Hello everyone!
Time for another update from meāitās been a while.
This morning, I had my six-year appointment with my cardiologist. Nothing out of the ordinary. We chatted about my kids and their sports careers.
At the end of the visit, it was just, "See you in a year..."
He did ease up on my workout restrictions a bit, just telling me, "Don't be squatting 500 lbs..." (which I donāt). I told him I focus on high reps. I also mentioned that I recently surprised myself by doing five pull-upsāI wasnāt sure I could do even one! Considering I weigh 225 lbs, thatās a lot of weight to pull up.
I also told him I spend time on the treadmill, though Iām slowāabout 1.8 miles in 26ā27 minutes. I asked if jogging two miles was a realistic goal, and he said it wasāI just need to put in more work.
He mentioned that heās 43 and in good shape, but even for him, running two eight-minute miles earlier in the day was tough. It made him wonder if it was worth pushing that hard.
Good luck to everyone that has or had a recent surgery! Keep your head up and keep fighting to get better and stay healthy!!
