redwood13 Posted April 29 Share Posted April 29 Last job I had was taken out of desperation as I'd been out of work for over a year. Worked nights, 21:00-07:00 seven days and then 7 days off. As mentioned at the very least the first day off is just a recovery day and as I was in my sixties it frequently took more that one day to recover. I remember my daughter saying how much better I looked after I quit. Did that for 7 years until I hit 65 and social security pension kicked in. Then I moved to Thailand. That was in a hospital lab in a rural setting and maybe the most gratifying job I'd had as I got a lot more patient contact than I'd ever had in other similar jobs. But yes, after 7 years I was definitely all done. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krapow Posted April 29 Share Posted April 29 Circuits class called off late notice, maybe instructor was ill or something. So decided to go and test my running, see if i could do the same as i was before covid, which was the last time i was running on treadmills. Done 5km in 30mins, which pleased me, same as i used to do. And plus not long back from 3 weeks holiday, where apart from scuba, i didn't do any exercise. So getting back to fitness. Happy enough, though would have preferred an hour's circuits. HIIT tomorrow evening, have booked a spin class just incase the instructor is still off. Good cardio workout, a proper spin class where they get you as if cycling up a hill, and working your arms as well. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do 45 minutes at 6mph on the treadmill every day, keeps my weight down as I am not doing anything else currently, and keeps my fitness up. No interest in weight training anymore, don’t want to aggravate my right shoulder as it can give me pain. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you ease into it with light shoulder exercises you will be able to eliminate the shoulder pain. Guarenteed ! It's liberating mate. Or.... you can continue to be a true mashcocist. 55555 !

No interest in weight training anymore, don’t want to aggravate my right shoulder as it can give me pain. I am off to do 30 minutes on the treadmill at 6kph (not quite up to 6mph). Then about 30 minutes of fixed weights. Would be walking up my ridge for about 2 hours total, but the weather here in Wales is yet again wet and miserable. I do agree though that my fitness regime is better suited to walking distances rather than pushing weights. Seem to lose more weight when upping the walking. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walking is the only thing I’m interested in now, to old to worry about gaining muscle. Plus I enjoy it as well. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yessongs Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 Any of you guys who live here, find yourself eating less because of the brutal heat? I have lost 3 pounds in the last month....even though yes, being in an air-conditioned home, you still have to go out and about. Just seems like my appetite is just not as strong right now. I normally weigh about 205 lbs, just checked, I am at 202 lbs. Yesterday at the gym, someone said to me "you look a bit thinner"? 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My weight has little to do with my day-to-day diet, all related to beer (i don't drink wine or stronger stuff). But apart from the beer calories there are unwise food choices while drinking beer - fish & chips and pies being the main ones but also nuts and cheese if drinking on the balcony at home). If i cut out beer for 4 - 6 weeks my weight will go down. 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The heat hasn't affected my eating habits, it's my exercise routine that has been affected. I've never cared for indoor exercising, so the brutal heat has really put a dent in my usual exercise routine of a daily bike ride or walkabout. I also haven't been on a hash run for about six weeks as I can't see myself enjoying running around jungle trail in the later afternoon heat of the day. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zambo Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 I am sure knee pain or stiffness has been covered before, but i think no harm to raise again. I have got as much improvement as i think i can by exercise, but still have stiffness after exercise in one of my knees. Quite bad stiffness the following day. Anybody found tablets that work? I see possible supplements are: Glucosamine (tried this before but didn't notice much change.

Stillearly Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 Just come back from the gym ... just had an induction as I move to a new circuit ... my eccentric weights are now 30% ( moved up from 20% ) more than the concentric movement.. the aim is to control both movements ... and eventually get to 50% difference 💪 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am just the opposite, love indoor exercise, always have. Weight training is a must for me...sadly here, no outdoor jogging for me, even in the cool season, just too hard as far as the heat.

The calories are burned off the next day with my bike ride and lifts in the gym (4 or 5 times a week). Occassionally take a 5 day break. All seems to keep me in reasonable balance, and enables me to enjoy some brews. Getting super loaded is rare. But, every now and then a little extra is managable. Like today. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not trying to get into your personal business but..do you have a regular exercise routine? You can drink beer..if you balance it out with cardio especially..... I am at the gym 3 times a week for an hour, not so easy to check but i expect for weight control that has minimal effect, more for mobility and keeping muscles in tone. For cardio i do 2km runs 4 times a week (some on a treadmill) so thats about 4 x 130 = 520 calories. Thats it for regular exercise, so the greater amount of calories burnt will be walking to work and back and general living and breathing. Looks like beer control will have to be kept in place, but nothing better than a couple of ice cold draft san miguel for stress relief when needed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd guesstimate about 8 beers/week reduction = roughly 150 x 8 = 1,200 calories. Watched my carbs and worked out regulary. Lost 40 pounds in 1 year. I have pretty much kept it off ever since. Not ever gonna quit beer completely. Life is meant to be enjoyed. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes agreed with that including the carbs. I'm in the process of losing 5kg so not too challenging. Then try to stabilise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many times people have said to me "If you stopped going to the pub you wouldn't have to go to the gym". My reply is always "That's two of the things that I enjoy most you want me to stop,no effing way". 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
