Snowboarding is a sport that involves descending a slope that is either partially or fully covered with snow on a snowboard attached to a rider's feet using a special boot set into a mounted binding. The development of snowboarding was inspired by skateboarding, surfing and skiing. The first snowboard, the Snurfer, was invented by Sherman Poppen in 1965. Snowboarding became a Winter Olympic Sport in 1998.

In the early 1960s, at the height of surfing's popularity, the first snowboard ever was created by a chemical engineer named Sherman Poppen in Muskegon, Michigan. Poppen was inspired by watching his daughter attempt to sled down a hill standing up and so he decided to fashion his skis together and then tie rope to the nose for more stability. His wife named his creation the 'Snurfer', a combination of snow and surfer, and between 1966 and 1977, Poppen sold over half a million all around the country. The snurfer was originally marketed to kids in grocery stores but when more traditional models were created, they were marketed to surfers and skateboarders. Despite the increasing popularity, snowboarding was seen as a gimmick and wasn't recognized as a true sport. More importantly, it was banned from all ski resorts in North America, forcing any prospective boarders to look elsewhere. Backcountry snowboarding became the original kind of snowboarding simply because there was no other choice, boards were specifically designed for powder snow and the experimental board designs weren't designed for groomers. It wasn't until the 1980s that snowboarders were finally accepted into resorts. Despite the new access to resorts and lifts, some boarders chose to continue to ride in the backcountry.

Snowboarding was born in 1965 when Sherman Poppen created the 'Snurfer' by bracing a pair of skis together and riding sideways down his backyard hill in Muskegon, Michigan. Through the late 60s, 70s and early 80s snowboard designs with the help of snowboard innovators Jake Burton, Tom Sims, Mike Olson, Dimitrije Milovich and others. It has since evolved into the fastest growing winter sport on the planet.

However, a man by the name of Sherman Poppen, from Muskegon, MI, came up with what most consider the first 'snowboard' in 1965 and was called the Snurfer (a blend of 'snow' and 'surfer') who sold his first 4 'snurfers' to Randall Baldwin Lee of Muskegon, MI who worked at Outdoorsman Sports Center 605 Ottawa Street in Muskegon, MI (owned by Justin and Richard Frey or Muskegon). Randy believes that Sherman took an old water ski and made it into the snurfer for his children who were bored in the winter. He added bindings to keep their boots secure. (Randy Lee October 14, 2014) Commercially available Snurfers in the late 1960s and early 1970s had no bindings. The snowboarder held onto a looped nylon lanyard attached to the front of the Snurfer, and stood upon several rows of square U-shaped staples that were partially driven into the board but protruded about 1 cm above the board's surface to provide traction even when packed with snow. Later Snurfer models replaced the staples with ridged rubber grips running longitudinally along the length of the board (originally) or, subsequently, as subrectangular pads upon which the snowboarder would stand. It is widely accepted that Jake Burton Carpenter (founder of Burton Snowboards) and/or Tom Sims (founder of Sims Snowboards) invented modern snowboarding by introducing bindings and steel edges to snowboards.

Sherman Poppen attached two skis together in Muskegon, Mich., in 1965. His wife christened it the Snurfer and the kids loved it. He may have been inspired by a sled-like device made of plywood that first appeared in the 1920s. Poppen may have made the first snowboard; many say that he did. He certainly took a step in the evolution of snowboards. Dutch native Dimitrije Milovich, who slid down the hills of Ithaca, N.Y., on trays from the Cornell cafeteria, also seems to have strong claim on the first actual snowboard.

Rebagliati was born in Vancouver, British Columbia. After turning pro in 1991, he was the first ever to win an Olympic gold medal for Men's Snowboarding at the 1998 Winter Olympics. After winning the gold, he was found to have Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) in his circulatory system following a blood test and he was automatically disqualified. This decision was eventually overturned, largely on the basis that marijuana was not on the list of banned substances, and Rebagliati was given back the medal. The next day he appeared on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno and became an instant icon to many globally. THC has since been listed by the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) as a banned substance. In 2013 however, WADA amended its rules on cannabis, raising the threshold for a positive test from 15 nanograms per milliliter to 150 ng/ml. In 1998 at the Nagano Games, Rebagliati recorded a level of 17.8 ng/ml, and argued the test resulted from second-hand smoke, which he still says. Ben Nichols, a spokesperson for WADA, said the raising of the threshold is meant to catch only athletes who smoke during the period of a competition. The drug isn't prohibited out of competition.

