Rest Step; A Life Metaphore
Saturday, April 24th, 2010On Friday our group climbed Mt. Humphry’s in Flagstaff, Arizona. We were hiking to 11,500 ft. in 6-8 inches of snow. We traveled there to train for our summit climb of Mt. Rainier on 7.13.10.
Rest Step: A pace of deliberate and stress-less forward momentum with built in pauses.
Curtis Fawley will be our lead guide on Rainier and he was with us for this hike. Curtis has hiked Rainier countless times, he has climbed most of the high peaks in the world and has been near the top of Everest before he had to turn around due to weather.
He explained a hiking technique to employ when the going gets tough (i.e.: steep hill + thin air) its called the “Rest Step”. It works like this; Secure firm real estate with one foot, lock out that down leg which will rock your body forward and pause your leg turnover (thus, the rest) while keeping your momentum in a forward motion setting you up for the next purchase of firm footing.
The technique feels like dancing when you are doing it correctly. This technique made the climb seem effortless. I loved the process and when the entire team was in rhythm it actually sounds and feels like music.
As I climbed the step slope to the top of the hill, I occurred to me that this technique should be employed in other areas of my life. Rest Step: A pace of deliberate and stress-less forward momentum with built in pauses.
Beating Obesity; 4 of 10 Amercian will be Obese
Thursday, April 15th, 2010By 2015, four out of 10 Americans may be obese. Until last year, the author below in the link was one of them. The way he lost one-third of his weight isn’t for everyone. But unless America stops cheering The Biggest Loser and starts getting serious about preventing obesity, the country risks being overwhelmed by chronic disease and ballooning health costs.
Beating Obesity – Magazine – The Atlantic.
“The rise in obesity is associated with a rogue’s gallery of individual, social, and technological factors. The “Big Two,” as scientists call the leading factors, are reduced exercise and increased food consumption: Americans are ingesting more and more calories than they’re burning. But underlying that simple energy-in, energy-out equation is a complex, and so far inexorable, interplay between powerful physiological and societal forces.”
Thinking & Acting Greater = Change
Sunday, April 11th, 2010In order to change we must think and act greater than our past and our current condition. – Robert Vera, Co-Founder Iron90
Below is an example of change;
Beth Pfile says: Being on vacation and being sick much of the week used to be a great excuse for me to over eat and not exercise. And while I didn’t exercise nearly as much as I have been, because I really did feel terrible, I had control over the eating. (more…)
Training Smart to Burn Fat
Sunday, April 11th, 2010“No Pain No Gain?”
Most people wrongly believe that they will not burn fat until they are working out near the point of cardiac distress.
The fact is that harder is not better, nor will it shed that stubborn fat roll around the mid section. Here’s why: (more…)
How to Find Your Maximum Heart Rate
Saturday, April 10th, 2010In general maximum heart rates can vary from 160 to 220 beats per minute (BPM), depending on age and overall fitness level.
The most common formula encountered is;
- MAXIMUM HEART RATE = 220 − age
A 2002 study of 43 different formulae for HRmax (including the one above) concluded the following:
- 1) No “acceptable” formula currently existed, (the term “acceptable” to mean acceptable for both prediction of
, and prescription of exercise training HR ranges)
- 2) The formula deemed least objectionable was:
MAXIMUM HEART RATE = 205.8 − (0.685 × age)
A submax heart rate test is another method to detemine your Maximum Heart Rate. (more…)
