The way to work it out (for me, according to my GP) is

217 - (0.85 x age)

He says you should exercise for 90mins per week at 65% of max HR ( WHO guidelines)...so that isn't going to take much on my part initially

I aim to do the stairs everytime I work, which is only 5 shifts per fortnight

yeah sure , but Even excercising at 65% of your maximum heart rate would put you around 113 BPM which would be fast walking pace if I'm correct so that's still excercising 4 K walk around the block is still good. I 've just gotten back from Nightly walk , nothing too straneous just nice easy pace , helps to digest the meal better I would think.

G'day Disco Owner,

Looks like you helped me start .

I had some tires fitted today to my camper - I had an hour to kill.. so I went for a walk .

About 4km over 40 minutes... but it's a start...

brilliant , walking is good , I walked my dogs last night after dinner , I will walk again tonite as soon as I get back from my TAFE classes .

Well I was back on the Exercise bike tonight, did 8.5km in 13 mins, all in sprints. falt out for the first 6 mins then sprinting when I got my breat back, till I could go no more then sprinting again. Up and down hills on the program. sprinted the last 2km on relatively flat ground at about 38 - 43km per hour. As soon as I stopped my heart rate was at 133 bpm. Recovered pretty quick and moved onto my back and bicep exercises. Almost got my back done when miss 3yo harrassed me to take her to bed.
I'm pretty happy with the way things are going at the moment. Oh walked for 5 mins at 6.4kph as a warm up.

Got 8 days off now so will have to do some walking

How did you go with your walking NM on your day off ? I've been walking for an hour each night since my last post , last night when I got back from tafe I grabbed the 2 doggies and off I went late in the night , geez the smell/aroma of jasmines in Bloom ........wow...there is no Emoticon that can describe it ....I still haven't done anything about my Mountain bike as it's still in th garage.....Definitely get around to it this weekend... next door neighbour has invited me for a 2 hour bike ride to Cowan and I reckon I'd have the fitness to do it, I will take it easy thou.

Disco95 did you complete your weights training the other night ? look forward to hearing more from you guys about your excercise program and activities

Bytemark how did you go??? have you been back for another walk again?

Well I survived my spine injections so now it's calming down I guess I have to start walking. Had the shakes at work yesterday and my legs felt like wood. Today they are a lot more normal.

Took my 2 dogs to school park yesterday , had my jogging shoes on , so I jogged around the oval 4-5 times without spraining my ankles and just kept walking to cool down, felt pretty good afterwards

I'll try and squeeze 1 in everyday as you know, the pooches need to go

still have't cleaned the garage to get my mountain bike out.

Been walking mornings and most afternoons, around 3.5 - 4km each depending on which route I take, started a few moths ago (after walking 5km up a steep hill with the numpties). I figured if I could stick it out during winter then I should be OK.

I get a bit stuffed up with work 1 week in 4 but there's work arounds (didn't work that well this last week though).

I actually find that I miss it, if for some reason I miss a couple of days walking. Wife comes with me in the mornings and usually I do a bush loop by myself in the afternoons. Back into it tomorrow afternoon.
