Why I do this: Basically, it’s doctor’s orders. Exercise lowers blood pressure and cholesterol count. I also have sleep apnea, so I need to lose weight.
Goals:
- Be in better physical shape,
- stop taking anti-blood-pressure drug, avoid cholesterol regulating drug.
- Lose some weight
Routine:
- 3 x a week, fast walking at least 20 mn, using a heart beat monitor. 120-125 beats a minute.
- 3 x a week, 10 mn or more on my indoors bike using a heart beat monitor. 120-125 beats a minute + warming up and cooling down
- Stretching exercises: 1h x week + leg stretching after biking and fast walking
- Counting and recording the number of steps I walk every day, using a pedometer
I need one whole day off exercise once a week, and will take it as I like
