  • The share of Americans medically obese is projected to rise to almost 50% by 2035

  • their version of lifting weights is like 10lb dumbells and 5lb ankle weights. not full body lifting

    They specifically mention resistance across all muscle groups and recommend a single set (8-12 reps). They imply that weight should be increased, rather than increasing the number of sets, with muscle fatigue being a a good measurement of effectiveness.

    Adults should also do muscle-strengthening activities of moderate or greater intensity and that involve all major muscle groups on 2 or more days a week

    (from pg. 56)

    muscle-strengthening exercises should be performed to the point at which it would be difficult to do another repetition. When resistance training is used to enhance muscle strength, one set of 8 to 12 repetitions of each exercise is effective,

    (from pg. 61)

  • NIH recommends 150-300 minutes of moderate activity (or 75-150 minutes of strenuous activity) every week. If I keep my HR in the 130s for 60 minutes, that's ~120 *minutes" due to the intensity. I don't 10k every day, usually only once a week.

    When I did the 5k every day that was too much. But 5 days/week or 3 5ks and 1 10k per week is just about right, as long as I keep up the intensity (if they get too easy, I can increase distance or grade or resistance to maintain HR for the right amount of minutes).

  • I only do 2 days a week lifting, that's the NIH recommendation. Granny wants to do 3, but that doesn't currently fit into the rest of my life.

    I would do cardio every day, but things get in the way of that often, too.

  • I haven't really looked into them, so I'm not sure. I guess it would depend on risks and side-effects. I do think they would help me consume fewer calories by reducing how much I overeat,, so they could be worth it.

  • If you doubt BMI (like many of the replies I got to my other comment), you can probably ignore this study:

    Design, Setting, and Participants Analysis of measured body mass index data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey and bias-corrected body mass index values calculated from self-reported height and weight data from the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System and Gallup Daily Survey using spatiotemporal gaussian process regression and an ensemble of annualized rate of change and meta-regression bayesian spline models. Surveys for input data were conducted using population-based sampling by state and by race and ethnicity group with a total of 11 315 421 US participants.

    Main Outcomes and Measures Obesity prevalence (BMI ≥30).

    So, one reason I'm concerned about my BMI (39.5 kg/m2) is because I'm making my country look bad. Tho, with Trump at the helm, my contributions to that effort are overshadowed.

  • I did. I didn't start lifting until I had my cardio doing much better. IIRC, I started lifting after I is a sub-30min 5km for 28 days in a row. But, I might have did some lifting before then.

    Cardio is more my priority because the NIH recommendations are primarily about cardio, with weight/resistance training being secondary. I need to get my running / treadmill 10km to under an hour -- the Nordictracktm lets me do a sub-hour 10km, but I'm not sure it's getting my HR up quite as much as treadmill time. I find it easier to keep myself in "zone 2" on a treadmill with HR sensors in some hand grip.

  • I think most people give their single-arm / free-weight curl weight. I can only do about 25 on my left arm with that. (My right arm does more and doesn't hurt in the same way.)

    The curl machine I use has both hands on the same bar, and that's how I can do 60. I don't mean to be confusing, but I often have trouble talking about lifting because I'm entirely self-taught and didn't start paying attention to what I was doing until I was like 40. (I avoided exercise for most of my life.)

    That said, I'm doing more weight than many people in the gym, so I'm not small. On the hip extension and the rotary abdominal / oblique machines, I do the whole stack 170 lbs. and then +20 lbs.

    No shade to people no matter what they can lift. Honestly, I'm more proud of what my 93-year-old grandma does, and it is understandably much less. Health the goal, not weight. You just move the weight up to make sure you are continuing to exert.

  • Cholesterol was high last time, but normal the time before that. Magnesium was normal this time, but high the time before. Dr. seems to think things are fine (or at least hasn't called me out on anything), with the exception of my BP, which is fine with my current prescription, but will baseline to 150+ if I go off it. BP isn't sodium sensitive; still goes to 150+ on a very low (near minimum) sodium diet.

    Definitely a lot better than when I was 330 and didn't have my prescription.

  • I'm not trying to get bigger. I'm following the NIH guidelines to do 1 set of 10 reps and move weight up if/when you can do 2 sets.

    I was at 10x280 on the leg press for over a year, but I noticed it getting "too easy" a few weeks ago. Bicep curls still kill my left arm, and I can only do about 60 on those.

  • Yeah, I should get an 8-contact machine for home to get good BF% numbers.

    That said, it's not hard to find the excess fat on my body, so while I don't have good measurements, I know my BF% is also still too high. I have promised myself that if I can get a visible "6-pack", I'll stop worrying about weight so much, but I doubt that will happen soon.

    Weight and BMI are easier for most people (including myself) to habitually track, especially individually. But I agree that BF% is the better metric.

  • I used to be 330; I'm 5'8". I got down to 220 through diet and exercise. That's still obese. I did 10k on the Nordictrack this morning, can run a 7 minute mile, and routinely do full-body weight lifting including 10x140 chest presses and 10x300 leg presses. I'm now up to 260, which is even worse obese.

    I don't know how to get to a healthy BMI and I know I'm routinely failing to get there, but I'm trying.

  • I have problems to this day with a single monitor setup. When I switch the monitor to another input (e.g. to play with my Switch), KDE Plasma, X, or something else freaks out, about half the time (I'm guessing it has something to do with locking or DPMS timers). When I switch back, it is running that the "safe" 640x480 which can't display enough of the display settings panel under system settings for me to restore the 1920x1200 monitor native resolution!

    Things are better than 2007, and they might be better than MS Windows, but "no trouble" is inconsistent with my experience.

  • I think you misread me. The "aren't bad people" are wholly separate from the "armed religious zealots", tho both appear in Arkansas (and most states, including California and New York).

  • As a "people of Arkansas", many of them aren't that bad, but just vote R for lower taxes. Their behavior can still be problematic, but they aren't intending to hurt anyone, even people they don't understand.

    Now, some of them of monstrous religious zealots (often well-armed), and I wouldn't wish them on anyone, but I think the Danish system is just an well set up to deal with them and the American system.

  • You don't recover from diabetes by receiving insulin, so it doesn't fit into the "recovery virtually guaranteed" part of that category.

    But, yes, there are a number of chronic diseases with no cures but excellent treatments, and those treatments should be available free to the patient but are often targets for Capital to rent-seek from patients as much as "the market will bear". And, when market failure means a painful death, the market will bear quite a bit.