Snowboarding is a sport at the Winter Olympic Games. It was first included in the 1998 Winter Olympics in Nagano, Japan. Snowboarding was one of five new sports or disciplines added to the Winter Olympic program between 1992 and 2002, and was the only one not to have been a previous medal or demonstration event. In 1998, four events, two for men and two for women, were held in two specialities: the giant slalom, a downhill event similar to giant slalom skiing; and the half-pipe, in which competitors perform tricks while going from one side of a semi-circular ditch to the other. Canadian Ross Rebagliati won the men's giant slalom and became the first athlete to win a gold medal in snowboarding. Rebagliati was briefly stripped of his medal by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) after testing positive for marijuana. However, the IOC's decision was reverted following an appeal from the Canadian Olympic Association. For the 2002 Winter Olympics, giant slalom was expanded to add head-to-head racing and was renamed parallel giant slalom. In 2006, a third event, the snowboard cross, was held for the first time. In this event, competitors race against each other down a course with jumps, beams and other obstacles. On July 11, 2011, the International Olympic Committee's Executive Board approved the addition of Ski and Snowboard Slopestyle to the Winter Olympics roster of events, effective in 2014. The decision was announced via press conference from the IOC's meeting in Durban, South Africa. A fifth event, parallel slalom, was added be in 2014.

In his early teens Blakley began to take his snowboarding hobby seriously. Since he was too young at the time for official certification, at age fourteen he became an unofficial snowboard instructor at Swain Ski Area in upstate New York. Swain was one of the few places at the time that allowed snowboards on the trails. At the age of fourteen he also had his first athletics sponsorship, with the snowboard company Barfoot. Blakley spent the next several years competing in contests, among them the U.S. Snowboarding Open. At one point he competed in the slalom against Ross Rebagliati, who would later go on to win a gold in the 1998 Winter Olympics. Recollected Blakley, 'He's like this 'racer guy,' all decked out in racing gear, and I'm in big ol' baggy pants with a shitty freestyle board. I'm like, 'I'm gonna beat your ass! I'm gonna whup you!' He was all serious, and I was joking about it. Well, he finished like thirty seconds ahead of me.'

Cap-strap bindings are a recent modification that provide a very tight fit to the toe of the boot, and seats the boot more securely in the binding. Numerous companies have adopted various versions of the cap strap.

These are the most popular bindings in snowboarding. Before snowboard specific boots existed, snowboarders used any means necessary to attach their feet to their snowboards and gain the leverage needed for turning. Typical boots used in these early days of snowboarding were Sorels or snowmobile boots. These boots were not designed for snowboarding and did not provide the support desired for doing turns on the heel edge of a snowboard. As a result, early innovators such as Louis Fournier conceived the 'high-back' binding design which was later commercialized and patented by Jeff Grell. The highback binding is the technology produced by most binding equipment manufacturers in the snowboard industry. The leverage provided by highbacks greatly improved board control. Snowboarders such as Craig Kelly adapted plastic 'tongues' to their boots to provide the same support for toe-side turns that the highback provided for heel-side turns. In response, companies such as Burton and Gnu began to offer 'tongues'.

There are also proprietary systems that seek to combine the convenience of step-in systems with the control levels attainable with strap-ins. An example is the Flow binding system, which is similar to a strap-in binding, except that the foot enters the binding through the back. The back flips down and allows the boot to slide in; it's then flipped up and locked into place with a clamp, eliminating the need to loosen and then re-tighten straps every time the rider frees and then re-secures their rear foot. The rider's boot is held down by an adjustable webbing that covers most of the foot. Newer Flow models have connected straps in place of the webbing found on older models; these straps are also micro adjustable. In 2004, K2 released the Cinch series, a similar rear-entry binding; riders slip their foot in as they would a Flow binding, however rather than webbing, the foot is held down by straps.

