Kule minyaka ingama-20 idlulileyo, ukulinganisa ukubetha kwentliziyo yam bekungekho kwi-radar yam. Ngokuqinisekileyo, kwiiklasi zokufaneleka kweqela, umqeqeshi uya kundikhokela ngokujonga izinga lokubetha kwentliziyo yam, kwaye ndiye ndazama iimonitha onokuzifumana koomatshini be-cardio. Kodwa ngokunyanisekileyo, ukubamba izivamvo zentsimbi ngezandla ezijulileyo ayisoze ibe ngamava amnandi, kwaye amaxesha amaninzi ayifumani nokutsala kwam.

Okwangoku, ndisazi ukuba ndiza kuba nzima malunga nokwehla kobunzima kulo nyaka, ndatyala imali kwinqanaba lam lokuqala lokubek 'esweni kwentliziyo. Kwaye ngelixa oko kuvakala kupholile, akulunganga ukuba umntu onxibe engazi ukuba amanani athetha ntoni. (Ngaba ndikhankanyile ukuba andazi ukuba athetha ntoni la manani?)

Ke kwiiveki ezimbalwa ezidlulileyo ugqirha wam omtsha wezidlo, uHeather Wallace, ndacebisa ukuba ndibhalise kwiLife Time Fitness Team Ukuhla kwesisindo, iklasi esekwe kwinqanaba lendawo, ukuze imetabolism yam ivuselelwe ukuze ihambisane noqeqesho lwam lobunzima. Xa wakhankanya igama elithi "indawo yokusebenzela," ndamjonga ndingajonganga nto.

Uye wacebisa ukuba ndithathe uvavanyo lwe-VO2 ukuze ndiqonde ukuba ndingakusebenzisa njani na ngcono ukusebenza kwam ngokufunda iindawo zam. Ndiyenzile, kwaye kuyinyani, ukusebenzisa eyona nto inzima kwitreadmill enemaski ayengeyiyo eyona nto imnandi. Kodwa iziphumo zazityhila. Ndifumanise ukuba le yimimandla yam:

Ummandla 1: 120-137

Ummandla 2: 138-152

Ummandla 3: 153-159

Indawo 4: 160-168

Indawo 5: 169-175

Ke zithetha ntoni? Umda woku-1 nowesi-2 yeyona ndawo iphambili yokutshisa amanqatha, ngelixa indawo yam iphezulu, amanqatha amancinci kunye noshukela omninzi endiwutshisayo (oku kuyinyani kuwo wonke umntu). Kodwa eyona nto yayindityhilela kukuba iindawo endihlala ndizenza i-cardio ibiphezulu kakhulu okanye iphantsi kakhulu. Andizange ndibe kwindawo yam yokutshisa amafutha! Oko kuchaza ukuba kutheni bendisoloko ndidiniwe emva kokusebenza kwam-bendisebenza nzima kakhulu.

Iindaba ezimnandi kukuba inqanaba lam lokufaneleka lingumndilili (ndicinga ukuba oko kungcono kunomndilili ongaphantsi), kodwa umqeqeshi oqhube uvavanyo lwam uye wachaza ukuba ukomelela kwam kwi-cardio kungaphuculwa kakhulu ukuba ndilandela izikhokelo ezithile ezinjengokusebenza ngamaxesha amatyeli amaninzi njengoko iveki eneentsuku ezimbini ezilula, usuku olunye olulinganisiweyo, kunye nosuku olunye olunzima.

Eyona nto ndiyifumene imangalisa kakhulu, nangona kunjalo, kuxa ndibaleka kwindawo ekufutshane ndingahamba imigama emide ngokuhlala kwindawo yam esezantsi etshisa amanqatha-ngoku ndiyazi ukuba zeziphi iindawo zam!

Oku kuqonda kwakumangalisa kwaye kwatshintsha ngokwenene ukusebenza kwam. Ndiyavuya ukubona ukuba loluphi uhlobo lwenkqubela phambili endiyenzayo ngolu lwazi lutsha.
