Hey Jerry,
I lost about 60 pounds low carbing and found that with distance or
performance cycling I needed to do some carbing up in order to perform
well.

My guiding light in this arena is usually to be found on the
weightlifting
newsgroup (although I haven't been there in at least a year, so who
knows
where he is now). This article is likely to be helpful, but its
geared
towards weight training - read it anyway, the concepts are the same.

If I were going to train for a short race like a 10K, I would be doing
intervals. In my experience there is no faster way to improve your
cardio
fitness than intervals.

Frankly, I do not know how anyone in this world gets to be 60 pounds
overweight! You must have to really work at it. How are you able to do
it
other than eating like a pig and never moving a muscle. We here on ARBR
need
to know this so we can gauge your level of intelligence.

How would an overweight person lose weight if not to exercise? Silly,
troll, please try again!

So then, you did eat like a pig and never moved a muscle in order to gain
those extra 60 pounds? But we here on ARBR would like to know your mind set
while you were doing this.

The fact is that all Americans are at least about 20 pounds over weight. I
think we must be the fattest people on earth. I think the reason for it is
that food is plentiful and cheap and we have machines to do all our physical
work for us.

When I was a kid looking at TV there were no remotes and I was constantly
jumping up and down changing the channels. Now that I have a remote the only
thing that ever gets any exercise are my fingers. As is well known, you must
exercise the large muscles of the body (like the leg muscles). Exercising
the small muscles of the body (like the fingers) will do absolutely nothing
for your weight and/or physical fitness. Thus spake Zarathustra!

And please, do not insult us with your prescriptions for physical
training.

Since I went from 60 pounds overweight, to teaching fitness classes, who
better?

Agreed!
