Won't argue any of that. Let's ebb the conversation in a different direction or this will not be moved to the Political Forum. |
I've been retired for a couple of years. I occasionally dream about work, but it's generally about the people and not necessarily the work. I also have dreams about my youth. Mostly about the house I grew up in and old friends.

I do not miss the work....but I do miss people I cared about at work. I actually have lunch with a couple of them at least 2 times a month. |

All....I am moving my Cardiac Rehab follow ups to this thread (thanks BRC for the suggestion)
My third week of cardiac rehab really kicked my butt big time.... Treadmill walk for 10 minutes at a medium pace...keeping the Watts level at 45... Bicycle ride for 10 minutes at a medium pace....keeping the Watts level at 55... Another version of the bicycle ride at a medium pace for 10 minutes...resistance greater and Watts level at 45... Arm pedal only for 10 minutes with Watts at 45 30 leg lifts with a 10 lb weight on each leg...(this one once again stayed normal) 60 stand up/sit down without using my arms.... 30 arm bends with 7.5 lb weight each arm... 20 pushups... 30 Step Up/Step down for each leg Resistance bands height level- 30 pullbacks focusing on upper body strength Resistance bands 9 feet - 30 pull downs again focusing on upper body strength For some reason the pedal only bicycle was really doing my legs in yesterday. I was struggling just to finish that one. Had no issues with the others like arm pedals and the arm & pedal machines... The good sign though is that I am only experiencing fatigue that is normal with these workouts and my Blood Oxygen Content is staying between 96-98 throughout the whole workout. I am not having any chest pains or other signs.... But dang....my muscles are still getting used to all this. I am hoping that by moving this to the Retirement Thread I can coerce anyone else who is going thru some sort of rehab will contribute....we can all encourage each other to stay on track so we can see Mahomes pass Brady in the # of Super Bowls won. |

I haven been able to do 20 push ups since I was in my 30's. |
A few years ago, my contract had me working in an Air Force office where I was easily 20+ years older than the next oldest person in the office. At the end of every stand-up, the XO would lead the office in doing twenty push-ups, so of course, I chose to drop and knock them out too, but I usually did twenty-five.
One of the Master Sergeants came over and told me that since I was a civilian (and by implication "old"), I wasn't required to do the push-ups. My reply was, "I spent too long in the Army to let some airmen outdo me in push-ups." The look on his face was priceless. :evil: Quote:

I have 4 PT's left for my balance issues, PLUS 6 Occular Therapies! Will be interesting to see what all that entails....

Just before I had my first heart attack I probably wouldn't have been able to do 5 push-ups....let alone walk a half mile. I agree this appears aggressive but the Rehab group was the one recommended by my Cardiologist and they have a pretty good success rate. |

That's a lot. I find at 63 going on 64 that life is a constant state of rehab. I've been getting in some workouts and one thing I see on your list is Step Ups. I do those to strengthen my legs and hips and it really helps with the issue I have there. I'll hold a kettlebell in each hand and I add about four inches in height. It really gets my heart rate up.
Keep it up! Quote:

It's bad enough my arms are jello after doing the push ups. |
