Midlife crisis or long overdue change? Week 3
Sorry about not posting this yesterday. I was soaking my poor feet, and it felt so good. Yup I have blisters, not just one foot, but both feet. However it isn’t stopping me, I picked up a pair of cushion insoles to add to my cross trainers. The stats for the week, 2 x 30 minutes on the tread mill and 2 10km plus power walks. The treadmill results had me worried for a few minutes, on Monday. I was doing 5km/h and my heart rate average was only 124, which was lower than it was 2 weeks ago, even though I was running 0.8km/h faster. Talked to one of the trainers, and he congratulated me, he said it was a good sign, and recommended that I change to the hill profile once a week, instead of the 400m track circuit. He explained that I have improved my cardiovascular system enough that, my heart isn’t working as hard as it was only 2 weeks ago.
Now for the best news, weight still 92kg, however I am back to having a 91cm waist. This week will be adding another exercise to my routine.

It’s all muscle, Keith! Good for you for being pro-active.
Age is a number. I think a lot of times we just think we’ll be able to do less than when we were younger, so we slow down. I hope if I make it to 90, I’ll still be walking like a soldier on a mission causing the twenty somethings who are trying to keep up to gasp for air!
I think you can do it. I still am in good shape, just want back to being in great shape.
As for the 20 somethings, let them walk through my dust clouds. 
haha You go Keith!
Ouch!
What’s the old workout saying no pain, no gain!
