I realize that Exercising Physically using the Elliptical Trainer tires muscles more than the Exercise Treadmill! Why? I do not know, but I have some assumptions :

• Using the Elliptical Trainer and / or Stationary Bicycle needs your muscles to move the pedals. The “Motor” of the Elliptical and / or Stationary Bicycle are the Human Muscles. In other words, the Speed of Motion of the Aerobic Exercise Equipments (Elliptical Trainer and / or Stationary Bicycle) are determined by the effort from the Human Muscles ;
• On the other hand, although you perspire more when using the Exercise Treadmill, there is the Electric Motor that drives the Exercise Treadmill. You just keep up with the Speed provided by the Motor of the Exercise Treadmill.

One thing that I realized is very important and I mentioned in previous posts: you must exercise physically totally relaxed.

From my experience, analysis and deduction, it seems that when I exercise when I am tense, I tend to have muscle pain. Ugh!

Thus, there is fatigue due to excessive physical exercises, in addition to muscle pain due to intensity and also muscle tension. Be careful!

Another thing: I was wrong to say that it would be better to consume pasta than protein. According to an acquaintance of mine, who is a Doctor, protein satiates for a longer time while pasta (sugar), in addition to getting fatter, satiates for less time. My apologies!

Because of the Coronavirus Pandemic, there has been a lot of impact on our daily lives in ways that may have affected us psychologically.

This is very natural, and can cause Depression, Discouragement, Tension and other Health Problems in the face of Adverse Economic and Public Health situations due to Coronavirus.

One way I found to try to relax in these situations is a Method that I realized and improved.

I do not know if this Method is used in the area of ​​Psychology and Psychiatry, but... Whatever...

To see if I am Tense, I have listed several Parameters for measuring the Degree of Muscle Tension:

01) The first and main Parameter is our Facial Muscles. You notice if you are tense when your Face is “frown”. And I feel like it takes about a few hours to relax the Facial Muscles;
02) Our Shoulders. I try to relax and feel the Pressure on my Head practically “disappear”. It is surprising!
03) The Back of our Hands. You feel the difference in Muscle Relaxation. The sensation feels like (lesser Degree of) “Salonpas” on skin;
04) Our Backbone. You feel the difference in Muscle Relaxation;
05) Our Legs, especially in the Region behind the Knees. The sensation feels like (lesser Degree of) “Salonpas” on skin;;
06) Our Ankles. The sensation feels like (lesser Degree of) “Salonpas” on skin;
07) The Back of our Feet and Toes. When you are standing, you can see if you are Tense when you exert Strength in Walking and Stepping. The sensation feels like (lesser Degree of) “Salonpas” on skin.

Another thing that can complement Muscle Relaxation would be to maintain Positive Thoughts and support each other.

Absolutely agree with the point that you must exercise physically and be totally relaxed. That's why I prefer yoga to other fitness activities.

Thanks for sharing your experience with weight loss and exercise. It's great to hear about the benefits you've noticed, such as having more energy and time for other activities. I agree that it's important to exercise in a relaxed state to avoid muscle pain and tension. It's also helpful to know about the satiation benefits of protein compared to pasta. I've been considering starting a weight loss journey, and your insights are helpful.At the moment, I am keeping my eye on Weight Loss Bethlehem PA. Have you tried anything like that? Your feedback might be helpful to me.

Yes I agree.

Perhaps because as we get older, health problems begin to appear, unfortunately some health problems are even irreversible.

I believe that health is a gift (unfortunately except for those who have been born with health problems ), a privilege that we possess and must keep to the letter so that we will not regret later when it is too late.

I had uric acid levels (which can result in renal calculi), TGO, TGP, and hepatic steatosis (which may result in cirrhosis) due to weight gain. But, now, I believe that everything must be within the normal parameters since I lost kilos and kilos of pure fat...

In fact, I know wealthy people who, even if they had all the fortune of this world, would not be able to restore their health fully before they got sick. It’s better to be safe than sorry...

And a way to prevent you from relapsing (I had three relapses given the serious family problems), would be to maintain anxiety (craving for sweet foods), stress (craving to consume food even without feeling hungry) and worries within the normal parameters so that the appetite is not exacerbated. A good Psychology professional could alleviate these harmful effects of anxiety and stress.

You can't loose weight with just exercise along, you really need to also watch what you eat...

Not true.
I eat what I want and all I want.
Just I need to run longer distance to keep weight.

I drastically lose my weight and reduce my waist size 32 to 30 after reducing eating chicken and food with chicken. Also, I stopped having my heavy dinner converting it to bowl of fruits.