With modern strap bindings, the rider wears a boot which has a thick but flexible sole, and padded uppers. The foot is held onto the board with two buckle straps – one strapped across the top of the toe area, and one across the ankle area. They can be tightly ratcheted closed for a tight fit and good rider control of the board. Straps are typically padded to more evenly distribute pressure across the foot. While nowhere near as popular as two-strap bindings, some people prefer three-strap bindings for more specialized riding such as carving. The third strap tends to provide additional stiffness to the binding.

Snowboard boots and bindings are normally far simpler than their downhill counterparts, rarely including release systems for instance, and need to provide mechanical support only in the fore and aft directions. These typically consist of an external frame, generally L shaped, which the snowboarder steps into and then fastens down using straps over the boot. The boot itself is not as responsible for transmitting forces, and can be much softer than a typical downhill boot. When the sport was first introduced, normal winter boots were used, but today it is much more common to use semi-stiff snowboarding boots. Some specialty disciplines use harder boots with step-in bindings more similar to downhill systems, but these are not widely used outside these fields, even though some downhill sports teachers use these so they can switch between snowboarding or skiing classes without having to change boots.

Although initially refusing to expose themselves to the risk and expense associated with bringing a step-in system to market, Burton chose to focus primarily on improvements to existing strap-in technology. However, Burton eventually released 2 models of step-in systems, the SI and the PSI, Burton's SI system enjoyed moderate success, yet never matched the performance of the company's strap-in products and was never improved upon. Burton never marketed any improvements to either of their step-in binding systems and eventually discontinued the products.

Most Popular (and incompatible) step-in systems used unique and proprietary mechanisms, such as the step-ins produced by Burton, Rossignol and Switch. Shimano and K2 used a technology similar to clipless bicycle pedals. Burton and K2 Clicker step-in binding systems are no longer in production as both companies have opted to focus on the strap-in binding system. Rossignol remains as the sole provider of step-in binding systems and offers them primarily to the rental market as most consumers and retailers alike have been discouraged by lack of adequate development and industry support for step-in technology.

Bindings are separate components from the snowboard deck and are very important parts of the total snowboard interface. The bindings' main function is to hold the rider's boot in place tightly to transfer their energy to the board. Most bindings are attached to the board with three or four screws that are placed in the center of the binding. Although a rather new technology from Burton called Infinite channel system uses two screws, both on the outsides of the binding.

Snowboarding boots should be well-fitted, with toes snug in the end of the boot when standing upright and slightly away from the end when in the snowboarding position. Padding or 'armor' is recommended on other body parts such as hips, knees, spine, and shoulders. To further help avoid injury to body parts, especially knees, it is recommended to use the right technique. To acquire the right technique, one should be taught by a qualified instructor. Also, when snowboarding alone, precaution should be taken to avoid tree wells, a particularly dangerous area of loose snow that may form at the base of trees.

The ski area opened as Bachelor Butte in October 1958 with a rope tow and a platter lift rising and a lift ticket was three dollars. The geographical name changed to Mount Bachelor in 1983 after the Bend Chamber of Commerce persuaded state and federal officials to adopt the more descriptive term 'mountain.' Well-known broadcaster and avid skier Lowell Thomas visited the young ski area in 1961, flying over from Sun Valley with J. R. Simplot. The first chair lift was Black chair in 1961, shortly followed by the red chair lift in 1964. In 1967 and 1970 the yellow and blue chair lifts were added, and in 1973 the green and orange chair lifts were added. The following lifts were added afterwards and the names continue to this day. These lifts include outback in 1976, rainbow in 1980, and sunrise in 1982. The first area of the mountain developed for skiing was the northeastern side. The northwestern side was not lift-served in 1973, but those who ventured for the 'Outback Trail Tour' paid a dollar in advance and got a return ride by a sno-cat to the lodge. A new trail was finished in 1975, and the Outback double chairlift was installed at a cost of $700,000. It was replaced by the $3 million high-speed quad (Outback Express) in the summer of 1987; with a capacity of 2,800 per hour. The lengthy Northwest Express chairlift was added in the summer of 1996, a high-speed quad with vertical. This lift further expanded the terrain to the west and increased the resort's overall vertical, lowering the minimum lift-served elevation to . In 1976 Mount Bachelor had a severe drought and was only open January 2 through February 14, and February 26 through April 30. There was a loss of an estimated $4 million and took 4 years to recover. Following the drought the Nordic initiative began and the main lodge expanded.

