Walking is great exercise (and a stress reliever!), I try to walk for 45 minutes every work day during my lunch break. I keep trying to "up" the benefit by increasing the difficulty, I've added ankle weights and carry dumbells, and now I've found a place along my route that I can do some pull-ups. I think the next logical step is to carry a ruck and progressively add weight until that is up to about 50 lbs or so.
My resting pulse is 55 bpm, last time I checked on the automated blood pressure machine in my building: 98 over 50something. ------------- Max Charleston SC On Wed, Nov 15, 2017 at 4:38 PM, Mitch Haley via Mercedes < mercedes@okiebenz.com> wrote: > > I took daily half hour walks in the four months between my first stress > test and the nuclear test.
