Jogging for 20min continuously is too hard for me , even for 8min i think it is really like wanting to die liao. I knew it because the school got test students to run 1.5km during the PJPK lesson. I jog for about 400meter already need to walk for 100m then only start jogging back for 100m.

I knew it because the school field is 200m per round and we have to jog/run for 7.5 rounds.

chill bro.
1st you jog for 200m, then go for fast walk for 20 minutes.

i used to play barefoot on basketball court (concrete ground) when i was still young (primary school days) everyday, my skin didn't peel off can i can run like others too. But after i stopped for a few years and continue, now i cant do anything barefoot as my skin might peel off.

i dont have any specific shoe for specific purpose, i use a nike free, it's comfortable but provides no support at all to your feet.

I am feeling the ache now after swimming 1km with 3 pack of white rice, i tried swim free style at first but cant even make it a lap initially (have not swim for like 2 years lol) after few more laps i manage to finish a lap with freestyle but with all wrong pose. i use breast stroke as resting in between. And it's odd to swim back stroke as it's difficult to see forward summore doing it in a crowded public pool.

With swimming, remember to take a short break. 1-2 min will do. And then start again. You just might find your second wind.

I used to also thread water for a few min. Sometimes 10-15 min. Helps to strengthen the leg muscles and arm muscles.

Added on April 11, 2009, 11:51 amCompetitive breaststroke is hard. I used to get whack by the trainer because I don't kick out well.

you have a trainer before?

My trainer went to pursue his higher studies after i just learn for a month, not much i have learned there

in breaststroke my leg is not doing the job at all, my arm is much more tiring
Even my ankles hurt a bit, i wonder why

My Dad put me and my sis into training when we were 9 and 11 yo respectively.

Maybe ankles need stretching? Either that or your ankles need strengthening or they were taxed because of high heels or improper posture?

My problem before was the kicking out. I wasn't using tilting my feet enough that I was using the inner side of the feet when pushing my body forward. Kena nag like yell.

Do some water treading, practicing the move. Also, get a kickboard and go a few times just getting your kicks rite, I guess.

yeap my ankle is quite stiff, i cant even sit in a kneeling position ( those Japanese tea ceremony sittings? ) it really hurt. I have a very strong joints, good is that i am not easily injured, bad thing is that it's very stiff =/

Stiff and strong joints will easily hurt when we become old (esp after 50 year old). It's because we are just too old, and our strong joint will become not-so-strong already. Without enough flexibility, a lil more push and we will sprain, haha. Oh well, I am not even 50 year old, but started to have some feel now.

Contrary to what you may think, strong joints doesn't mean bad flexibility. In fact, flexible joints actually help AVOID injuries.

Take two people, one who's flexible and one who's as stiff as a bloody stone with rock hard strong joints and jump on them. The one who's flexible is able to bend and absorb the impact while the rock stiff guy will likely, occur injuries because of the impact. Ever noticed when a weightlifter cleans a weight (gets it from the floor to teh shoulder), they always rebend their knees? This is to absorb the impact from the weight as it "POPS!" out of their shoulder when standing.
You just need to stretch your ankle. Google this. "Tricking stretching" There's a site that teaches a lot of stretching. It's a tricking/free running site but it's got good info. Even free running needs good flexibility. When they jump and land, they always rebound and roll to minimize impact.

yes pizzaboy, you are absolutely right. A grass can stand wind better than a tree due to its flexibility.

Side note : Just pick up another book. "Healthy for Life : Developing Healthy Lifestyle that have a side effect of permanent fat loss" by Dr. Strand and Donna Wallace. Surprisingly, the book is easy to read and apparently using GI index by itself may not be so good. He suggested using another indicator known as Glycemic Load.

Only done 1/4 of the book to read. Looks like a good buy.

Planning what to cook tomorrow - banana nut bread (need to get out and get pecans). Also, maybe another casserole and do a potato soup for Granny (the trick is to add in 1-2 pcs of bacon before blending it).

Also roasting an eggplant later and then add in some homemade tomato sauce and mozzarella cheese in it.

Hmm...and maybe need some cucumber + tomato to make some salsa salad.

Errr...although I should warn you that even though it sounds nice to read here, it doesn't always come out looking nice. LOL!

look at my lunch i just prepared xD. I just tried Goodday low fat milk, it taste exactly same like the fresh milk i am drink + it is much more expensive.

Australia Carrot + sweet corn + cabbage + chicken fillet + tomato + salt + vinegar + extra virgin olive oil.

hahaha, I just took Pizzahut garden salad as my lunch just now. No mayonese and salad sauce of course

I always fail to keep my back straight when i stretch

the stretch here is pretty good, it range from the beginner one to the advance, with humorous comments.

Looks nice. Try with grated carrot, slightly different flavour. Boil chicken with thyme or rosemary and pepper.