Despite Wade's play, the Heat struggled early in the season with injuries and were 20–25 on February 1, 2007. But with Shaquille O'Neal healthy and Pat Riley returning to the bench after undergoing hip and knee surgeries respectively, the Heat seemed poised to surge into the second half of the season. However, during a game against the Houston Rockets on February 21, 2007, while attempting to steal the ball from Shane Battier, Wade dislocated his left shoulder and was assisted off the court in a wheelchair. After the injury, he was left with the decision to either rehabilitate the shoulder or undergo season-ending surgery. Wade later announced that he would put off the surgery and rehabilitate his shoulder with the intention of rejoining the team in time for the playoffs. After missing 23 games to recover from the injury, Wade returned to the active roster in a game against the Charlotte Bobcats. Sporting a black sleeve to help protect his dislocated left shoulder, Wade played 27 minutes and recorded 12 points and 8 assists, in an 111–103 overtime loss. For the season, Wade averaged 27.4 points, 7.5 assists, 4.7 rebounds, and 2.1 steals per game shooting 50% from the field, and finished the season as the NBA's leader in PER (Player efficiency rating).

To counteract shoulder and elbow injury, coaches and trainers have begun utilizing 'jobe' exercises, named for Dr. Frank Jobe, the pioneer of the Tommy John procedure. Jobes are exercises that have been developed to isolate, strengthen and stabilize the rotator cuff muscles. Jobes can be done using either resistance bands or lightweight dumbbells. Common jobe exercises include shoulder external rotation, shoulder flexion, horizontal abduction, prone abduction and scaption (at 45°, 90° and inverse 45°).

Physiotherapy can help manage the pain, but utilizing a program that involves continuous passive motion will reduce the pain even further. Assisted passive motion at a low intensity allows the tissues to be stretched slightly without damaging them Continuous passive motion improves the shoulder range and enables the subject to expand their range of motion without experiencing additional pain. Easing into the motions will allow the person to continue working those muscles to keep them from undergoing atrophy, while also still maintaining that minimum level of function where daily function is allowed. Doing these exercises will also prevent tears in the muscles that will impair daily function further. Since injuries of the rotator cuff often tend to inhibit motion without first experience discomfort and pain, other methods can be done to help accommodate that.

Type IV, V, and VI shoulder separations are very uncommon but always require surgery. There is some debate among orthopedic surgeons, however, about the treatment of type III shoulder separation. Many with type III shoulder separation who do not undergo surgical treatment recover just as well as those who do receive it, and avoid the added risks that surgery may present. Those who opt out of surgery also have faster recovery times and are able to return to work or sports sooner. Some studies suggest early surgical treatment of type III separation may benefit laborers and athletes who perform overhead motions. The potential benefit of surgical treatment for type III remains unproven. Studies have been done that those who did have the surgery or not will need some kind of operation later down the road. The injured joint degenerates a lot faster than normal and over time it can become arthritic and painful.

Whatever you do, don't try to cram in the runs you've missed. This may increase your risk of injury and may hurt your efforts.' Instead, consider what caused your layoff and how close you are to race day when you're able to resume training. Those answers will help determine the best plan to get you back on track. Life interrupted training and you resume running... Six weeks out from race day: The goal here is to restore momentum and endurance without pushing it. For the first two weeks back, reduce each weekday run by a mile and slow your pace by 15 to 30 seconds per mile, says Forsman. Stick to your scheduled long run; if the distance seems daunting, break it into two runs spaced at least four hours apart. After that, resume training at the point you'd be at if you hadn't gotten sidetracked. Four weeks out: Your primary goal is to get in that last long run. For the first week back, follow the mileage and pacing strategy above. Run your final monster-miler three weeks out, but at 10 to 20 seconds per mile slower than normal, then start your taper. The slower pace helps compensate for the fitness you may have lost during the break, Forsman says.

