XTreme Posted July 31, 2023 Share Posted July 31, 2023 Just got back from the Docs after getting the results of all the tests they did.....ECG, blood, and urine. I've never had anything like that done before so I had no idea what to expect. Especially with me having had Covid (plus four jabs) and whether all those may have caused other issues. And the result was that apart from having marginally high cholesterol I'm in perfect shape. Which was a shock for me considering I'm nearly 70. I don't need to take any medication for the cholesterol because it's nowhere near those levels, but I have been told to go out walking! But as I told her, that's not possible until I get my Hernia done. And even then it's going to give my knees grief if it's any sort of distance. So the other option is a bicycle apparently. 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand Whatever you choose to do after such a long period of inactivity is going to cause you a lot of grief, whether you're successful will be very dependent on starting off very small and building up very slowly. The level of commitment is usually where most people fail. 10mins max every other day for the first week, then once you can do without no consequences 10 mins everyday, then once 10 mins everyday is too easy increase by no more than 10% each time on the distance. Do not instigate another increase until you can complete the exercise with complete ease. Exercise bikes are the best choice for someone getting back to fitness because the resistance can be lowered, you can cycle consistently without starts and stops, you can easily measure what you're doing and it's possible to watch tv while you're doing that boring 10 minutes. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I was a kid my old girl wouldn't pay out any money for me to get one, and once I started working I was old enough to get a motorcycle.

Expand They’re similar to motorcycles, except really slow and you get to places exhausted. Is there nothing you do daily on the car that you can do on an easy 20 minute stroll? Going to the bakery or something like that. I think gently walking is a lot easier on the knees than bicycles, plus you’ll hate getting on a bicycle until it gets cooler. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pedro Posted July 31, 2023 Share Posted July 31, 2023 Maybe consider getting a heavy motorcycle. Something tall too, so that you drop it when off tarmac and then takes some effort to lift up. Now that’s a man’s workout. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
