Cardio Cardio and More Cardio!
Cardio!
I've started increasing my cardio time lately.
I'm trying to get 3km a day in, I normally walk on the treadmill at the gym, around 10 minutes before and 15-20 minutes after working out. It's making me feel a lot healhtier.
It's hard though!
The first 10 minutes I can do fine, but the 15-20 after working out are really difficult. When I get to those I'm usually already tired and want to go home to have dinner, but I got to push through it.
Cardio has some superb health benefits, it reduces the risk of so many diseases, especially heart related diseseas, and increases the blood flow to the brain, which in turn increases neurogenesis, which is probably one of the hardest things to increase, the production of new neurons and the growth of the ones that we have.
Everyone should do cardio!
In two days I'm thinking of doing a just cardio session, going to hop on a bike and do around 25-30Km with some friends. I've been thinking that it would be a good idea to record those sessions and put them online without showing my face, I just need to get a camera, a Go Pro maybe. We normally ride different roads all the time. And the roads we travel are usually a lot of fun, especially when we go off-road!
Last time we went we did 25Km, where 7 of those were off-road. It was an awesome but painful experience. My legs were burning after it. Off-road is much more difficult than road. We had to jump fences and we even rode through cattle... And my wheel got caught on fence wiring which almost killed me! Oh, Good times!

Nice to see you back posting! Exercise is really important when working with software. I used to ride my bicycle many miles to get to work when I had to sit behind a desk all the time. I still like to get my steps in.
Hi! Nice to see you! It has been ages since we last spoke. How have you been? I see you keep posting here, I had to stop after starting my engineering degree, didn't have that much free time with all the works...
Yeah, I sit the whole day for work, if I don't exercise daily I just get fatter and fatter and my joints start aching all over. I try to walk 2 miles a day at a fast pace on the treadmill to keep my daily steps, I'm trying to get between 6k-10k steps a day.
Went cycling today, did 20 miles, I'm so sore! My bike was a mountain bike and I rode on the road, the guys that were with me were using gravel bikes, so I was always trying to keep up with them. Need to get myself a gravel bike, but they are so expensive!$1.3k or more...
I've been doing very well. I know how difficult it can be to get that degree. Nice job getting through it!
If you can get into someplace with a bit of flexibility around your hours that can be really helpful. A lot of us used to love to go jogging together around lunchtime. Unfortunately, my joints can't take that kind of exercise anymore but I have plenty of time now to walk around and play disc golf.
I have four bikes still but mostly I ride my e-bike. It is tough for me to do any mountain biking any longer. Biking is really a nice exercise.
Yeah, I got through it, now I'm doing my Master's, but since I'm working I'm honestly taking it easy, doing just a few projects to get by without worrying too much, last few years have been a nightmare in terms of stress... Last year I spent 3 months almost without sleep because I had so many projects to finish to do all the classes required for me to finish my degree!
I used to run, I still do from time to time, but I'm always afraid of damaging my joints, especially since I already use and abuse them in the gym with some heavy squatting, and I've had some injuries in the past (torn meniscus in both my legs).
I prefer running to cycling, but cycling is better for the joints, so I'm starting cycling now, wanted to do mountain, but my friends prefer the road route and they already bought their expensive gravel bikes.
