Still think you're on to something, Abby.
I'm seriously thinking of lowering the intensity this week (though I tend to be an intensity junkie) during cardio w/o's, esp. with TTOM imminent. I have to workout in the evening, sometimes eating a little early so I can get in a w/o before getting ready for bed (since we get up at 4:30, I usually aim for about 9 and generally make it between 9:30 and 10). Fortunately I can workout hard and still fall asleep a couple hours later. Maybe lighter intensity w/o's though would be better, not just for appetite, but for sleeping?????

Daisyduke, I'm trying this. I've been doing some vintage Kathy Smith workouts to get in more cardio. I've been concentrating on a lot of weights lately, and I'm not losing much fat at all. Ever since my knee surgery a year ago, I've been limited in the cardio I used to do, but then I got the idea to try lower intensity, but longer, cardio to see if I can tap into some of these excess fat cells that don't want to leave. I'm still doing some weight training, but my Kathy cardio is taking priority for now.
I just started this on Monday, so I don't have any results to report yet, but I'll let everyone know how I'm doing in a week or two. I've got two vacations coming up in September, though, so that will screw up my workout schedule, but I can always get back on track after that. I hope this helps! Sue |

I just realized this thread is 11 years old.
And I was amazed reading Abbyalex's posts (thinking they were new) since I know she was a longtime yoga-and-moderate-exercise advocate. Actually, I don't think I've seen new posts from her in a while.

Really!

As a Type 2 diabetic, whose condition did NOT present as mild, but also with plenty of knee and orthopedic issues, I have to go with low impact, but as high of an intensity as I could muster within those constraints. And going easy on the added resistance ... yup, it makes me actually hungry. I find I have to low-carb (which dampens appetite), as do a lot of Type 1s, but Type 1s can correct with injected insulin; and they could go as low-intensity/low-impact (including yoga, barre, pilates, stretch work) for as time-limited of a period, too; as they may like.] Planet Pancreas has different bedfellows. Me, I like time-limited much of the time. Intensity, though MUST be there ... (even then, to an extent; the cortisone response is heightened in us planetary citizens if you hit the anaerobic zone ...more than in normal folks) Do not know if Abby is around to read this ...

So, she is still right, even for my case. Low-impact anything, by its very nature, cannot be really high intensity. Moderate-to-high, by the time the exerciser has done it for a number of years. I'm "outgrowing" workouts frequently.
