Concept2 Forum

I've stopped trying to catch up or keep up with all the youngsters coming into the 70 - 79 age group.

I'm rowing to help extend my life, not end it. No more falling off the seat at the end of a workout.

ll I can say to that lot, 8sWwr2, is Bloody Hell! I'll stick them out to the end of the course and see how I feel.

On the 3rd week of the statins now and I'm suffering from a dry, racking cough, not getting the sleep I need, and aching like hell. I've had no Chinese food, so no likelihood of Corona Virus, so I guess it's back on the old inhaler for now. I'll persist with the statins for the first month's course ...

Just to resurrect this thread, as a fellow old giffer, I used the following Interval session as a "Try Me and see what's left in the tank". 500m 30 sec rest, then add 500 metres and 30 secs until you get to 2000 and 2 mins rest, then back down to the 500metres taking off 30 secs each interval, the s...

Now, please tell me what med I need to take to match your 3 5k workouts in one day! :D Where? I usually manage one, plus a short ski-erg for a warm up, unless I've slipped up on back-dating entry dates. (Tell me what dates and I'll check) The statins seem OK - for now, but I've only taken 2. Doc sa...

I'm now on a low dosage of Rosuvastatin. Only the first day today, butstill feeling good. Managed a 5k today, plus a short session on the ski erg and 5k on the bike. No ill effects as yet, but I didn't expect any.

As for them not affecting mood, all I can say to that is BOL***#S.

Don't get me going on CBD...that was a total failure as well. Best with your health!

Heyyy!!!! Who cares?

I'll see how it goes. Actimel contains 2 or 3 pro-biotics, one of them having been invented by Actimel.

I'm not a yoghurt lover, but it's only a mouthful.

I received a call from the surgery last night and the doc has asked if I would try another statin. I said there was no problem with that, but I have started with the Actimel in the meantime. O just hope they're not going to be a placebo to see what reaction I have. :roll: A steady session in the gym...

After being told I had to take statins for high cholesterol tried them for 2 weeks and my times for the 2K dropped by over a minute. My limbs were aching, joints creasing me and I developed a dry cough. I stopped taking them, and almost immediately times were back on my old target time. I'm no athle...

When I first started out I could not use an exercise bike because I could not bend my knee enough (this was from an old football injury when I was attempting to score the winning try) That'd be a novelty - an Aussie scoring a try! Good luck with the rowing, just try and get some longer slow state r...

The Skillrow and Technogym apps won't install on my mobile

I'll amend that. The Technogym app has been successfully installed.

I'm with DW Fitness and they've just switched over to the Skillrow and have 3 of them facing a large screen where you can race your mates on water. (A bloody long , straight river with cgi buildings on the bank). You can't save your workouts to memory, change the view on the monitor, set intervals, ...

A fellow sufferer here dammit. Pain in the mornings is usually like stepping on a boil. Get the missis to slap you before you put your foot down. It doesn't cure it, you just have something else to think about. Anti- inflammatories work for me, but the quack won't prescribe diclofenac which work bet...

It got me thinking; how do others decide its time for a rest day?

When you reach the same age as myself or jamesg.

If you want a quick way to lose weight, try "The Potato Hack". It's worked for me.
