Well, I’m no doctor, but I’ll tell you this - I do a cardiac stress test once a year. It’s more strenuous than a rigorous workout and is designed to push things to the very max. Doubt that would be a standard thing if there was any danger. That said - people are different, so speak to your cardiologist.
I’m 38 and unfit as ■■■■. This thread has scared the ■■■■ out of me. My life is at least past the half way mark. That’s a scary thought.
One thing I’ve noticed as you get older is you just don’t give a ■■■■ about other people as much. You know what you like and what you don’t like and your ideal Saturday involves a few drinks in the afternoon rather than the evening.
By this stage, you’ve certainly decided what and who you like and what and who you don’t like, and don’t like people telling you you need to change some aspect of your life.
So when people tell me I should watch fantasy or horror or Asian action films, I tell them I’m very happy watching European films…and to mind their own ■■■■■■■ business.
My biggest bug bear is pain due to old injuries, and the wear and tear on them.
Been wondering lately, … If (when) I get my fcked hip fixed via a hip replacement, … could they actually use it to extend my shorter leg so my back could be more stable?
Little known fact, while most people know Macca’s other ex was a contributing member to his post Beatles outfit Wings, his later love HMills cut her musical teeth in the seminal Canadian outfit The Tragically Hip. On stomp box.
Seems lately many of my friends are having knee replacements and hip replacements and other replacements.
My joints are just fine, and when we sit down and compare activities, these blokes all rode bikes, lifted weights, played squash and ran on hard surfaces far more than I ever did. So while keeping yourself in good shape seems a good idea, maybe we all need to think a bit more about consequences, and do things that do not wear out body parts.
