exercises such as push ups sit ups squats and other natural bodyweight exercising workouts can give you more strength and sculpt and is safer. So what is better to do natural bodyweight exercises or weight training? Note i dont wanna bulk up i wanna gain strangth and sculpt not bulk up. Of corse I lack alot of knowledge on this stuff so if u can share any info pelase do.
                  And if you know and forums or links to sites that would help me with natural bodyweight workouts please share them.
