Hello:
My daily blurb. I was reading more about the importance of building muscle mass for the purposes of improving blood sugar. And, surprisingly anaerobic is better than aerobic for this. But, I have been walking every day for about 6 weeks and I don't want to give that up.
I like bicycling but I need to lose more weight. So, the book I was reading suggested adding one pound wrist weights and swing the arms. So, now I can do a bit of both plus look a bit odd I imagine. That's okay, my neighbors think I am a little odd already :)
Have a good day everyone - stay fit!
Oh, I made hot sausage with pepper and onions matched with sliced tomatoes and mozzarella. OH BOY I went over calorie by 100 but I think that is okay too.

Some of the things I've read suggest that walking (or any other low-moderate intensity exercise performed over long durations) is great for burning fat .. so don't give it up! Adding wrist weights while walking essentially adds weight, which elevates your heart rate. As long as you are breathing comfortably and don't feel like you are straining, that's fine, but if you elevate your heart rate too much with the weights, it might be counterproductive to fat burning. To build muscle mass you may need to work specific muscles more intensely. One way to do this without investing a lot of money in gym memberships or equipment is to get a set of elastic exercise bands and use them at home -- taking 20 minutes out, or while you are watching TV. I have an inexpensive set with a number of bands with different resistance. There are tons of on-line videos demonstrating exercises. GOOD LUCK.

Acooley: Thanks for the input. Yes, I will continue walking as it makes me feel better. And, will test the weights this Sat when they arrive and will keep in mind heart rate.