Two weeks out: At this point, chances are good that you missed your last long run. Let it go, or risk going into your big day not fully recovered, says Forsman. Resume your plan at the point where you'd be if you'd never taken a break, and follow through with your scheduled taper. If you're set on squeezing in one last superlong effort, break it into two: 10 miles in the morning, 10 in the evening, with self-massage, an ice bath, refueling, and rest in between. Complete both of these runs 15 to 30 seconds per mile slower than normal. Illness derailed your schedule and you resume running... Six weeks out from race day: Proceed with caution. 'Longer and higher-tempo runs suppress immunity and can cause a relapse,' says David Nieman, Dr.P.H., head of the Human Performance Laboratory at Appalachian State University. For your first week back, run/walk half the distance of your scheduled weekday runs (run three to five minutes/walk one minute), and reduce your long run by one to two miles.

Gradually take on more miles. Once your layoff is over, start back with 75 percent of your normal weekly training mileage (if you've been doing the mile repeats) and inch your way up to 100 percent during the following four weeks. If you cross-trained or did no running at all, start back at about 40 percent of your usual mileage for two weeks, move to 60 to 70 percent for two additional weeks, then edge your way up to your customary volume, increasing mileage by about 3 miles per week.

Here are 12 of the best exercises for runners, and while we have included several useful leg exercises, there are also movements for your upper body and midsection. 1. Medicine ball lunges with a twist Lunges Using Ball This is one of the most running-specific exercises you can do. It works one leg at a time and also involves your midsection and upper body. It’s a good movement for improving your balance and coordination too. How to do it: Stand with your feet together and a medicine ball in your hands. Lift the ball up and overhead. Brace your core. Take a long step forward, bend your legs, and lower your rearmost knee down to within an inch of the floor. Simultaneously lower the medicine ball down and to the outside of your leading leg, twisting your torso to that side. Push off your front leg and return to the starting position, lifting the medicine ball back up as you do. Step out with the opposite leg and repeat on the other side. 2. Side to side bench jumps Successful running involves a lot of lateral stability. Taking off and then landing on one leg means you need to work really hard to stop your knees and hips from collapsing inward or outward.

Running Leg Bounds This plyometric exercise mimics running, which can help improve the power you produce with each step on the run. You’ll need space to complete this exercise, as it requires you to move forward with each step. Begin by moving forward in an exaggerated running motion, taking long, slow steps. As you take each step, jump forward with your front leg, landing slightly off to the side. Continue to move forward by alternating legs, as if you were running in slow motion. This is one of the best plyometrics for runners who are looking to improve their power and efficiency during regular training runs. Box Jumps A classic plyometric exercise is the box jump. This exercise requires a box, stool, chair or another sturdy surface that is about a foot off the ground. Simply stand in front of the box or stool and jump onto it with both legs. The exercise itself sounds simple, but many athletes are surprised by the mental challenge (more so than physical) that this double leg jump presents. To increase the intensity of this exercise, choose a slightly higher stool or box as you become more efficient. The focus should be on landing with control, balance, and repeating each jump with no break in between.

To target your oblique abs—which feed into your hip flexors—take your standard plank and flip it on its side!

Related Story The Best Workout Shoes for Serious Cross-Training How to use this list: Each cross-training exercise below is demonstrated by Yusuf Jeffers, a trainer and coach at Mile High Run Club in New York City. Do each move two to three times a week. You’ll need a resistance band, a foam roller, a chair or bench, and an exercise mat (optional). 1. Overhead Squat How: Start holding the resistance band with both hands, feet shoulder-width apart, toes pointing slightly out, and raise arms up overhead, elbows locked. Hinge at the hips to send butt back to squat down as low as you can, encouraging gluteal contraction, and keeping your back as straight as possible.

