Get my first Kindle today. like it, hope I'll read more.

at Cinéma 10/30 : On the Appalachien Trail.. from the view of a ~70 year old non-hiker.. that is .. every other hiker besides him and his friend is VERY young, VERY much in shape, VERY fast, a girl they meet talks an AWAFUL LOT, and the bears they see are GRIZZLIES. That's when I realized why the rest of the movie seemed so exagerated. It's how HE saw things. // interesting though, Gaby and I had some good laughs and became interested in how many 4,000 footers there where in the SE USA.

We're 11 and play until 9h15. everyone is tired. I would have continued but must say that my runny nose really tired me. Luckily I had a good hanky. / Gaby said I played well. and it was the firs time since i hurt my knee last year that I could bend to squat low. I was so surprised that I didn't think of doing it each time I should have, but I'm on the right track.

RAMBLING A little while ago I heard that in Québec (or Canada?) the Fit Life Expectancy (my translation for : « Espérance de vie en santé ») has gone DOWN 4 years in the last 30 years, while the overall life expectancy has gone UP. This means we get « out of shape », « old ».. younger, but stay alive longer! Actually they say that between 60 and 67 years old, the people devide into 2 groups : those who are active and fit and healthy, and does who aren’t. and at that age, the difference is much bigger than at 30 or 40 years old. The people between 60 and 67 years old don’t eat as well and exercise LESS than the same age group 30 years ago. I’m 61.. I know which group I’m in J

INJURIED The back of my right knee hurts all day. I limp all day. I can’t completely straighten it and I can’t flex it much. But I have my gym bag and really want to do. I had cardio planned . I was quite confident in being able to do the elliptical even with my knee trouble so I go for it, and my knee is good. An hour later I figure I might as well do the Cardio-Militaire (Boot Camp) class, maybe less intensively than usual.. (ha ha ha.. as if I could do it less intensively.) Well it seemed to have healed my knee! At least for à while.

*Note from the next day.. maybe the hour on the elliptical ground the little piece of cartilage that was hurting me, or maybe it just moved it? I actually have no idea about what I’m talking about here.. but that is what I think.

planned I WAS going to do alot today.. 5+ hours of hiking, then it went down to 2h, then to a 40 mins jog, then by 3h00 pm down to a P90x3 program.. I still feel feeverish and with a runny nose.. hope I'll do it. Logging helps.

Interesting link from Peter Lakatos 's FB page

Monitoring training load exert RPE = rating of perceived exertion
This method of monitoring training load requires each athlete to provide an RPE for each exercise session (see Table 1in the related links below) along with a measure of training time (Foster et al. 2001). To calculate a measure of session intensity, athletes are asked within 30-minutes of finishing their workout a simple question such as ‘How was your workout?’ A single number representing the magnitude of training load for each session is then calculated by the multiplication of training intensity (RPE from Table 1) by the training session duration (minutes). Training load = session RPE x duration (minutes) For example, to calculate the training load for a 30-minute training session with the athlete’s RPE being 5 (HARD), the following calculation would be made: Training load = 5 x 30 = 150 units.
but I've had for a very long time my own RPE.. I first though of it in 1983 when I was learning to walk again after being paralized in May '82. In december '82 I still had to use all my concentration and effort to go up the stairs outside to our appartement.. and in January '83 I realized that for the first time I COULD listen and understand what someone was saying to me while I was going up the stairs but couldn't answer / Now if I want to use this to calculate load, I'll have to devide my ratings by 2, to give less importance to intensity compared to time, as minutes stay minutes..
Table 1 of above article : 0 Rest 1 Very, Very Easy 2 Easy 3 Moderate 4 Somewhat Hard 5 Hard 6 7 Very Hard 8 9 10 Maximal	Used at EC gym : 0 Rest 1 almost nothing 2 Easy 3 comfortable 4 5 moderate 6 good work-out 7 excellent work-out 8 very hard 9 throw up 10 dying	My own rating of perceived exertion : 0 Rest 1 boring, too easy 2 not even a warm-up 3 can explain how something works or understand difficult concepts explained to me 4 can develop an idea (paragraph) 5 can exchange sentences 6 can reply with 3-4 words 7 can reply with a one sylable word 8 can listen to someone talking to me but not reply 9 can't even listen to (understand) someone talking to me 10 crash to the ground

done! 4h150 PM Off Program P90X3 : Agility X ~ 30 mins HOME FITNESS with Tony Horton

but hey.. it makes me feel good and at least says that I'm on the right track..

