Hi ladies, To recap: 1 week ago today, I woke up to my heart racing which led to shortness of breath and me eventually finding that my blood pressure was bottoming out. After trying a few things, to no avail any kind of activity sent my breathing into panic mode with the shortness of breath...

Ok, boredom got me. I did a very minimal 30 min. circuit consisting of lower body movements like, marching, knee lifts, low kicks, grapevine, side steps, with 3 pounds weights added for shoulder exercises while doing the leg moves consisting of side laterals, front raise, Arnold press...

Hi ladies, just had a follow up with my regular doctor. He seemed pleased with everything the hospital did for me. I was down 5 pounds from March ( though he didn't say anything about it). Cleared to travel for vacation at the end of June. Forgot to ask about exercise, but I still get...

Thanks ladies. I did get some sleep last night. I am off the IV heparin and now on an oral blood thinner. I should go home after the echocardiogram tomorrow morning. There is debate as to how long I will be on the oral blood thinner. I am able to walk around the room better, heartrate still...

Hi ladies, I will be in the hospital at least till Monday. They can't do the echocardiogram till Monday. I still can walk or sit and then stand without being short of breath and my heart races. I also have coronary artery disease and there's a chance that I didn't have a heart attack...

Hi ladies, I have been in the ER since 3:30 ish and am now been transported to another hospital. I woke up with rapid heartrate and shortness of breath. Turns out I have bilateral pulmonary blood clots and possibly had a secondary heart attack. So I am out of commission for the time being...

Hi ladies, Today I was moving kinda slow so I got a late start. But I did an 85 minute gym circuit for back and biceps, legs and floorwork. I did the rear delt machine first because someone was on the usual starter machine. I managed 40 pounds then 45 and that was it. Then I did the...

Today I did the Taebo Get Amped 32 minute workout. Going shopping with a friend so it needed to be short and sweet. Nice workouts ladies!! Yesterday while the roofers were here I felt like I was in a MRI machine. Tap,tap,tap, whomp whomp, whack whack whack, buzz (of the nail or screw gun)...

Hi ladies, Today the roofers are here so it is very noisy. I had to get up as going back to sleep wasn't happening with the noise. But I did a Fitness Kombat 53 which I had done previously but it is a good sweaty workout. Basically 43:45 minutes of cardio and then I added a stretch to the...

That's a long workout for you, Nora! Great job!!

Linda, I watched a video on YouTube about different ways to use the sled so I tried doing some of what I watched. They showed 3 different types of sleds so some of the exercises weren't feasible with the sled my gym has. But it was fun trying new things.
