Stretching before hard exercise
I've never been a fan of this widely practiced painful exercise
regimen, and now I feel vindicated because I prefer to warm up by riding my bicycle casually in a moderate gear. I don't like running anyway. http://tinyurl.com/6neoxx Jobst Brandt |

*http://tinyurl.com/6neoxx Well... People have been talking about doing light activity to get warmed up and then stretching for a long time, twenty years or more by my vague recollection. This article seems to imply most people do "cold" stretching. Once just for grins I did a short sauna session before a Spin class. Seemed like an excellent warmup; I don't know if that is commonly done by others. Except for maybe a few swimmers who don't tolerate "cold" water well, who use sauna or steam room before (and after!) pool sessions. --D-y |

Right... a very prestigious medical school there. Oh, I forgot, they don't actually have a medical school. In Nevada, the medical school is actually part of the UofN-Reno. All they've got at UNLV is a bunch of hotel admin majors who pay their tuition working as strippers and hookers. The scurrilous trashing of UNLV is funny, but it's normal for this sort of exercise research to be done by kinesiology departments, not med schools. -- Ryan Cousineau http://www.wiredcola.com/ "In other newsgroups, they killfile trolls."

Over the first 15 minutes or so, I'll gradually increase effort to something I feel I can sustain all day (which sometimes differs from day to day). I find exercise much more enjoyable when done this way. John |

I too prefer to transition into my own rhythm. I don't push any gear before _I'm_ ready. Regretfully I've never been a runner of any great distance but admire those who are. Thanks for sharing.
