I want etan26 to reply

when i was 20-35 can do full marathon and some ironman

after 40s i slow down liao

family time, understanding on limits etc.. now exercise enough to keep fit and not yolo breaking own records

thats awesome
keep it up.

with my recent leg injury, im going a bit slower for the past few weeks.
hopefully by next month i'll be back to my normal routine.

There's upshot in the popularity of this game dunno due to what since we don't have world beater player in our ranks currently. My friend told me badminton courts everywhere are always fully booked.

Old farts playing with aspiration of what? Go take a walk or hike if you want to exercise. Less risk of heart attack post COVID vaccine shots.

here badminton is usually social event for office staffs. if we don't attend then we are labelled as anti social.

I play badminton but I don't go hard for the shuttle if it's more than my arm's reach. I don't mind to let others win

Live like a tortoise, slow and easy . . . . . my work already can make me sweat in the morning and evening.

Kinda coincident I think I stressed my knees during one of my sprints... now both knees felt like falling off even when I walk normally. Just gotten some knee support sleeves so as I can work on reducing my BMI. BTW how did you find time between working out and riding?

On another note, someone here mentioned a workout watch to monitor heart rate is quite useful, previously I never knew there's a max (which should be only around 10 secs to 1 min) and even pushing to anaerobic heart rate zone (zone 4) is only recommended for twice a week. Having a good workout watch help uneducated ppl like me to be aware of the dangers of over-workouts

what's your work that sweats you?

use rule of 220 minus age is your max heart rate

I'm having plantar faciatis issue on my right foot. still looking for the cure.


on weekdays I work out after work, at night
When i go to office work, i'll reach home usually at around 6pm to 6:15pm. prepare simple light dinner for family. then take my dog for her daily walk. then at around 8pm I'll go for run (Monday, Wednesday). my area is hilly area, i'll be running up slopes most of the time. So I'll just do a solid 30 to 45 minutes run without stopping. That will be around 3.5KM to 4KM plus.

On Tuesdays and Thursday, I play squash after work.

Friday is my rest day

Saturday morning I'll go for easy road cycling in my area (hilly area)....will do around 15KM plus.

Sunday morning I'll go for my MTB cycling, usually from 7:30am until 11am.

Lots of carrying goods in non aircond environment.....

Wajib : Beli racket badminton free AED set.

sweat is one thing
but i always believe that we need to always pump up our heart and lungs.
cannot always be at relax stage.

ok


in Malaysia you can sweat even indoor with aircond....best way to get a workout is to feel slightly challenged in movement and breathing

Wow, very VERY active lifestyle and thanks for sharing. I doubt I can do that (knee already tells me I shouldn't run that much at my age). Just settling at brisk walks and controlling food intakes. Thinking about taking up bicycling (easier on the knees) but so much hate on cyclists nowadays made me think twice.

Yeah... learnt that from the sports watch thingy. Wasn't even aware of this previously

try maintain at max HR for 10 seconds first, and then 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s, 60s.

wait, how old are you?
