Which would be best in getting you into shape? My coach says if I RUN(Sprint)a mile everyday it would help me get into shape BUT I also ride my bike everyday so I'm trying to stick with only one of them. So if anyone is 100% sure of what they're talking about then can someone plz tell me which would be BEST or BETTER than the other in getting u into shape bike riding or running?
Also while we are talking about exercising what are reps(like what does it stand for? repititions? repeating?) and also after u do serious workouts and exercises should u rest a couple of days b4 doing more? Because after my serious workouts the next day I do real poor in basketball becuz I'm just so darn tired but my mom tells me that the best way is to keep exercising even when you're tired cuz it will build more muscle mass or something like that. If any1 knows feel free to post.Thanx.
Also I forgot to add this. Does bike riding slow ur speed down in quickness like running? Will bike running still let u keep ur normal running speed? And also any type of running will make u faster right? But if u ride a bike will it still have the same results(help make u run faster or will it slow u down in running?)? Also I can ride my bike waaaay longer than I can run. Can someone answer me this?------->>>>> Is bike riding helping ur legs more while running helps ur heart more and help u MORE in getting into shape?Last edit: 2005-09-24 16:30:57 |

Dont sprint a mile, that wiull wear you quickly. Jogging is probably the best for you. Just jog for like an hour every day (or a certain distance if you prefer). It takes a lot more energy to jog then it does to ride a bike.
To sprint a mile, your body will only digest the energy in your glycogen (inside muscles/liver) and since it ends quickly then your body wont have much of a chance to get at any fat.Last edit: 2005-09-24 16:01:04 |

| running mile is more harder, but make sure your running right so you dont screw up your mucles and joints. if you ever wake up with a sore, dont do anything that day. your body is telling you, that it needs rest. |

How about you explain what running is "right" geeuknit. I'd be interested.
There's no way you can sprint a mile. Period. Football players are gassed after spinting 100 on a kick return or whatever. You can run it, but I suggest jogging. |

Coach probably means running a mile almost as fast as he can. Obviously not sprinting, but probably more than a "jog" too.
Both running and biking are good for you. I don't have anything to support this, but I imagine running would burn more calories per unit of time. Also, basketball involves running, so running would be the best practice for b-ball. |

There is no "best" or "better" to get you into shape. You can't do one exercise repeatedly and expect to get in "shape".
Running would improve your heart and lungs a lot more than a bike would. Sprinting a mile is even better, but thats tough.
But a bike would improve your leg strength and endurance a lot more than running will. Giving you more powerful legs. It does work your cardio too.
The key word here is variety. Bike one day, jog another, and do sprint drills once a week.

| Running is better to burn calories and does more for any given period of time than recreational bike riding would. Running and other cardiovascular activities should be done everyday if possible, if you lift weights every other day is best. Lifting weights should be done every other day and never on repeating days. If your mother's advice was on weight lifting, she couldn't have been more wrong. Lifting when you are sore does not allow muscle to grow (which is done while it heals) and can damage muscle growth. I assume she is talking about lifting weights because you refer to it as helping to gain muscle, which running will not do. If you just run do it everyday even if you are a little sore to begin. If you both run and lift weights I suggest you switch off (and perhaps take off sunday). If you just lift weights I suggest you begin running (or another similar exercise) on off days. Biking will be less advantageous to you than running if you have a time frame for doing it. |

Running and biking influence different groups of muscles.
But anyway running is the ultimate exercise.
There is no such question as "Should i run or [paste anything here]"
You should always run. |

I edited my previous post a bit to make it easier to understand.
But all im trying to say is you have to have variety to be a complete athelete. |

Runnin is not something you switch off. Its a perfect warm up for any workout.
About lifting weights, yes its better to do it every day.
Its just you dont do it on the same groups of muscles.
Say monday you do bisceps, trisceps, tuesday back and chest, and so on.
Some exercises should be done every day tho- such as pullups, pushups, situps. Last edit: 2005-09-24 16:31:10 |

Jesus Lord Almighty.
Bike riding itself WILL NOT slow down your quickness in running. LACK of running will slow down your quickness in running. Also overtraining. Do not run right after an exhausting bike ride or vice versa, it will only do you more damage.
Supplement with BOTH regularly and you will see results in your leg speed / strength.
Like I said before:
if you ONLY bike and NOT run, you will have stronger enduring legs but your cardio will not be as developped.
If you ONLY run, you will still have enduring leg muscles, however your heart and lungs will be much stronger. You will be less fatigued during basketball because your heart is able to pump more blood into your muscles.
Getting in "Shape" incorporates a variety of things, not just strong heart and lungs. Being in "Shape" means the whole fucking package. |

| you can ride a bike a lot longer than you can run because you arent pushing yourself as hard on wheels as on foot. Try riding a bike in 10th gear up a hill, that'll get you tired in about 30 seconds. Running is bad on your joints, namely the ankles but also the knees. Millions of people do it anyway, but i'd just assume ride a bike intensely than run. Plus it's a lot more fun if you ask me, more breeze, you go faster, more sights to see if you travel around the neighborhood, just more interesting than boring running. |

Okay, I kind of skipped the previous posts, but maybe I'll not restate what they said.
First of all you need to look at what your actually trying to condition. Bike riding takes longer than running to start burning calories becuase your not involving your arms as you do when you run therefor running is better to lose weight. If your just trying to gain stamina or build leg muscles biking may be better. Also It depends if your trying to improve endurance or speed.
http://www.rossboxing.com/thegym.html is a boxing website that has alot of good advice on training methods. Maybe give this a look. |
