I often do, if I don't I'm screwed I can easily burn 1200 calories when walking 4 hours (often more depending on distance/terrain) and have the problem that I get nauseous after some 15 miles and therefore often can't eat anymore so I have to make up for those 600+ burned exercise calories + BMR after a few hours of…

That's not an answer, for all we know you're only doing 1 rep each For instance, in my calisthenics schedules I have atleast 2 to 3 sets of a minimum of 25 reps (and want to get back in the 50 reps per set, atleast if my back will cooperate since push ups aren't friendly for the lower back and especially not with my spinal…

That's the right mindset We're in the same boat

It's back to the grinder for me as well Due to injury and depression I've fallen of the wagon and now I'm climbing back on I want to loose around 40 pounds by next may

Been flagging quite a few posts You can basically see it's spam from the topic titles

Depents on who you ask 3mph is really slow in my book, I can use my phone, read a newspaper etc My normal pace is 4 to 5mph But you should get what I meant

Enough to keep the muscles challenged Not lifting lower/decreasing reps in comparisson to what you lift or nr of reps you did before going on a deficit

There are dumbbells were you can adjust the weight with disks (I got a set, ideal) And look into calisthenics, strenght training using nothing but your own bodyweight and a little space

Never took a stroll for 15+miles obviously Even at a 3 to 3.5 mph you burn quite a few calories

For me it's a change of lifestyle Back to the old days because since I was medically discharged from the Marines it kinda went downhill from there with PTSD and accompanying depression, stopped doing PT (using injuries as excuse) and started eating So now I have to turn that switch over in my head (think I'm at that…

Cashews and roasted peanuts Thinking of making a snack pack of roasted peanuts, cashews and raisins to mix things up And by using the salted nuts I solve part of my virtually constant dehydration problems when walking/rucking

NO Unless you're in boot or other military training don't do it every day Your body needs recovery time So don't work the same muscle groups every day Which is why workouts are often either split in upper and lower body days or 3 times a week when doing full body workouts That way the muscles can repair themselves and grow…

Now I say yes but call me during a 25 mile ruck or after who knows how many push ups, flutter kicks and what not and I can easily sing a different tune But I wouldn't give it up for anything

Do crunches with your feet at a 90 degree angle by placing your legs on the bed, work up to doing it without the bed support Flutter kicks ( did alot of those in boot and is still one of my favorite 'torture' exercises) Leg levers, scissors, side crunches Don't forget the back Reversed flutter kicks Supermans Windmills…

Calisthenics and walking/rucking are my main form of exercise I always liked it and during my military career it was mandatory Now it's a safe way to stay in shape and can work around my injuries when neccessary I incorporate some dumbbells (nothing over 22lb) to mix things up every now and then

I know alot of people who had that problem Most cases is that a pressure zone is to hard and that causes pain because there's not much to no shock absorption in the sole

15 to 20 mile hump

Normal day: cookies, whole grain biscuits to be precise 'Short' distance (15-20 miles) walking day: pb sandwich Long distance (20+) walking day: chocolate bar (gives me the calories, carbs and protein foundation for when I get to the point where my body doesn't really accept solid food much more)

I gained about 7 to 10 pounds this past month due to depression (PTSD related), been through so much that I often end up shutting myself out from the world (and with autism my world isn't that big to start with) and just start eating and don't stop till I'm sick Trying to break that cycle is difficult but if you don't have…

Bridge, squat, dirty dogs, flutter kicks and windmills work good for me I have a spinal cord injury and I already did all these exercises during my military career A physical therapist can make a plan that works for you with keeping your fitness level and current limitations in mind

With your plans and motivation I suggest a visit to www.stewsmith.com He got a ton of info, tips and workout ideas

Disagree with this Look it up on www.shapesense.com (you can set your own stats and pace, get a gross cal burned and convert that to net) You'll be surprised how much you can burn in an hour I'm going back to train for long distance (3 50 milers AKA Kennedymarches are my goals for next year) And wanna loose the +25 pounds…

If you're not allergic to lactose (milk) you can give proteine shakes/bars a try to preserve muscle mass

I burn 300 calories or more each day just by walking an hour at around 4mph (my average speed is 4.5mph and if I really wanna push myself I can walk a 25 miler at 5mph) and with calisthenics I can easily burn 100 for every 15 minutes and on days when I'm actualy walking (the hour a day is just my daily routine), depending…

for me pineapple (along with all exotic fruits) are deadly because of latex allergy

My 2ct worth in this is plain and simple Yes monitoring your food intake and making sure a deficit of around 500 calories is present is the key to weigth loss However 'weight' being the operative word here, since without exercise (mainly strength) you can lose alot of lean muscle mass along with your fat, and that's not…

Same as with walking/rucking, apply zinkoxide creme (like what's used for diaper rash) at problem areas when you get ready Saves you a whole lot of discomfort

5 to 6 days is exerise is good As long as you listen to your body and have a rest day there shouldn't be a problem Personally I walk atleast 5 times a week with distances ranging from 5 to 25 miles (and sometimes further) and do calisthenics 2 to 4 times a week, depending on how I'm fysically feeling because some days I…

I walk anything from 10 to 50 miles at a 4 to 4.5 mph pace I also ruck (22 to 30 pound excluding food and water)

I use www.shapesense.com It lets you set every factor and you can not only see the gross calories burned (exercise +BMR) but when you follow the link at the bottom also lets you calculate your net calorie burn
