Keeping in Shape

[jfahim]

Actually sprinting is anaerobic and will not burn fat sorry.

HIIT, high intensity interval training is what you mean hopefully.

Where you sprint than jog and sprint and jog keeping your heart rate at a specific level to burn fat. Fat oxidation

When you jog it trains your body for endurance. You could not get that from sprinting. Though both have their benefits.
I just rode 40 miles today and that affected me a lot differently than going really fast for a short amount of time.

I am going swimming now, no matter what it does or doesn't do.
If nothing else, it burns my eyes :bigeyes2:

Today I went to the pool to do my laps and there was this old...er guy already in the pool. He was swimming next to me and the guy was doing the backstroke but he was going like a torpedo. I couldn't swim half as fast as him and it was embarassing because the Babe lifeguard is my next door neighbor and I didn't want to look like a wuz. I was swimming as hard as I could and could not keep up with this Geezer. I almost had to ask them to get me out of the pool with the lift they use for wheelchairs. That would have been horrable.

Then finally the guy got out.........And removed his "FINS".
Who wears fins in a pool?

Then I get home and was talking to my wife. We had just watched the thing on TV about Bin Ladin and she asked me if I could have been a Navy Seal when I was in the service.
I thought about it, and said, I once took a picture of a harbor seal in California, does that count?

I had about as much chance to be a Navy Seal as an amphipod has to win a Nobel Prize.

My feeble attempt of swimming laps does not really count for much.

But I am in good shape. Great actually but of course that is my opinion.
