Member Pictures - Post Your Pics!

I'm sorry but I HAVE TO KNOW!!

I need to work on it(please staff forgive me for this 'irrevelant chat')

 

Staff note: There is an increased awareness about spam these days. This has prompted an increase in the amount of "Let's stop spamming" spam. This winds up going undetected, but just to point out...how many times has Reisen said "stop the spam" ?

Ponder that one a bit. It's one thing to be a "camera whore," as you joke, but it seems as though whenever someone's talking about anything other than your pictures, you shout 'stop the spam!' It begs the following picture:

It's not irrelevant chat...geez, the staff's so young these days that they don't even know what constitutes spam.

You're the staffmember Loco, not him...you should have flagged his "this is spam" comment as spam (because it is...every time he says it), and not just take his word for it, that this is spam.

Going off on tangents and discussing side topics however, is NOT spam...so long as they prove meaningful. And of course, I hope you find these posts meaningful.

I'm glad I'm leaving this place after I tie up my loose ends (this discussion about 6 packs being one of them).


------------------


VO2 is "Volume of O2 (or Oxygen) uptaken in a given amount of time." In other words, how much oxygen do you breathe in and process, every minute (for example)?

It's kind of easy to see that while you're sitting there reading this, your VO2 is low...but if you got up and started running around, your breathing rate increases, your heart rate goes up, your blood pressure goes up, all that good physiological stuff starts happening in order to get that oxygen flowing to your muscles: Your VO2 goes up.

But your heart and lungs (and muscles) can only work so hard...so there is some maximal value which your body cannot surpass...that is, there's some 'fastest rate' of oxygen uptake, based on how strong your heart and lungs are (and other factors). This is called your VO2Max.

(I'm going to abuse some terminology for explanatory purposes)

Once you hit an exercise intensity that requires your "VO2Max amount of oxygen" then you might think you can't go any further, or push any harder...well you can! Your body simply can't deliver enough oxygen to your muscles. This is when you rapidly fatigue (get tired) and cannot continue your exercise indefinitely.


There are a few ways to measure or estimate your VO2Max that work rather nicely...the most commonly used one is to use heart rate. Brace yourself...we're about to use linear interpolation:

Measure your heart rate at rest...like while reading this. I'll explain how if you don't know:

Open the clock in the bottom right corner of the screen. Put your index and middle fingers to your carotid artery and feel the number of pulses in 10 seconds (watch the clock). Multiply this number by 6 and you have your resting heart rate.

Now you want your maximal heart rate...a good estimate, without actually going out and running at top speed, is to use the formula:

HRMAX = 220 - (your age)

Now figure out what's called your heart rate reserve by taking the difference of the two:

HRR = HRMAX - Resting Heart rate

Now, as I mentioned before, the optimal fat burning intensity is 60% of your VO2Max. The idea is that your VO2Max is attained when you have your maximal heart rate...and your VO2 is "approximately" 0 when you're at rest (this is of course, untrue...which is why it's only an estimate).

So take your HRR, which is how much your heart changes from rest (VO2 = 0) to maximum (VO2 = VO2Max) and multiply by 60%...then add your resting heart rate:

So the best heart rate for fat burning, also known as your target heart rate is:

THR = (HRR * .6) + Resting heart Rate

Or, if you prefer to use weighted means:

THR = ((HRMAX - Resting Heart Rate) * .6) + Resting heart rate
= .6*HRMAX + .4*Resting heart rate





And this is the heart rate you want to have, to burn fat like mad. Try getting one of those wrist heart rate monitors, and go for a run each morning. It takes some commitment, but the results will pour in.

 

Dude, just hold this 'insult' and stuff. Yes, I'm young and IM NEW TO THIS FORUM. I'm starting to get to know how it feels like to be a supermod..

Why do'nt you be a supermod and go ahead? IT might be easier on your age.. and you can do a better job.. but look. I am the one, and stop with the stuff man. I only been a supermod for like 2 months. ANd I joined in June T_T

If this is going to get out of hand, I won't ban you or anything to you. You are a respected user, and it would be a stupidity to ban you for this "insult".

So, the only thing I'm willing off is to place this to the Spam Lounge.

Anyhow, going to the 6p, and the V02Max.. I remember those things though. I learning them in pE (Ya.. no surprise..)
But thanks to "take your time", on this subject. I thank you for helping me understand this exercise stuff and much more.

Dude, I don't really care if you do'nt awnser me the info. If you don't want to.. I'm fine. And dude, glad to leaving this place?

Just think of what you are saying.. peopel here don't want you to go, and now you are saying that you wish to leave? This doesn't fit anywerer here.
Wahtever, man. Hope you enjoy your great life (this sentence isn't any sarcastic at all)

Mike, if you want to talk to me or something.. not here.. the PM is there for a reason T_T.

ANyone who wants to take part of this subject will be deleted.

*Case Closed* (Not theread )

 

I'm a camera whore too! Haha. So photogenic me.

 

Haha me too, and I thought he was leaving.

 

You guys, I haven't been quite truthful to any of you... the pic that I posted... that's not really me... and the truth is that I'm actually 11 years old, and in the sixth grade. I posted the pic and pretended I was older so that I would fit in with the pre-adult/teenage crown on this website. It was stupid of me to do... I don't know what I was thinkin'...

 

LIKE OMG, your an impostor, why did you do it.? That wasn't a good idea
to post a false picture of yourself.

 

I know, I know..... I'm an idiot, and I'll understand if no one trusts me or I don't get banned in the future.

 

I don't think you'll get banned over a false picture of yourself, thus
it's most likely.

 

Hey,I know what you mean.I had a feeling you were younger than you said.I was tempted to do the same thing.No hard feelings.

 

So... I guess I'm like, the youngest on the site, huh... I mean, unlike the rest of the people... I'm ELEVEN... whoa...

 

But your age says sixteen.? Anyways post your real picture?

 

Poser! Haha. J/k. If you don't want to tell us who you really are it is okay, that is the mystery of the internet.

 

Our little chocobo is only 11

 

I ain't chokobo, I'm an oathkeeper!
