Johnny Come Lately Name Posted June 20, 2017 Share #1 Posted June 20, 2017 I took my final exam for "Blood Pressure, Exercise and Your Brain". I had to lie down while they hooked up even more junk than last time - temp monitor and some sort of box on my forehead. (To test for echo, I think.) Did all the cognitive torture tests again, while they poked and prodded and pushed buttons. Then I got up, went in and got on the exercise bike. They set the w*****e (don't want to summon you-know-who) for 55% of my VO2 Max, as determined previously. I pedaled for a half hour, while they did the occasional BP check. Then it was back to the table for round two of Torquemada's Greatest Hits. They hooked up all their toys again and off I went. All that for $45 and a packet of results. Body Composition, at the low end of "Fair” @ 25.2% Cholesterol - LDL - too low to read, HDL 72, Fasting glucose -88 VO2 Max "Excellent" @ 42.7 mL/kg/min BP "Good" @ 112/70 avg/wk Arterial Stiffness 8.5 m/s Carotid inner lining thickness .68 mm - about average for my age. Yay.? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's nothing. Having David Attenborough narrate my sex life is the worst. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