Compound Movements Share on Pinterest The best exercises for runners train movements, not muscles—so stick to compound, multi-joint exercises (and make sure your form is correct!). Some of the classics include deadlifts, squats, pull-ups (or these exercises if you’re still learning a pull-up) bench press, and step-ups onto an elevated platform. These exercises target functional movements that we do in real life: bending down, pushing and pulling things, and picking things up. 2 . Bodyweight Exercises Complement compound movements with a good dose of bodyweight exercises you can do after an easy run (We’ve included a few suggestions below). Bodyweight routines can help you recover from running while still building the strength necessary to help prevent future overuse injuries. Other effective exercises you can do almost anywhere include lunges, planks, push-ups, side planks, bird-dogs, and side leg lifts. All of these build the core strength you need to prevent injuries and get stronger.You can also try some of these at-home bodyweight workouts:30-Minute No-Equipment Bodyweight Workout30-Minute Strength and Cardio Circuit to Challenge Your Whole BodyThe Quick But Intense Bodyweight Workout 3.

He recommends beginners do total-body strength training two to three days a week, consisting of two sets of eight to 12 repetitions for eight to 12 exercises. Examples of effective exercises for runners include push-ups, sit-ups, squats, lunges and hamstring curls. 9. Cool Down Properly Personal trainer Cris Dobrosielski urges beginning runners to make a cool-down part of every workout. It's a good habit to create right from the start. Dobrosielski recommends a two-part cool-down that starts by slowing your running pace to a jog then to a walk until the heart rate comes back to normal. The second part includes several static stretches to lengthen the hamstrings, calves, quadriceps and the muscles of the hips and lower back, holding each stretch for 10 to 60 seconds. 'Running is terrific, but it literally shortens and breaks muscles down,' he says. 'If we finish the run with those static stretches, then we're lengthening those muscles that we shortened, leaving them happier than they would be otherwise.'

Building and then carrying lots of muscle mass could reduce running performance. Muscle is heavy and also uses a lot of energy. That’s why runners are invariably slim and carry as little unnecessary weight as possible – both excess fat or muscle. Runners don’t need to be powerlifter strong either. As impressive as a 300-pound bench press or a 400-pound deadlift are, runners just don’t need to be that strong. And again, the muscle mass required to perform such feats of strength would weigh you down. Instead, runners need strength endurance. That means they shouldn’t train for pure size or strength. They need to develop the ability to generate force for extended periods of time. Because of this, most runners should focus on training in the 12-20 rep range using light to moderate weights and short rests. Image via CrossFit Inc. As running is a whole-body activity, it also makes sense for runners to follow a full-body workout routine rather than using a split. This means you’ll have more time to spend on your main training focus – pounding the pavement, hitting the hills, or tearing up the trails.

Good news is that you can save yourself a lot of trouble by adding a reload—fancy term for recovery—week into your training program. Therefore, if you are training on a regular basis, you may need a recovery week. I recommend that take a recovery every fourth or fifth week of hard training. During the deload week, you train with weights that are lighter than normal. Shoot for 60 percent of your 1RM, and reduce the number of reps by half. You can also take a week off (just like what I did last week), and don’t even go near the gym or running track. Instead, keep it light. Do yoga, walk, swim, or get a massage. Bonus – A Runner Upper Body Workout Here’s a simple workout routine that will sculpt all of the major muscles in your upper body. Perform this routine two to three days a week, leaving a rest day in between. Finish the suggested number of reps for each exercise. And more importantly, go for a challenging weight that you can hardly complete the last two reps of your final set with good technique. Push-ups: 5 sets of 12 to 15 reps. Dumbbell bench press: 4 sets of 10 to 12 reps.

How come? Well, as I have already told you, running speeds up your metabolism and thus helps supply your muscles with the nutrients and oxygen they need to recover from intense weightlifting. In Conclusion As you can see the answer to the questions we have asked at the beginning is YES! It is ok to run after leg day as well as after lifting. It is perfectly fine to combine cardio and lifting as long you have a good strategy. If you are not experienced enough to assess how to combine the two turn to the professionals but be sure to provide info on your training history and style as well as your personal fitness goals.

In this case, you’ll have more energy for strength training if you do it before running and this, of course, leads to greater gains in size and strength. By the way, such cross-training is also useful for you as it leads to favorable hormonal changes. Weight training will make your body to increase the testosterone production that helps you burn extra calories faster. The increased testosterone level also reduces the production of cortisol – the stress hormone. Running Before Strength Training If you want not only to lose body fat, but also increase your aerobic endurance during the session or you’re just training for a run start your workout with a treadmill. Doing running before weights will require more of your muscle energy that`s why your muscles should be rested after so intensive running session. Though, if you want to improve your overall fitness and don`t lose muscle mass you can run just 5 – 15 minutes before lifting weights. This moderate-intensive running session helps you warm up your muscles and increase their mobility (it can prevent injury during strength training). Besides, after such warming up you can perform the intense weightlifting workout. I`d like to focus one more really important point both as during running and strength session – your shoes!

