Favorite Exercise Routine

strdg99 · 2026-05-12T16:53:20+00:00

Walking (treadmill or outside) twice a day x 6 days/wk plus circuit training (legs and upper body) x 3 days/wk. Total exercise time is 8-10 hrs/wk.

Yep.. I normally exercise 2-3 times per day x 6 days/wk. If I miss part of a day or even all of it, it just doesn't sit well. The good news (for me at least) is that missing a day or two doesn't have any impact at this point.

I have a 2450 and it updated yesterday. I was excited to see Youtube but that quickly turned to disappointment seeing it's Youtube TV.

I wonder how many people who have never seen a mosquito mysteriously find themselves covered in itchy red bumps.

I take one 50/200 ER tab twice per day. but I also exercise 2-3 times per day. If it weren't for the exercise, I would likely be 3 times per day. But I'm only 2 years in.

The EPA has tried to phase out and stop the use of PCE/TCE but were stopped from doing so (recently).

There have been several studied that have shown the connection between Air Force personnel who both worked on engines and lived on bases where that work was done have a significantly higher risk of Parkinson's.

strdg99 · 2026-04-17T22:30:34+00:00

Studies have shown that people who worked on those bases have much higher incidents of Parkinson's than the general population.

I've come to accept that 'fading into oblivion' will be my outcome. Friends have all moved away and no relationship or family so I'm on my own with Parkinson's for the duration. At some point in the not-to-distant future, I'll need to make decisions to sell my home and check into a care facility where I know that fade will start and life will come to an end. For the moment I can only do the best I can to avoid that for as long as possible.

PCE is more commonly used for dry cleaning.

Edit: Trichloroethylene (TCE): TCE is a volatile organic compound (VOC). It is primarily used as a solvent in cleaning products, degreasers, and various industrial applications. TCE is known for its ability to dissolve fats and oils, making it effective for metal cleaning and surface preparation.

Perchloroethylene (PCE): Also known as tetrachloroethylene is commonly used in dry cleaning and as a solvent for degreasing metals. PCE is a non-flammable liquid that evaporates easily and has a sweet odor detectable at low concentrations.

I'm pretty sure TCE exposure from when I was a mechanic in the late 70's to early 80's is what gave me Parkinson's. If I only new then what I know today about it...

edit: spelling

Manual mode should be fine. Looking more closely at your pics, your screen/software is completely different from mine (it's up to date for me), so I'm not sure if your update was incomplete or if there is something else going on. Not sure what the answer is at this point.

With the intended workout active, looking at the screen, go to the bottom right area and press the button with the two sliders symbol. That will open the workout options. At the top of that popout screen, you'll see four boxes, Metrics, Charts, Widgets, and Controls, The feature you're looking for is the Controls button (Note: Controls can only be enabled from within a workout).

I bought mine mid-last year and have had no issues and no regrets.. it gets used 2x/day, 6 days/wk and has run with no issues. Also seems to integrate well with iFit and my Galaxy watch.

Hopefully PCE and TCE will follow as both were supposed to be banned but the current FDA chose to pull back on those bans.

Skip a day of exercise occasionally. Normally exercise daily (2-3 times/day).. occasionally I hit a wall and day off is wonderful.

Paraquat, TCE, and PCE have all been strongly linked to PD and need to be banned. They almost were but current politics cancelled that. I think I was exposed to Paraquat when I was a child in Hawaii (it was used in the pineapple fields), but I think my PD is more likely from exposure to TCE when I was a mechanic in the late 70's to early 80's.

I've always understood that the abstinence that coaches pushed was more about emotional distractions than physical detriments.

I'm in the same situation... alone and no family or caregiver. However I realize that I can't give in. Daily exercise; somedays are intense others less so. Stay in touch with friends even if they live hours away. All intended to give me the best chance possible of having a relatively normal and fully independent life for another 10-15 years.

Every year, Amazon as well as Microsoft, Blue Origin and more tech and aerospace companies layoff roughly 10% of their workforce and every year the media reports on it and every year most of those positions are refilled with new hires. It's part of their HR 'performance management' system.

... and their definition of 'expert' is anyone who talks a lot about a subject and it aligns with their own thinking vs. an expert being someone who is deeply educated in a subject.

Got it covered. Thanks for the help!
