Dbzhub Posted July 21, 2002 Share Posted July 21, 2002 kickchick: There is a purpose to run after a meal because if you dont all the carbs you just had turn into fat that you would burn the next morning so not running after eating would defeat the purpose of a morning jog. ya dig? Or did i read your post wrong? Do or do not, there is no try Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KickChick Posted July 22, 2002 Share Posted July 22, 2002 yes you do ....but there's no evidence that exercising right after a meal can eliminate the calories you just ate. But this doesn't mean you should nap after a big meal. Vigorous exercise before a meal raises your metabolic rate, which will stay at the elevated level even after exercise stops, depending on the length and intensity of the exercise. Your glycogen stores (the energy in muscle and tissue) are reduced. When you eat after exercise, the carbs will be stored easily without being converted to fat. If you exercise after a meal, the effort and energy required to help absorb the food is diverted from the digestive process. The blood in the muscles of the abdomen is withdrawn and taken to the working muscles putting the digestive process on hold. Intense exercise inhibits the movement of food through the intestines and decreases gastric and pancreatic juice secretions (the process needed for food absorption and breakdown). The bottom line is, intense exercise is best before you eat in order to decrease your appetite, but take a walk or do light exercise after meals. _________________ KarateForums Sensei 1st dan Tae Kwon Do (ITF) Cardio/Fitness Kickboxing Instr.

rabid hamster Posted July 22, 2002 Share Posted July 22, 2002 KickChick, So if jogging/running in the morning is one of the best ways to lose weight, will walking in a fast pace be as good? I'm not a morning person, so I think it will be too hard to run in the morning. It is only with the heart that one can see clearly, for the most essential things are invisible to the eye.

Jack Posted July 22, 2002 Share Posted July 22, 2002 Fast pace walking will probably put you in a fat burning mode at the time, but the metabolic boost is far less. JackCurrently 'off' from formal MA trainingKarateForums.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Posted July 22, 2002 Share Posted July 22, 2002 Sounds good ad, I'd think in two weeks (concidering you have your diet in check) you will have some results, but think of the long term, give this six months and see how you feel then.
