Indoor Fitness: Why Treadmills Are Leading the Way. How much should we walk, run, or jog. What program or function should we use Is it a good idea to prioritize it. There many questions we’ve been asked when we first set out on a treadmill at the gym. “It should used by everyone from beginners to intermediate to experts. And people of all ages,” adds Nahuel Kassabian, a physical education instructor at SportClub. The treadmill is compatible so anyone can walk, jog, run, or perform any movement without pain or joint impact.
On the other hand, when we go running on the street, since it’s a fairly hard surface, it can cause discomfort in the knees or ankles. If someone is heading to the gym to run with the goal of losing weight, using the treadmill will help them achieve their goal. However, Nahuel doesn’t consider it necessary. It can also substituted for other aerobic workouts in the weight room or functional training within a class, or a workout like HIIT,” explains the instructor.
The Original Treadmill
Regarding training time, the most recommended time for training on a treadmill is 15 to 20 minutes. A common question is whether the treadmill should used before or after training. The truth is, both extremes can achieved. At first, it serves as a warm-up, and we can take advantage of it for 5 or 10 minutes of walking or jogging. At the end, as a closing routine, it serves to generate greater fat oxidation. “In the weight room, we use the energy we spent the day before, or from breakfast or lunch. After consuming that fuel, we go to our own fat reserves,” explains the professor.
When asked if it’s beneficial to combine three cardio machines (treadmill, bike, and elliptical), the answer is affirmative. “They’re not enough to provide the body with several aerobic stimuli. Because it doesn’t get used to it. That way, we can generate more fat oxidation,” explains Nahuel. In a video he recorded for Clarín, the professor encourages doing what he calls a brisk walk. To do this, we do it at a faster pace than we would, for example, walking around the block. It has to be unpleasant.
First Treadmills
According to Nahuel, the best cardio systems are intermittent modes, which can be lower or higher in intensity. Most treadmills have this program included. He suggests doing a “3 x 1,” that is, 3 minutes of running at speed for 1 minute of walking. We do this for 30 minutes. If the treadmill doesn’t have this program, another option is to alternate by time. We can do 30 seconds of jogging for 30 seconds at a speed incline. By changing this stimulus, we work on intermittence,” says Nahuel.
When asked if it’s comfortable to combine walking, jogging, and running for example, from lower to higher intensityNahuel responds that it all depends on the level and the goal. The best way to do it is to constantly change speeds, to accustom the body to different stimuli and be able to continue with our training,” the instructor emphasizes. It’s very easy to mistake it for an unknown place or a hidden treasure in Málaga, one of the cities where the gastronomy—and the economy—seems to be the most above average lately.
Continuous Evolution of Treadmills
But a quick scan of the newspaper archives debunks that old wisdom of discovering La Taberna de Mike Palmer, a restaurant that’s certainly unusual in Málaga, but well-known among those who know their way around good food. One of those houses to which, by the way, one doesn’t stumble, but to which one arrives. Half-concealed in the mountains on the outskirts of Málaga, Miguel Palma has lived here for five years, building “a very ordinary, very homey cuisine” and transforming it nearly into a gastronomic refuge for those who want to get out of downtown.
The story has been told a million times, but we can’t help but wonder if the name comes from a beach bar owned by some expat in search of Málaga sun, rather than from the name of this type of business. Palma is an old pro, a first-generation chef at the La Cónsula cooking school and a dedicated apprentice to chefs like Manolo de la Osa. Years back, Palo Cortado was placed on the menu in Málaga, but he lost the brand due to disagreements with his partner, and when he planned to go into hiding to end up at the El Pinar equestrian club, he needed a new name.
Conclusion
I was too embarrassed to attach my name to the restaurant, he concedes. Half in jest, then the name Mike Palmer came. And there it remains. And there are quite a few tourists who come here with the idea of finding a foreign chef, he says with a smile. The plan was to open in 2020, but the pandemic got in the way and delayed the plans, although, in hindsight, the beautiful and spacious terrace was a big draw in the first months of opening, when everyone was still looking for restaurants with open spaces for social gatherings.
Grilled octopus with mint-flavored Malaga tripe jus is another example of this sophisticated take on traditional cuisine. Or the tongue stroganoff, accompanied by a magnificent shrimp dished up by Juan de Dios from the El Saladero restaurant, who is also here today. The menu culminates in a dozen dishes, some pre-established and unchangeable so as not to offend regulars if they aren’t present. However, the menu concludes with six daily suggestions that will have to depend on the best one that enters the pantry. In this case, the only goal is to find the best possible product.
