Re: Exercise during the pandemic

here's my home gym. Anyone have some good boxing workouts? I never use that heavy bag, but I bet it'd be awesome for cardio.
I agree with your sarcastic comments. Obviously this is a serious situation and we need to take some precautions, but outside of NYC and a few other places, I think the biggest danger to our country is that we will become even more overweight, even more out of shape, and as a result even more immunocompromised (honestly if you eat like crap and never exercise, you are at least slightly immunocompromised). This issue would not be nearly as serious for most of our country if everyone was fit and lived a healthy lifestyle.madbuck wrote: ↑Wed Mar 25, 2020 1:37 pm Folks, please stick to pre-approved obesogenic activities, like driving large gas-powered cars everywhere and ordering junk food from drive thru's.
You don't even need to get out of your car to shop, because if there isn't a drive-thru, there's always an underpaid driver available to speed around delivering whatever worthless crap you need.
We can't afford the extra health care burden right now! Please stick only to the costly lifestyle choices and risk factors that are part of the regular health care burden. Thanks!
have you ever combed through jog.fm? i used it many moons ago-- not EXACTLY what you're looking for but might be helpfulpvnisher wrote: ↑Tue Apr 07, 2020 5:11 am Recommendations for software that will go through your music library and output the beats per minute?
I found a few, but none do it easily. Lots of adding each folder, sub folder, etc. Just cumbersome.
Trying to make some treadmill play lists and want to select particular BPM for different effort levels.
If you have a good program or method you've used what is it?
Are you looking at this in order to match your cadence to the BPM of certain songs? Do you already have decent data on your own cadence (or desired cadence) at certain pace ranges?pvnisher wrote: ↑Tue Apr 07, 2020 5:11 am Recommendations for software that will go through your music library and output the beats per minute?

Sorry, I know I'm not being very helpful. Just curious as to what your intentions are. Feel free to tell me to go fly a kite
I just gave it a quick listen and after a few seconds of counting I thought, “Dang, pretty close to 90 BPM. That’ll give you a nice 180 steps per minute!” 180 being the seductive (yet sometimes misguided) “perfect” cadence. Then went to a website that claimed It to be 88 BPM: pretty close.SchralpTheGnar wrote: ↑Tue Apr 07, 2020 1:13 pm Just set the treadmill to 10mph and put crash course in brain surgery on repeat

From experience I can tell you that you will only know when your 6:00 pace days are over in retrospect. Same thing for 7:00 pace.JTOlson26 wrote: ↑Tue Apr 07, 2020 1:31 pmI just gave it a quick listen and after a few seconds of counting I thought, “Dang, pretty close to 90 BPM.

I don’t want to say that my 6-flat pace days are over quite yet, but I’ll likely never be what I once was...but maybe I’m as good, once? Eh, probably not!