Include link to article about the types of runs you can do. “ The 9 Different Types of Running Workouts You Should Include in Your Training ” Weight Lifting You might be surprised, but in this half-marathon training plan a good strength training routine is a very important part. You might have even thought that doing a weight training regime and big muscles would actually slow you done. However, according to exercise scientist, Kenji Doma, Ph.D., strength training actually makes you a faster runner because it helps decrease the amount of energy you use while running. In fact, when you run, your brain recruits your most fatigue resistant muscle fibers in order to minimize your energy usage. Therefore, by using resistance training in conjunction with running can be a big help. There are 3 things that you should keep in mind if you plan on lifting weights and running in the same day (especially when you are doing lower body weight training): If you are going for an easy run, take at least 6 hours of rest before running. If you plan to do a hard running workout, you should leave at least 24 hours of rest between the two exercises. Do you running workouts before your lower body weight training days. [

Back injuries are some of the most nagging and prevalent issues for golfers so a strong core can help prevent this. Tiger then does cardio, focusing on either a run or a bike ride. If Tiger chooses to run, he would do a three-mile speed run or an endurance run up to seven miles. It’s good to do a mixture of high intensity training with more moderate training. This builds up both your slow and fast-twitch muscle fibers and gives some extra variety to your cardiovascular conditioning. After his run, Woods hits the weights for two to three hours. On his personal blog, Tiger says of his weight regimen, “The idea is to build the strength I need to crush a golf ball rather than develop big muscle volume. I lift sub-maximal weights at higher reps, sometimes 25 to 50, because I’m going for tone and endurance instead of bulk. Bodybuilders usually lift heavier weights in sets of six to 12 because they’re going for mass. Sometimes, I add plates to break up the routine and challenge myself, but I rarely lift a lot of weight.” Sometimes building bulk can affect a golfer’s swing. Also, strength and size aren’t always correlated so it is possible to build strength without building bulk.

She’s got some runners using the elliptical to get in an hour of cardio and then biking — either in the gym or outside — and then swimming if they have access to a pool. Like Alyanak, I’m seeing more runners using the elliptical bike outside on the trail, which is almost like combining running and biking all in the same workout. Combining different body parts in the same workout also slows muscle fatigue, Tizabi said, kind of like circuit training. For example, even if you’re doing a series of exercises, one after the other, with minimal rest, if you’re doing squats and then immediately going to push-ups and then to core work, you are giving each muscle group time to rest. That way, when you go back to them you can perform additional exercises with better form. “However, the amount of time spent going from one exercise to the next should be based on the individual’s capabilities and fitness level,” Tizabi noted. And to avoid injury, even people who’ve been training for years might need to take breaks between activities if they are unable to maintain proper form. A brick will take you outside your comfort zone, but it should also be fun, Tizabi said.

Why It’s Hard to Lose Weight While Running Recently Anne emailed me an excellent question: “How can I lose weight and run a lot at the same time? I have 9 months before my marathon and I’m scared that I won’t be able to make it because of my weight. I don’t want to stop running to go on a strict diet but I’m unclear as to how I can lose weight and run at the same time.” Anne’s question echoes many sentiments that I’ve heard from runners who struggle with weight loss and running. Have you ever wondered how you can keep losing weight while eating all of the carbs necessary for running? Or how to control your appetite after a long run? These are all great questions. And to answer them, we have to stop thinking about “diets” and cutting calories because those strategies simply don’t work for runners.

