Concept2 Forum

I'm 64,haven't exercised in years,2 burpees (without the push up) and my heart rate rockets despite being on bete blockers,lack of fitness or something sinister?

I am 64,type 2 diabetic,on 5mg Bisoprolol to reduce ectopic beats,if I walk and record my heart rate would rowing at that heart rate be the equivalent of walking?,cardiologist and GP want me to exercise but I want to mix rowing and walking.

I am not sure what chest strap it is,I know it doesn't connect to my old PM3 monitor, what are Logbook and Strava?

I have a chest strap and an Iphone,are there any Apps that I can use to record my heartrate while rowing and exercising

I have osteoarthritis in my hips,X rays say moderate in left,moderate to severe in right,I also have a full thickness labral tear in the right,saw physio last week,he gave me 4 exercises to do 3 times daily,one is sitting in a chair then raise one leg keeping leg bent,this hurts so much and I think ...

I haven't used the erg in years,I have osteoarthritis in both hips and often find walking so painful I have to stop,I want to get fitter,not sure if using the concept 2 will help or make things worse,any advice?
