Guest guest Posted October 6, 2008 Report Share Posted October 6, 2008 Oooops....I am most definitely old enough just dense sometimes. And trust me I'm no wonder woman, I'm just doing everything I can to stay alive!!!! Beth-Moderator Fibrotic NSIP 06/06 UCTD 06/08 Treadmill Routine Beth/Jane othersI know you're a regular treadmill user but this would also be to anyothers who are. What is your routine? How often? How long? What pacesand what levels of oxygen? Pulse rates?Nosy, aren't I?I'm thinking mine may need some modification.I use the treadmill every other day. I do breathing exercises inbetween, plus I'm pretty active most days.I spend 45 minutes on the treadmill. I do just a couple of minutes at1.5 mph and then go to 2 mph. I stay there about 5 minutes and then goto 2.5. 2.5 is my maximum based on my balance.I use 4 lpm and 5 lpm. I can go to 2 mph on 4 lpm and can go up to 2.5mph on 4 lpm sometimes initially but ultimately to maintain my satsaround 92-93% I have to increase to 5 lpm. Otherwise, I slow down to 2mph and let my sats built back to 94% or so, then to 2.5 a bit more. Idon't let myself drop below 92% without slowling down or upping theoxygen based both on room for error and seeing no reason to be at 90% onone flow when I could be on 93% at a higher flow. Even on 5 lpm with thepollen the way it is I sometimes can't stay at 2.5 mph.My pulse rate rises to around 110, spending most of my time between 105and 110 which is right for my age.In the 45 minutes, I typically will cover about 1.5 miles.

Guest guest Posted October 6, 2008 Report Share Posted October 6, 2008 I think it takes Wonder Woman effort to do what you do on a regular basis MB. I admire that. I cannot do it. Not that I need to do what anyone else does but I admire how some of us push through. Have you by chance heard anything from Tina? It isn't like her to be so quiet for so long. I've written her, no reply. I hope she didn't run into trouble getting her divorce. Steve (WA) is returning after Thanksgiving and then going back to Mazatlan from May to November. He has rented a small hotel room w/lots of amenities, inc. a/c. Close to the beach. I'm so glad he has a good place to recover from Kathy's death. Last conversation I had w/Vicky she sounded better and at least for that day was doing ok. Got rid of the hospital bed and that makes her feel better to be back in bed with Gene. MamaSher, age 70.

Guest guest Posted October 7, 2008 Report Share Posted October 7, 2008 MB ... I don't make too many LD calls because I do not have free LD like a lot do.
