My Dr. was astounded at how much my 'Bad Cholesterol' had decreased as opposed to the kinda lousy 'Good Cholesterol' had increased. In addition to that, I was astounded at my BP. 120/70 for a 51 y/o that's had a fairly dubious past is outstanding!
EKG is good and the other one where they check out your pump is good....weight's even down 5#
She asked 'what did you do?'
I said, I got a set of rollers and a trainer for my bike and then bought a new bike and use it.
She asked, is it a road bike? Is it a stationary bike? For a well learned person she didn't seem to get it, so I gave her a brief synopsis of what a trainer is. She was smiling from ear to ear....and....so was I, I guess she's not a cyclist, although she looks like one :)
So in another couple of weeks I'll have a lung test. I'll call it the lung-ometer. Dr. says, depending on how those results come out, she may give me an inhaler to expand the bronchial tubes for more O2 transition during exercise/riding.
I'm in! Riding tonight!
