Back problem

[Anagloria]

I had to stop my workouts due to back injury. My doctor said NO MORE weights, jumps squats or running. I've listened but have put on 20lbs, I walk but it doesn't promote weight loss. I watch what I eat for the most part and do enjoy a glass if wine with dinner.  What Other options are there for me at age 51. I've heard of  PYO??  I don't want to irritate my back anymore.... Help!

Hi there, have you tried swimming.  The water makes you weightless so it might not hurt your back, you could also do gentle yoga to perhaps help your back, but check with your doc or consult a yoga teacher who could help you find movement to get you more limber. Good luck.

The Peak 8 routine it will quickly raise your heart rate 8 times for very short bursts, with a cooling down period in between. Ideally you’ll be sprinting or cycling full throttle for 30 seconds with a 90 second cool down in between each outburst.

This is the fastest way to lose fat and build muscle in the body. Peak 8 actually stimulates the growth hormone in the body. I encourage you to visit Dr Mercola’s site to learn more about Peak 8 fitness because I personally feel that it is one of the best ways to exercise, especially considering the speed at which you can lose fat and build muscle.

Figure your heart rate 220 minus your age 51 is 169 that is your maximum heart rate! You should work your way up to 65%-85% of your max. That would be 109 - 143 heart rate
You burn 30 percent more fat from doing cardio after a weights session as opposed to cardio on its own.
Check with your doctor first!!
