[QUOTE="AloeSvea, post: 1629333, member: 150927"] [FONT=Arial][SIZE=4]I had my inaugural ride on a new bike yesterday, and yes, had much cause, and pause, on said new bike, to ponder the differences of moi age 20 something and moi aged 50 something, and riding. (Not a weekend warrior, but physical exertion using a large amount of muscles not usually used nonetheless.) Remembering the big hills I used to bike up, and shaking my head at the fact I had to get off and push the bike the last not-very-steep incline :(. But, saying that. I have gone on walks with very un-diabetic friends of similar middle-age who do not 'have to exercise' the way I do to try and offset the hyperglycemia and too-early death etc etc, and they came off very poorly in comparison indeed. (My poor friends! I was shocked!) So if we are doing that 150 minutes minimum a week (the 'about 30 minutes of activity 5 times a week'probably random recommendation), we probably still clock up quite well comparatively speaking, to peers who are not doing so. The bike ride did humble me though, for sure. Never a bad thing. And yes, muse on lost youth and physical ability. But getting back on the saddle today - onwards and upwards! No time for feeling sorry for ourselves! ;) (Accompanied by much panting and post HIIT deep breaths.:))[/SIZE][/FONT] [/QUOTE]
