Where do our exercisers work out and what do you do?

I guess it depends on how hard you were training before the time off. You can get better simply because you were overtrained before (which is likely for you, as your reach exceeds your grasp). THere's a book called Hard Gainers by Stuart Mcrobert which illustrates his journey as a guy who can try way harder than the next guy, but didn't actually see results, until he relented on the effort.

My V02 max declined a LOT over the past couple of years - very noticeable with my running. I was used to running 8 miles with a fair amount of ease. For the past couple of years, I've needed to do more walk/run kinds of things and for less distance - but...the past couple of weeks, I'm doing better and I'm seeing that reflected in my V02 as well as pacing. I'm not sure what to make of it - but being nearly 72, it may just be a moment of delusional good feelings.

I've been incorporating more frequent rest days - one in three now - in order to do some more substantial bike training. Still doing something all 7 days, but want some days where I can push biking hard and not worry about how I'm fitting in the gym.
THat's the problem with biking seriously. Those long rides take serious time.

Nothing much but I'm down to 210.9, which was a surprise. I was at 232 in July, then 223 in January, and even 219 in April, so almost a pound a week since then, which is a good pace. I'm sure it will slow.
Despite this thread subject, I have not been working out but am a very active dad with kids/projects around the house, so I get plenty of steps in after work lol. I've been eating better in that I keep my breakfast and lunches routine, and the big kicker BY FAR is I'm avoiding sitting on the couch and snacking at 10pm. Instead I'm vibe coding and drinking a diet 7-up.

Bleak that the most effective fitness app is apparently just having children and no free will.