ok, I never doubted it..

on harristrainingsystems a VO₂Max of 43 at 61 years old is "high". It takes 45 to be athletic and 50+ to be Olymic. / It is also Average for a woman 20-29 years old.

found info.. Rivage / Lucille Brinck Roy 1923-2008 / époux de Marius Brinck 1922-1997 ( just when I started on IRC - Undernet #neige ) / their daughter 1951 -2001

Quand j'ai commencé à chatter sur IRC #neige, le mari de Rivage venait de décéder. Les gens de #neige (incluant moi, la p'tite nouvelle) on s'est relayé pour être certain qu'il y avait toujours quelqu'un sur le canal "au cas où" Rivage venait et avait besoin de parler à quelqu'un ou de simplement ne pas être seule. Gaby et moi l'avons rencontré 3 fois.. chez elle à Maria en 1999?? ( à vérifier), puis à Granby, puis en 2006 la dernière fois. J'ai plusieurs fois après, essayé de la rejoindre. c'était une personne merveilleuse qu'on aimait beaucoup.

NEW ON THE WEB read "new to me" (2013)

Bokwa fitness
	No Counting Steps Because Bokwa^® steps are structured and based on the forms of letters and numbers, doing Bokwa^® does not require you to count steps, like a traditional 8 count followed by most dance fitness programs. Simply feel the music and freely move with the beat. And the dozens of other class participants that are sharing the energy and excitement with you.
I wonder when this will come to a gym near where I live. I have never experienced it but what I like about it is that since the moves are easy, it is easy to up the energy level. When in Zumba the moves are too fancy we spend our energy just following, and that's not as cardio.

46 mins + / AveHR 132 80% / MaxHR 159 96% / 440 cals / 35 % fat / 33mins InZone (75%+)
Good, (week 3/3) / I only changed my VO2 max according to Friday's test.. to 43 from 23 on my HR monitor, I don't understand why the calorie count si so much higher than the pas weeks for about the same exercises.. , but then I never really did understand my HR monitor

NOTE 2015-10-06 * found most of the answer

Plus la consommation d’oxygène est grande, plus la dépense calorique est élevée.

Sachant que l’humain a besoin d’oxygène pour bouger et vivre, les chercheurs ont cherché à quantifier la consommation d’oxygène. Ils ont choisi le symbole VO2 pour représenter le volume (V) de consommation d’oxygène (O2) en millilitres (ml). Pour exprimer la consommation d’oxygène d’une personne, il faut aussi tenir compte de la durée de l’activité (min) et du poids de la personne (kg). Le volume de consommation maximale d’oxygène est représenté par VO2 max. La consommation d’oxygène varie d’une personne à l’autre pour une même activité. Également, plus un effort est grand, plus la consommation d’oxygène est grande.
Comparons deux personnes lors d’une même activité, par exemple, un entraînement à vélo. La personne 1 (80 kg) s’entraîne régulièrement depuis plusieurs années; elle a un VO2 max de 60 ml/kg/minute. La deuxième personne (80 kg), plutôt sédentaire, a un VO2 max de 28 ml/kg/minute, soit moins de la moitié de la consommation de la personne 1. Si la personne 1 s’entraîne à 75 % de sa capacité maximale, elle consommera 45 ml/kg/minute. À la même intensité, la personne 2 consommera 21 ml/kg/minute. Selon vous, qui dépensera le plus de calories sur une même durée ? Réponse : la personne 1, car plus la consommation d’oxygène est grande, plus la dépense calorique est élevée. En améliorant votre condition cardiovasculaire, vous augmenterez donc votre dépense calorique par entraînement !

