Tractor Lumps

[parsley]

You've been sitting on the tractor for a long time.
How do you get your heart rate up? Run? Bike?
Lift weights? Do you tend yourself? Or
everybody else instead? Pars

[freewheat]

You run machinery that is old enough
that you have lots of running for parts,
hiking to the truck, and heavy lifting
on a twice daily basis. As well, you
combine a canola crop you think should
be going 40 plus, but by the third round
you realize she ain't hardly gonna make
25. That raises the heart rate, and
sweat glands get a good workout that way
as well.

Far as the farm managers who sit in the
office an listen to reports every 3
hours of "done NE 18, now where boss?" I
think these guys are doomed to health
issues. Specially cuz their crops always
run 50 or more... No heart rate
increases...

You have a bit of devil in you this morning, fw,
lol. Make sure you have bravehearts firm ass to
go with it and you're deemed a dangerous
farmer. LOL

Cott, you might enjoy reading about R
Google it. Pars

The whole works of you are certifiably insane!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks I needed that giggle.

[agstar77]

Yes, there will be a lot more sitting around on the computer or smart phone, doing all that marketing next August. T4 will need a new exercise regime.

[cottonpicken]

Heart rate?yes little doubt diet and exercise are
important.

Big broad subject though,they still are baffled by
the placebo effect and everyone seems to think flax
is good for them but none seem to know how fast it
goes rancid and what a free radical is.

Then they end up in the doctors office with colon
cancer crying that they lived healthily and did all
the right things while the old lady smoking and
drinking at the casino chugs on.

Pars,have you noticed how wide spread corn surup
is,its damn near impossible to avoid it.

[checking]

10,000 steps a day. A morning 3 mile walk, and a mile in the evening gets you well on the way. It's the recipe for the ole' guys feeling alive. The human body was made for walking, not running down your food for the day, which fits the present lifestyle. Run most of the time, and your first knee replacements will give out on you by the time you reach senior status, so you fw pup types should gear down!!!!

Cott: S is a programming language. R is sorta
like it's the S's pig Latin. R is a case-sensitive
interpreted language. O/t but fructose is, well,
fructose. I have 2 freezers full of home-grown
food.but then you Already know I am quite mad.

Carebear: going through the certifiable process
might be the hard part.....figuring out who the
insane one is....by comparing the agendas. lol.

Checking, I agree that walking is the best of all
exercising. But biking is fast and dangerous the
way I ride...you can walk all winter. lol pars.

Parsley, I may have a firm rump but I still feel like a lump.

I try to hit the gym 5 days a week. Twenty minutes on the elliptical (walking or running outside is too hard on my knees etc). I then do 40 min of free weights or kettlebells. I alternate upper and lower body.

I've been doing this about 15 years. I battle with depression and find exercise stimulates some good hormones that help elevate mood. Lately I've had some high blood pressure readings so I'm upping the cardio portion of my workouts.

I do like the bike outside but damn, wind. Lately we just look at the logging chain hangin on the gate post. If it's not straight out there's something wrong. And besides, I've yet to find a bike seat that my "man parts" like.

[parsley]

Exercise does stimulate the good hormones
Brings down bp's
Outdoors. biking. Walking. And nature is a
friend that likes you for yourself Pars

[Braveheart]

Exercise does wonders for the "man parts" as well.

I really like your take on nature. I've never thoght of it that way.
