Hi. I’m 45, 6′3″, currently 280 lbs. I hadn’t worked out in almost 5 years but decided everything had to change. I started dieting a month ago and have lost 25 lbs. I quit smoking appx a week ago. I started back on my stairclimber 10 days ago. Surprisingly enough, I am in much better shape than I’d ever have expected. Currently I do an hour on my stairclimber on level 5 which burns 1150 calories according to the machine. Then, at night I do another hour on level 4 which burns approximately 950 calories. I’m eating a VERY healthy low-carb/high protein diet now. My total calorie intake for the day is probably around 1800. My protein intake is always atleast 150-200 grams. Mostly what I eat is veggies, fish, and chicken. Am I working out too much? I don’t do any more than I feel perfectly capable of and my heart rate is always under the maximum target heart rate…usually around 140 average or so. On the stairclimber I always do the “Interval Training” program. I feel GREAT! and I’m losing weight!! Do I have to take a day off? Do I have to do less? I hope not. Oh, by the way…my resting heart rate is now down in the 50’s! It hasn’t been that low in years!

Surfing the net for all things related to heart and health, i sell Seac ECG monitors for a company. a tip if using heart monitors is apply a little KY jelly to the sensor pad to make a better connection.

Maybe, I just found an answer to my struggles. I have lost 30 pounds but have been stuck for a year. About four months ago, I joined a gym and have been doing weights and cardio but the weight still has not moved nor my size really. I exercise 3 days per week. It seems that I should be doing more. Thanks, I’ll try to add another day or two.