" La socialisation en personne lutte contre la dépression chez les aînés "

Les participants âgés de 50 à 69 ans semblaient surtout tirer profit de rencontres avec des amis, tandis que ceux âgés de 70 ans et plus avaient surtout besoin de rencontres avec leurs enfants et d'autres parents.

Est-ce parce que les « amis » des gens de plus de 70 ans sont en générale des « vieux » et c’est plus le fun d’être avec du mon plus actif? Si non, parce que les gens de 70 ans et plus réalisent la « valeur » de la famille? Ou les gens de 70 ans et plus sont mieux traités par leur famille que par leurs amis? Je crois que le « pourquoi? » est important.

Take the day off from work to rest from week-end and celebrate the 10th anniversary of my fitness log.

JP FITNESS FORUM : I haven't been there for years, and it seems almost dead, but I post my thank-you message :

JP FITNESS FORUM I see that there isn't much action on the forum these days so I'm posting this here as well as in the logging section. I know that the administrators will wisely choose to take one down, or leave both as they feel best.

Dropping in for the 10th anniversary of my fitness log. Hello All !

Hello good people of JP FITNESS !

Note the date 10-13-2005, 11:44 PM that means that 10 years ago today, I was starting to log my fitness journey. A few months later I realized that this log was not exactly what I wanted and moved it over to my web page, where I continued.. and am still logging ! I came back here to of say "Thank-you JP Fitness" for giving me the incentive to start logging, even if I moved away, I remember that this is where I started.

THIS WEEK *typical schedule*
*************************************************
MONDAY
WEIGHTS :
(12 minute warm-up on staionary bike at a HR of about 115 bpm)

*Unless I mention otherwise, I take about 30 second rests between sets, and
do the extercises 3-0-3 secs.

1) 2x15 squats on a Bosu with the round part on the floor and 20 lbs weights
in a pack-sac (like when I X-country ski). I keep my feet about 6" apart and try to close my eyes sometimes. This is only a balancing exercise.

2) 2x15 Streight legged Dead Lifts. I started at 33 lbs , am at 66 lbs, starting to feel the last lifts but still easy.

3) 2x15 each leg : Standing on left leg slightly bent, leaning slightly forwords, with 8 lb ankle weights right leg, I bend my right leg to bring my right knee in front of me and then extend my leg diagonally to the back, my foot is then about 12 " from the ground.

4) 2x15 Hip Adduction. sitting, 115 lbs on Nautilus machine.

5 ) 2x15 pulls 37,5 lbs on Freedom trainer http://www.howard.edu/howardlife/gym/images/gallery/1d_big.jpg but with the apparatus' metal arms at mid-thigh level in front of me (E7), I pull straight-armed down and back and so in the end my hands are behind me .(1,5-0-3 secs)

6) 2x15 Dumbell Press , narrow hold. 12,5 lbs in each hand with my head and shoulders on a Swiss (fitness) ball. My body in the air and my knees bent.

7) 2x20 Bent arm Lateral Lifts. My physical therapists says to stay at this weight cause I'm still sore from a shoulder bursites (from a fall I took this summer, roller blading)

8)2x20 each side. Oblique Abs.. lying down on my back, with legs and arms
appart.. I lift my legs and arms so that my right hand touches my left foot. back
down without touching the ground with my legs or arms. ( I can't really do
2x20 each side yet, It's more like 20+15+5 each side.... ( about 1-0-1 secs.)

9)2x15, leg lifts and plevic curls : on inclined bench, on the 3rd bar (my rythm is about 1-1-1-1 secs.)

10) 2 times for as long as I can hold.. push-up position on elbows : I do about 2 x 75 seconds.. but my right elbow really hurts from an old wound.

*5 mins warm-up on eliptical
*20 mins ; Intervals : 5x ( 2 mins at about 8 METs, 2 mins at about 12-15
METs) My HR during the intervals is around 155-160 in the second minute of the high zone. And the max METs I saw was 18.
*5 mins cool-down.

I wonder when this will come to a gym near where I live. I have never experienced it but what I like about it is that since the moves are easy, it is easy to up the energy level. When in Zumba the moves are too fancy we spend our energy just following, and that's not as cardio.

Dropping in for the 10th anniversary of my fitness log. Hello All !
