Gym Report - cardio

[susandennis]

I was not at all interested in going to the gym this morning but I did anyway and found that 30 minutes at 2.7 swapping 2 mins at level 4 with 2 mins at level 1 was surprisingly ok to do. Not easy but not horrible. I'm still having trouble breathing well - I cough when I run out of air. ruralrob gives evil looks to people who cough in public. My choice is cough and breathe or no cough, no breathe. It's not a hard choice at all.

The gym was action packed. There was a special class going on and lots of people milling about on various machines plus Newspaper Reader Guy was doing his newspaper reader thing.

Nice and comfy. And sweaty. Shower time.

I'm dumb for even posting this because I know your extreme allergic reaction to anything involving a doctor, but do you have asthma? I have seasonal asthma issues and use an inhaler before working out.

/goes to the corner for mentioning something involving doctors

I was going to suggest it could be exercise induced asthma. If it makes going to the gym easier it might be worth a trip to the man doctor, maybe?

I will mention it to him when I go in February for my annual visit. Dr. Internets does not offer many palatable remedies so even if that's what it is, it's doubtful there is anything I am willing to do about it.

If it is asthma, some of the maintenance inhalers are pretty tolerable and not too side-effecty.
