Quality vs Quantity
Along with thousands, nay, millions of people around the globe, I’ve been trying to fitten myself up. So I’ve replaced the MacDonalds and other fat-bastard food with salads and seafood. No problem. I got a gym membership about 6 or so months back, but now that I’ve moved flats, I’m like an extra 8km’s and a number of busy intersections further from the gym – its a cosmic conspiracy I tell you!
Anyways, never to be defeated, I’ve started jogging. Fortunately right by where I say, there’s a lovely collection of sports grounds and fields etc as well as a long and winding path around this huge traffic circle of around 2km. Its not always a pleasant experience, slogging away, face into the icy wind and thus, as you can imagine, I was grateful to stumble on an article on The Register that brought to light a marvellous new discovery.
McMaster University’s department of kinesiology in Canada have released a report stating that 90 seconds of intense sprinting provides one with the same workout as a 1-hour jog. Wonderful!
That means more time in bed and in front of the computer and less time outside in the blistering winter cold.
Lets hear it for kinesiologists!
LOL.. Umm, may I ask when it was that you layed of the McDonalds, because if my memory serves me correctly you were munchin on it the other day! lol But you get those 90 second sprints in there and I am sure it will do ya just fine! Hahahahahaha
That’s McKewl dude, I can spare 90 seconds. But listen, re-evaluation is essential in this case because it seems to me that getting fit so you can – to quote LazyPiggy “go back to MacD’s and all the other wonderful fat bastard food…” is a problem. But then LazyPiggy does sound like someone to be voted “most likely to be found dead from heart failure while bending over to tie his shoe-laces”. Anyway, I can assure you that even a 1000 second sprint to the local McDonalds to eat a McMuffin would see you at the losing end of a McFat battle. And possibly a McCoronary issue. Stick with the salads dude, you’ll live longer, don’t give in to the McD’s hunger. Just say no to McDonalds
:-0
I’m shocked!
Ag, it’s ok….i prefer Nando’s anyway! :-)
Im with dale on that one…sorry pork chop!!!;)
hey fatty, play touch rugby for 2 hrs and u’ll sprint longer than 90 secs and include your 2km jog all at once…so then u can go back to MacD’s and all the other wonderful fat bastard food that every person should enjoy! hahaaa!
