In my previous post, I have stated that am exercising after 2 and half decades of inactivity. Whew! man that is a long time. Wonder what sicknesses are in store?
Doctors have confirmed that I have high blood pressure. Lately I have been having bouts of vertigo! Man, I hate this vertigo. It makes the whole room spin, heart rate pump faster, perspiration and sense of vomitting. Damn! I got to grab something to be steady. However, it is only a momentary sensation but I hate it. After 4 days of been hospitalised, doctors adviced me to change my lifestyle. They told me to do some workout. Now, it had been 2 weeks, all in 8 days of workout. Feeling a bit better than usual.
So, what is my workout plan? It is an outdoor activity. Walk, jog and stretching exercises. Total time spent is an hour. The first few days was hell. I couldn't run continuously for more than 30 seconds. Well, with some self discipline and datermination, now I am able to complete 5 km by walking and jogging. Now I am able to run a minute non stop.
My next target is to run 2 minutes non-stop. World class athlete could complete 800 metres under 1:45 seconds. But I am not an athlete, so I guess I completed 500 to 600 metres in 2 minutes. Compared to my younger days, I could run 40 minutes non stop and complete 10k races under 40 minutes. Now even 100 metres seem impossible. I have gone down badly, health wise.
Though not following any diet, I have felt a drop in appetite. I guess a cut of 500 calories in food and 500 calories burnt through workout have reduced the weight. Recent workout have reduced my waistline by an inch. That's good result in a short span of time.
Well, that all for now!
