Obesity Exercise the Right Way — Forget What Your Personal Trainer Told You
Fitness experts love to jam round pegs into square holes. For example, many love to jog and run as part of their own fitness regimen. Anytime a groupthink mentality exists a concurrent echo chamber also exists wherein other fitness experts and personal trainers reaffirm to one another that, in this instance, having untrained clients jog, is A-Okay. Jogging is an accepted industry standard.
This is a classical case of confusing exercise mode, jogging, with the exercise goal, the systematic raising of the trainee s heart rate.

High impact aerobics is inappropriate for overweight out-of-shape people. They say a little bit of knowledge is a dangerous thing. An out-of-shape person can easily generate a heart rate of 80% of age-related heart rate maximum simply by walking quickly. Is that not enough? What heart rate does jogging inflict on the out of shape person? 90% of ARHR maximum? 100%? 110%?
Does anyone see the danger here? Forcing the cardio-challenged body of an obese person to suddenly work at 100% of capacity is asking for trouble. Lunacy is compounded on a show like The Biggest Loser

How should cardio be administered to obese individuals? Systematically, scientifically and gradually, in an acclimatizing fashion wherein the individual is slowly subjected to ever-greater stress levels using low-impact exercise modes. Over time we can add additional sessions, increase the session duration and jack up the exercise intensity.
