20 minutes on a treadmill
10 on a stationary bike

Both of these were at cardiac rehab with an EKG style monitor on me to be sure my heart rate stayed below 105 BPM

Glad to hear you are up and running again.

a short round robin this morning of 15 sets of 20 push-ups, 20 sit-ups, 20 air squats and 5 pull-ups

we were-12 this morning, but calling for a high of mid 20's- if this actually happens I have my running stuff with and will get 5-ish miles in after work

Starting to feel more like myself lately.

Preachin' to the choir, sir......

She's a bit of a health/workout fiend in her own right which is awesome in a chick you met in the 80's.... Know what I mean?

She just had an arrhythmia that went quite a while. Long story short, by the time we got her hooked to an EKG the event was over. Kicking ourselves for not hitting the ER. I'm trying to rally her back up; it really took the wind from her sails. Asking her to describe in a word how she felt after, it was "wimpy". Between her, and my other workout buddy having some sort of autoimmune joint attack issue, I got two folks I'm providing moral support to and reminding that you can NEVER let it go. You do that, at our age, you don't get it back. Keep grinding. Buck up. Etc.

Meanwhile we had freezing rain today so I cleaned out my shed.

Tues 1.5 mile run
Weds 1.5 mile run
Sat Body Attack, Body Pump

a brisk 6.5 miles in new snow; should have brought my snowshoes!

Warden, you get in some righteous workouts but who is that ugly dude who keeps photo-bombing you?

the SOB follows me everywhere!

50 crunches, 25 push-ups, assorted bridges & leg lifts etc.

Just started in the gym two weeks ago. Had really no plans of going to the gym, but got talked into it. I stepped on the scale in August I was 255lbs. Freaked me out. I started a 1700 calorie a day diet, right now i am 186lbs also 5'7". So far I have kept on the same diet plan, but wondering if I shouldn't bump the calories up to maybe 2000? I would like to weigh 175-180 and think that is ideal for my height and build. I have been doing weights for arms, legs, and abs. Also have been on the treadmill and elliptical. Really would like to get in enough shape for 2018 elk hunt. ANy suggestions?
