Guest guest Posted March 4, 2005 Report Share Posted March 4, 2005 Why Does Everyone Walk So Slowly? Dear Roger, The other day I was walking in the supermarket and getting impatient at all the slow moving people in there. It was especially slow that day as I was in there at a time when there are mostly senior citizens. I was in constant traffic jams because these sloth-like moving people were clogging up the aisles. It sort of reminded me of an original Star Trek episode where a group of aliens took over the ship. They moved so fast that the crew could only detect a buzzing sound. When I saw the aliens in " their time continuum " they were moving like we did but Captain Kirk, Spock and the rest of the crew were standing still, seemingly frozen in time. I think I walk five times as fast as some of those senior citizens. And it's not just senior citizens, almost all adults walk so much more slowly than me, they really lack energy, pep and enthusiasm. But aging doesn't have to slow you down at all. If you eat a raw diet, exercise vigorously and lead an otherwise healthy lifestyle, you should always have the energy of a 20 year old. An example of this is my friend and raw food mentor Joel Brody. Joel is somewhere in the senior citizen age range (he never reveals his exact age) but you would never know his chronological age by watching him walk. I often kid Joel because he's such a slow driver (he calls it safe), but walking on the streets of New York City, he's a speeder. When he and I walk we are always the fastest walkers and we can keep this up for hours if need be. We are constantly being slowed down by all the slow pokes out there. The only group of people who have these kinds of energy levels, are children. I can play active games and chase or be chased by young children for hours, because I have the energy. They don't wear me out, but I sometimes wear them out. What do Joel and I have in common? We both eat a 100% healthy raw food diet and we both exercise vigorously. Both are extremely important in attaining these super-high energy levels. Recently I've discovered a bodyweight exercise routine that gives me incredible energy levels. I used to get this kind of energy from doing Heavy Hands workouts. But you don't need any equipment for this exercise routine. I very often have so much energy after doing this workout that I want to exercise again soon after that. It's not me forcing myself to exercise, I just want to. There is something about exercising in this special way that produces higher levels of fitness and energy. I call it Lightning Aerobics. And by the way, running does not give me the same energy levels as doing Lightning Aerobics. Also a heavy calisthenics routine or weight lifting does not give me this super energy level. Here is the key. You must do some kind of exercise that gets you up to the very high aerobic heart range. It must go up to at least 80 to 90% of your maximal heart rate for brief periods. That rate is calculated by taking 220 and subtracting your age. So if you're 40 years old your maximum heart rate should be about 180. This of course is an approximation. Then you just multiply by 80% which would give you an aerobic exercising, heart rate range, of 144 beats per minute. After you do your intense exercise, you count your pulse for ten seconds and multiply by six and see if you got into at least the 80% aerobic heart range. Then you can rest a bit until your heart rate slows down to 60% of your maximum heart rate. If you measure your heart rate a few times, you'll get the hang of it and won't have to continually measure. You'll just know when you are in what particular range. Then you move on to the next exercise. You can use just one kind of exercise or mix in several different kinds. I sometimes also use exercises that don't get up my heart rate that fast in between the harder exercises. The key is to do an exercise that really challenges you and then rest a bit before you move on to the next exercise. You don't want you're heart beating fast for a very long time, you just want to get it up there from anywhere from 30 seconds to a couple of minutes. Then you rest until you are ready for the next exercise. The routine should be anywhere from 15 to 45 minutes. Today I did a very simple routine. It worked virtually my whole body with two exercises. Today's Lightning Aerobic Routine: 1. Regular Pushups 2. The Lightning Speed Exercise (LSE) which you can learn more about by visiting http://www.lightning.superbeing.com Any exercise will do as long as it gets your heart rate up. I love using the LSE because it strengthens up my knees, legs, butt, abdominal muscles, lower back and ankles in one exercise. But the best thing about it is that it gives me an edge on the tennis court. It makes me fast as lightning, increases my jumping ability and I can stop and change directions much quicker than before doing this exercise. At 37 years of age, I'm faster than I was at 20 and I was on my college tennis team.

Rich: And all that nonsense that they have to check out with, I hate that backup, slowed down, taking forever wait at the cash register. > I think I walk five times as fast as some of > those senior citizens.

Rich: I walk fast, but that's usually because I want to get somewhere because I'm close to missing some part of the event. But even if I'm not in a rush, I walk faster than average. Sometimes I think this is a character defect of trying to involve myself in too much and should just accept missing things more. > But aging doesn't have to slow you down at all. > If you eat a raw diet, exercise vigorously and > lead an otherwise healthy lifestyle, you should > always have the energy of a 20 year old. Rich: The internal energy is the great thing, it doesn't have to be demonstrated with speed. > I often kid Joel because he's such a slow driver > (he calls it safe), but walking on the streets of > New York City, he's a speeder.

Rich: I'm always being slowed down by all the slow pokes out there too, but like I said, I should probably curb my enthusiasm some and slow down to the walking pace that the rest of society is going at. They're probably going at the right pace, they're not worried about being a food addict. > What do Joel and I have in common?

Rich: 100% raw, the only diet I really respect. To Your Radiant Health, Happiness and Fitness, Rich Sachs www.rawfoodeaters Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 4, 2005 Report Share Posted March 4, 2005 Why I walk fast. Because I absolutely love it. Not for any other reason than that. I have a lot of extra energy and I like to burn it off. I don't do it because I'm consciously trying to be productive. The whole point is that it's great to have extra energy and to enjoy life to the maximum. If you had those energy levels, I'd bet you'd want to walk that way as well. It's not just energy. It's true enjoyment of movement. This is like recapturing your youth. Raw foods and the Lightning Aerobics program I mentioned can boost your energy levels through the roof. I also feel very sorry for the average person that is 20 years older biologically than they need to be. It's crazy that people suffer with arthritis and all these so-called diseases of old age. I even tell people who have these problems that I have a definite solution for them. And they don't believe it. Their doctors would have told them about it. It's a shame that they love their doctors so much who give them nothing but problems. People over 60 shouldn't be crawling around. But most of them move like turtles. There is so much more to life, at least the people on this board know they have a better choice. Take care, Roger Haeske P.S.

Guest guest Posted March 4, 2005 Report Share Posted March 4, 2005 Yes, anyone eating a raw diet at any age would have great, renewed, invigorated energy. There'll be peace ever after and love and light in the valley. rawfood , " Roger " <roger2@m...> wrote: > People over 60 shouldn't be crawling around. But most of them move > like turtles.
