My cardiac report came back clean, as I expected. We’ll call it a cramp until we receive any evidence to the contrary.
But part of the report indicated “low exercise tolerance.” Not sure I would pay anyone for that diagnosis: I knew I was an outtashape lump when I went in.
So I want to find some exercise regime that will fit into what passes for a day-to-day routine, with low cost and time investment (ie, the time invested goes into the actual exercise, not travel or messing about with facilities).
Running is out. Never cared for it, and my knees wouldn’t take it. Cycling is OK but I don’t ride in town so it requires some logistics/time I may not be able to get regularly. Walking is a favorite of mine but I think it lacks the intensity required. I’m looking into it, all the same.
Rowing is one I would like, but cf logistics issues. Swimming would be OK if I swam any recognized stroke š but that also entails a commitment of time I don’t think I can make.
Looks like someone has structured a walking program around what I want (fitness and weight loss). The time commitments are an hour and a half max (I think I would be able to start at the 3rd or 4th week of the 10 week program: I can already do a 3 mile walk quite easily in about 45 minutes).
But what do you recommend?
