wilcopops Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 Any aerobic exercise ius good. The unfortunate thing is that people do iut wrong....they have or develop bad habits, especially in relation to mechanical/skeletal movement. E.G. If you don't run correctly you are likely to cause damage to cartilidge and bone which in turn can lead to other problems in other parts of your body...in particular the back. Before embarking on any serious program of exercise, its a good idea to get an expert - a sports physiotherapist or similar to look at your style and suggest ways to improve it or avoid injury.

h90 Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 I subscribe to the finite number of heartbeats theory. Each of us has only so many heartbeats allotted to us in our lifetime. If we waste them all running, we shorten our lifespan. This is similar to the herd theory of drinking. Alcohol kills brain cells. Just as predators improve the health of the herd by culling out the sick, the weak, and the lame, alcohol does the same for brain cells, allowing the brain as a whole to perform better. Sorry to stray from topic. While I don't believe that, a good runner has very slow heartbeat when not running. 45 is common, some extreme people can have 40 and less beats per minute.

SpokaneAl Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 If you want to run, run a mile. If you want to experience a different life, run a marathon. If you want to talk to God, run an ultra. Dean Karnazes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dean Karnazes Everyone who does really long distances, no matter bike, running, swimming, mountain hiking is a narcotic addict on endorphins.......Most probably the most healthy addiction..... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjnaus Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 Cycling on the level and hiking uphill is way better for the older body. Much less stress on the knee and ankle joints. The guy that popularised jogging (Jim Fixx), died age 52 while jogging. More recently Rik Mayall, age 56, died from a heart attack after jogging. Research suggest joggers generally have shorter lives than couch potatoes, http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/weird-news/jogging-could-actually-bad-you-3341609 Right.... There were times when scientist also claimed the earth was flat as pancake and atoms were the smallest particles in the universe. Just saying. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loptr Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 Is running good for you? Yes, until you wear out your knees and hips... Don't ask me how I know... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KonaRain Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 NPR HAWAII radio topic 12/29 was Joint health. Turns out many of the hosts (Dr.Kathy Kozek) patients are Marathon runners, need hip replacements. That tells me that running is good in moderation!

katana Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 After 50, swimming is probably a lot more gentle on the joints; none of that pounding they take during jogging. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
