Rebounding to Cardio - And age correction!

[Guest guest]

Hi,

I mentioned the 6 week sabbatical I had taken from cardio while my

construction activities were underway... Right? Well, I just got back

on the old exercycle at lunch time today and...

OMG! It felt more like a 6 year sabbatical! I can't believe I used to

do that all the time. Actually, I couldn't perform my former " normal "

effort and had to back down to what I would have considered a light to

moderate effort just 6 weeks ago. And that was horrible! YOUSA!!!

I didn't get to the HIIT / 20 MAS as the resistance, even though LESS

THAN 75% of my settings just 6 weeks ago, was far too difficult to push

that hard. Wow! What kind of decline in ability in only 6 weeks, and

that was with other efforts being performed in lieu of the cardio.

Even without the first 20 min of HIIT at the higher resistance, I still

hit over 1,100 calories on my Polar monitor. My average heart rate for

the moderate 60 minute effort was 140. ...Slightly more than it was

when performing a much more difficult spin just 6 weeks ago.

My message to all BFL'ers... DO NOT STOP THE EFFORTS. It takes a WHOLE

lot of effort to get that ball rolling again.

And for the correction...

I think I mentioned in a recent prior post that I'll be 48 years young

next month. I suppose it's the precursor to old age setting in, but, I

will only be 47, not 48. ...I'll have a whole 'nother year to get to

48. Yeah!!!

Now for my healthy lunch.

Bye.
