VO2.\u00a0 I’m not even sure I know what it means though I do recall that bicycle racers have an abnormally good rate.\u00a0 Still, on Monday next, I’ll know for sure that I’m not a bicycle racer.\u00a0 But, I may know a bit more about my exercise physiology and what kind of things will work best for me.<\/p>\n
Mens sana in corpore sano, a healthy mind in a healthy body. This is a Roman interpretation of the Greek ideal, one I’ve believed in since coming in contact with it many years ago.\u00a0 I have, from time to time, managed a healthy body, then a healthy mind, but getting the two together has proved formidable, especially so as I get older.<\/p>\n
So, I went over to the institute for Exercise Medicine and had them put me through my paces with a VO2 mask and heart leads.\u00a0 They also had me do a stretch test, a jumping high test, measured my blood pressure and, oops, took my body fat.\u00a0 The body fat was in the margin on all parts of my body except my tummy, which managed a wide divergence from a healthy norm.\u00a0 This did not surprise me.<\/p>\n
I peddled for 15 minutes on a bike with a blue mask (this guy is not me.)\u00a0 At the end they then had me go two more minutes.\u00a0 It was not too tough a test, but I don’t find out my results until next week.<\/p>\n
What I want is a better handle on my workouts, a handle related to this actual body that I have rather than the statistical average I’ve worked with in calculating my workouts up to this point.\u00a0 I also need a push to get going again on resistance and flexibility work.\u00a0 I’m hoping this will do it.<\/p>\n
An interesting experience.\u00a0 Worth it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
