Very long time daily reader, but very rare poster
Figured I’d add a little to this thread, and apologize for length of post
Little boring history:
fixing to turn 60
5’8, 162 lbs
non-smoker but having trouble stopping dipping
former quite heavy drinker, stopped cold in Jan 2014 due to pretty f’ing bad seizure (4 months rehab) - turns out had a few untreated minor ones before big one
Prior surgeries: left ankle x2, left knee scope, fake left hip, fake right hip, right knee full blown, right leg open fracture tibia and fibula, right wrist/right elbow, and right shoulder that I refuse surgery on
Been truly exercising for 30+/- years
Exercise: used to run, but had to give it up after hips…..and told to get treadmill and start strenuous walking…..did that for 20 years but recently had to stop and move to elliptical
Daily mornings during work week: 40 woodchops, 2 sets per side of straight side planks, 300 crunches, 35 mins on elliptical
Every night: 30 mins of flexibility/stretching exercises
No soreness
I admit that I exercise mainly because I don’t want to be a fat-ass, but also because I’d guilt myself to death if I didn’t or if I even skipped a session
Other than the woodchops, I can’t do much with weights (shoulder and elbow); however, I’d appreciate any feedback / suggestions about where I can improve on the aerobic side of things
