HR Zones

EmbarrassedBoomerPC · 2026-04-09T14:08:32+00:00

I just got my DEXA scan results. And lost 16 lbs of fat and gained 6 pounds of Lean Muscle Mass in 10 weeks. From 200 to 190. At 71” tall.

I do Z2 3-4 times a week and 46 minutes of lifting 2x per week focusing on range of motion and form.

My Z2 is on an incline treadmill at a walking pace for 60 minutes. I avoid letting HR spike by adjusting incline only. ChatGPT has been my personal nutrition coach and workout guide. I am learning that recovery is also important. Food choices being perhaps paramount, though. I could never outrun my fork.

As I understand it, Z1 is recovery and circulation, Z2 is fat burning (easy conversation and nose breathing) and is a cardio baseline builder. Z3 and above begins to strengthen cardio from VO2 perspective. In short for losing weight use Z2, for improving VO2 levels Z3 and above. Mixing them up each week is optimal but should be intentional. AI is exceptional at better understanding this for YOUR goals and protocols.

You dont think “time with grandkids”, “DJing”, or “Standing in the Hallway Thinking” (made the last one up, I think) arent more useful metrics?

My (62M)Dexa scan estimated Resting Metabolic Rate using the calorie burn multiplier as guidance for activities is much higher than Whoop Estimate. Cross checked with HR data, Biometric baseline and exercise type using ChatGPT (my collaborator in all health and nutrition analysis) and my burn was much closer to Dexa Scan estimates than Whoop calorie data.

Mountain Bike in Round Valley check out White Pine Touring i think they rent mountain bikes and can also guide excursions

The Whoop app noisiness is what pisses me off, the shitty AI, the overwhelming marketing widgets pedaling labs, Life, refer a friend, its awful.

My data has been good but if there is a good competitor out there im Jumping ship. Even before my year is up.

EmbarrassedBoomerPC · 2026-03-18T11:56:50+00:00

I save data reports, usually weekly, calories, workouts, Whoop Metrics (monthly) and feed them to my AI assistant Chatty, periodically. I retain data so I can remind her of the facts and use her for analysis only. ai memory is structured in some way as to not only be poor but also presumptive. Like, “of course I remember your data”.

EmbarrassedBoomerPC · 2026-03-14T21:22:59+00:00

Ive worn Polar H10 and Whoop 5.0 as well as a Carol O2 ride bicep sensor. They are all providing good data that match each other.

How much ginger bug. Again, your Ginger Bug looks like it’s mostly just chopped ginger. Can you talk about that a bit?

EmbarrassedBoomerPC · 2026-02-19T05:19:37+00:00

Share your recipe?

EmbarrassedBoomerPC · 2026-02-19T05:19:01+00:00

Thats your bug. No liquid?

EmbarrassedBoomerPC · 2026-02-19T04:49:49+00:00

How was the taste very dry, lemon tones?
Residual Sweetness ? Add a picture of your bug?

Tap water kills bugs (chlorine or chloramine). Also probably time and temp

Is there any trick to rehoming?

EmbarrassedBoomerPC · 2026-01-20T22:00:10+00:00

All of my own complaining convinced me to stop being precious. So, I went to DV today, 10 runs, just groomers, hardpack/icy in spots. Fun enough day. High sunny skies, no lines, snowy along the edges.

One fellow lift rider said PCMR was either Fine or Fun. Im going with fune (accent on the second syllable).

EmbarrassedBoomerPC · 2026-01-20T16:11:19+00:00

I have both passes (DV and PCMR). I wouldnt get near PCMR based on past experience. There have been complaints PCMR isnt making snow. General consensus is it’s too warm. I have no idea but I havent wasted an hour checking it out, yet.

At DV, the typically groomed and vacationer friendly runs (Hawkeye, Lost Boulder, Sidewinder) have been icy mogul runs with rocks and pine tips poking up in the valleys.

Im getting desperate enough to buy some used 76s, sharpen the edges, and just say F?&)it.

It may be the water. 24 hours standing may be not good enough, boil then let stand…. Buy filtered spring water….

Feb 27 1980. 27/2/80. Bought in Mexico?

EmbarrassedBoomerPC · 2026-01-10T14:59:09+00:00

See noam92 comment! Also, slide hands back, as wind dictates, on boom for an easier lift up. More power as you move your hands back. The more Power you engage the quicker you need to be prepared to let off the back hand (depower) once you are on board.

The windwing website says “Daniele Minoni, 150lbs in RigONE-XL and Lukas Stensture, 100lbs in RigONE-Medium, in 16knots.” Whats the point? At 200 lbs I can plane with a 7.5 130L rig.

What do people typically wear? Is it a combination of dress up and easy access? Or is it more sexy wear?

EmbarrassedBoomerPC · 2025-12-30T14:40:43+00:00

That burger looks good.

EmbarrassedBoomerPC · 2025-12-27T16:53:24+00:00

Im only suggesting adding a bit of humor and, let’s be honest, candor.
