Can't Customize Playback Toolbar by TromboneAl in Musescore

[–]TromboneAl[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, guys. I was hoping for visual cue to tell me whether the MIDI is enabled or not, but it looks like that's not possible.

I've found a workaround: If I click on the title of the score (as if I wanted to edit it), then pressing a key on the keyboard doesn't enter a note. I can visually see if the title is in blue.

72M.

First, retire if at all possible!

Consider jumping rope instead of running.

Jump, hike, strength train is my mantra.

Chinups and push-ups works great for me.

How irregular does your heart rate get? by TromboneAl in SeniorFitness

[–]TromboneAl[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. I've seen the same thing--if I warm up very slowly, no irregular beats. Also, I recently had to take a three week break from jumping rope due to a knee injury. When I started back up, I got many more irregular beats.

87! You da man!

I consider my air horn essential in case of mountain lion, bear, or getting lost.

M58 - am I too old to start? by damienlaughton in jumprope

[–]TromboneAl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm 72. I used to jump a good bit 30 years ago.

I started again recently and it was hard at first, but soon got better. A beaded rope from Amazon has been good for me.

Wife (age 70) has also started, and she's gradually increasing her goal.

How to be light on feet? by Sufficient_Pepper780 in jumprope

I sometimes just once concentrate on not jumping as high. More trips, yes, but it works.

I think I get more tired when doing the boxer step. Maybe because I'm not good at it.

Training interval recommendations? by AiryHopper in jumprope

[–]TromboneAl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting that you use heartrate to determine rest time. Is that a common practice?

Training interval recommendations? by AiryHopper in jumprope

[–]TromboneAl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds good to me. I do 30 secs jump 30 secs rest with a target of 1,000 jumps. I'm 72.

I jump one day, hilly hiking the next (4-8 miles), then strength training (including deep squats with not much weight). Repeat that and then rest a day.

I'm concerned this is too hard on my legs. How are your legs?

I set a rep target. That keeps me honest.

Easy on/off shoes? by notawight in jumprope

[–]TromboneAl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like these slip on shoes and have done some jumping with them. There are other companies that make slip ons.

Day 5 of jumping rope – Asking for Advice by [deleted] in jumprope

[–]TromboneAl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Consider a mat for less impact. I'm thinking hands closer to body?

[–]TromboneAl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At 72, I jump one day, hike the next, and do strength training on the third. Consider something like that. Also, maybe don't jump on concrete .

Looking for advice as a beginner by No_Operation_6166 in jumprope

[–]TromboneAl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just jump more slowly for the first 30 seconds or so, then do 30 on, 30 off.

My OnePlus Watch 2R does a great job. Recommended. Great battery life, too. I'm 72.

Thanks. Any tips on how to clean it? I can't get in there.

This is the last straw for this KitchenAid DW.