Repeat for 25 minutes or as your fitness levels allow. Studies have shown that high-intensity intervals will also burn more fat after your workout. Hit the hills If you’re used to running on flat ground, then hit the hills to burn more calories. For every degree of incline, you get about a 10 percent increase in total calories burnt, so a gentle hill will burn about 50 percent more calories. Run up the hill at a high intensity for 10 – 30 seconds, jog back down and take a 30 – 60 second rest. Repeat 4 – 12 times or as your fitness levels alow. If you’re in the gym, set the treadmill to a 5 percent incline for the run, then reset for the jog back. Not only is this going to burn a lot more fat, but you’ll also be hitting your glutes a lot harder, so you’ll get a perkier butt too! Blast off with shuttle runs There’s a reason why these guys are so popular in the sporting world – love them or hate them they work!

Running To Lose Weight - Running is the Best Way to Shed Pounds Running to Lose Weight 1. Run consistently. This is by far the most important thing to do if you are serious about losing some weight. 2. Increase the intensity of your runs. For people with a limited time frame for working out, you might have to speed up your pace during the run in order to burn more calories. You can do a variety of different running workouts to help you get the most out of each run. 3. Eat more fruits and vegetables. Also, eat less of everything else. I don't recommend one diet over another, but eating more 'real' foods like fruits and veggies which have all the vitamins and minerals you need naturally will help you with your weight loss goals. Tips4Running recommends following the Start Walking, Get Running, Lose Weight Plan to gradually work your way back into shape. It's a great plan with a five week walking schedule, a ten week walk and jog schedule, and a ten week running schedule. YouTube David T.

Running and jogging have been found to reduce risk of depression and cancer; one study of more than 55,000 adults from age 18 to 100 (!) showed that runners at all levels of speed and expertise had a greatly reduced risk of cardiovascular disease and added roughly three years to their life expectancy. To get started—and to keep the weight loss going—follow these tips: Start slowly, then ramp it up. If you try to go all out on your first day of running after months, years, or even a lifetime of couch-sitting, you not only risk getting injured, you’ll probably be so nauseous and miserable you’ll want to throw those new sneaks in a burning pile of trash. Instead, start slow and easy, knowing that every day you will do a little better. Here’s what Mackey suggests: Week 1-2: Start by running or jogging for 1 minute; then walking for 1 minute. Alternate 8 times for a total of 16 minutes. Increase reps as you feel more comfortable, trying to fit in at least 3 runs per week. Week 3: Bump up your running time to 2 minutes, alternating with 1 to 2 minutes of walking for a total of 30 minutes.

Can you lose weight just by running? Sarah Lindsay, former Olympian and founder of Roar Fitness, warns against a regime of pure cardio, as you’re likely to lose muscle as well as fat, which doesn’t often work well as a long-term solution to maintaining a healthy body composition. ‘When you’re burning calories, that energy comes from fat stores, glycogen stores and then protein – which is essentially muscle,’ explains Lindsay. The higher your muscle mass, the higher your basal metabolic rate – in other words, less muscle means you need to eat less to get through the day. ‘So, even if the calorie deficit you’ve created by running is helping you lose weight, as soon as you step out of that calorie deficit again, you’ll likely gain unhealthy fat.’ If you love to run, Lindsay says it’s a great way to increase overall calorie burn, as long as you also focus on preserving muscle through resistance exercise. ‘Three strength-training sessions per week, along with one or two runs, is ideal,’ says Lindsay.

However, exercising on an empty stomach may not be for everyone. Food is our body’s source of fuel, and if our tank is empty we may struggle. “Some think it’s best to exercise on an empty stomach to maximize fat burning, but if you’re low on energy you may not have a good enough workout to help weight loss,” says Sarah Currie, a registered dietitian at Physical Equilibrium, a provider of personal training and nutrition management services in New York City. “If you eat something that provides energy, you’ll feel good and will be able to work harder, burning more calories.” What to Eat and When If you choose to eat before working out first thing in the morning, aim for an easily digestible type of carbohydrate and a small amount of protein about 30 to 60 minutes before exercising. Good choices include an English muffin with peanut butter, a bowl of cereal, or low-fat yogurt or string cheese and a piece of fruit. When choosing packaged foods, be sure to read the labels. “Many yogurts are too high in sugar,” says Jessica Kupetz, a certified fitness trainer at Active Center for Health & Wellness in Hackensack, N.J. “The same holds true for granola bars. Every ingredient should be one you recognize.
