Workout Revisions

My workout at the gym today was completed without any incident. No modifications necessary. However, I followed a few new senior citizen precautions in the weight room:
  • Never bend down to adjust weights, etc. Squat instead, so that the head never dips below the torso.
  • Allow ample rest time between sets, just enough to prevent hyperventilation.
  • Never stand up abruptly between sets.
  • Take any additional rest time, if necessary.
And, during my cardio workout, I make sure to check my heart rate every few minutes. At my age, my target heart rate should not exceed 129 beats per minute. Yeah, that's really low. Currently, I operate within 127 and 142 beats per minute.

I have also initiated the new rule concerning coffee: only one small cup in the morning per day. I have also invoked the mandatory daily consumption of one standard glass of wine in the evening.

Diet considerations have forced me to permanently mummify the Fast Food Sunday event. In addition, I have placed a limit on greasy "value menu" items to two per week. Although much more costly, I will be choosing healthier food items no matter where I dine.

The premature dysfunction of the Vienna Sausage may also be an indicator of heart and blood circulation problems. I don't dare to "test" the Vienna Sausage. No explanation necessary. Well, at least I won't have to maintain the hurdy-gurdy video library (HGVL) anymore. Sheesh!

  1. Could be prostate problems, too, another bane of a mans declining years. Apparently, there is a substance like testosterone secreted by that gland that has it's bit to play in the Grand Scheme of dickus erectus, as the Romans used to call it. Well, no, actually they didn't.
