[QUOTE="FireDragon76, post: 77592589, member: 330042"] There's a fitness fad in east Asia, especially among older people, called Slow Jogging. It's jogging that is done very slowly, around a fast walking pace. Target heart rate is around 114 for somebody my age (138 - half your age is the target heart rate), with a cadence of around 180 bpm. It looks like a way to ease into jogging for somebody that is out of shape, and isn't as crazy as just going out and running. So, I created a basic running workout for my watch, and I'll have to give it a try some time. There's a whole Youtube channel with instructions and tips. Here's a video explaining Slow Jogging. It is a program created by the late Prof. [B]Hiroaki Tanaka of Fukoka University. The pace is called [I]Niko Niko[/I] (which means something like "lots of smiles") because it's suppossed to be done at an easy pace.[/B] The late professor explaining his technique: [B][MEDIA=youtube]9L2b2khySLE[/MEDIA] Some more elaborations on the technique, this one relatively recent:[/B] [MEDIA=youtube]tVJva1qj3FI[/MEDIA] [/QUOTE]
