I’ve injured my back several times and I’m wondering whether I should take yoga or pilates to alleviate the pain. I’d do both but I don’t have time time…
I’d prefer to go to the yoga class seeing as it’s closer but if pilates is substantially better I would definitely do pilates.

Try one now and then the other if you feel a need to. Any way that you can stretch and strengthen your body will help your back.

I know that exercise can improve cardio vascular fitness level but is there any supplement / medication that can raise it?

any supplement/medication that raises your cardio rate is BAD BAD BAD.

it would stress your system unnaturally.

Stick to the sweat and huff method. Run,jog, etc.

see a physio or a chiropractor first. they’ll be able to fix the neck better than yoga.
but if you already have and its a long standing issue, yoga promotes healing energy to flow through your body. just let the instructor know that you’ll have some limitations or cautions. a good yoga instructor will accomodate

I’m researching different types of professions that go with my B.S. in Exercise Science. So far, I see the same labels.. risk stratification, exercise prescription etc. So I’m asking: what does a health fitness specialist really do?
Any input is appreciated!

I am sympathetic to you. Good luck with solving this issue. I’m sorry i can’t be more helpful. I get the same form of problems now and again.

Well, I quit smoking. Its been a week, but I was thinking about how to celebrate my new freedom from El Nico. What better way then to run a marathon? I’ll be improving the cardiovascular health I damaged at the same time.

I know I can’t just get up and run 26 miles. Even before I smoked, the best I could do was a painful, gasping two miles. Now, I wonder if I could even run one. But, I’m only 25 and lean. My health should bounce back quickly.

I figure I’ll start with gym workouts, treadmill, weights, yoga, aerobics, etc. to improve my heart and lungs, as well as muscle strength and flexibility so I don’t hurt myself. After that, I’m clueless.

Any runners out there? How do you train? How far off would you recommend I set my goal to run a marathon? One year? Two?

Sounds like you’re on the right track. I suggest you check out the web, places like www.runnersworld.com . They have beginner marathon plans, perfect for someone such as yourself.

Congrats on kicking the habit, and for deciding to do a marathon!

Do you have a particular marathon in mind for your first one? I imagine if you’re starting now, you’ll be looking at a late summer or early fall marathon (giving you plenty of time to do your research and train).

EDIT: C’mon Ron, you know you want to run a marathon…

EDIT AGAIN: All of the advice you’ve gotten here is really great, but it still boils down to you. If you stick with running over the next couple months, you might find that you are ready to start a marathon program within the first year, or you might progress slower and want to take longer. You can’t set such a large goal just yet, as you have very little reference for comparison. Give yourself a couple weeks or a month, and see how your conditioning is progressing. Sometimes, it will surprise you how quickly you improve if you stay dedicated to something. Also, its very hard to set a goal that is so far into the future. 2 years from now, you may have decided that running just wasn’t for you and be doing cycling or rowing or who knows what. I’ve found its better to have looser major goals (run a marathon, rather than run a marathon on this set date), then as the scale/time frame of the goal gets smaller, the goal can be more specific (run a 5 miler this week, run a short race in may, etc.).

Good luck! I hope this isn’t the last of you we see on Y!A running section!
