The problem with most of the medical community is that they like regular, predictable behavior patterns in their patients. My first endo told me, "Take EXACTLY this amount of that and EXACTLY this amount of something else and take it at the same T...

I had two goals in mind: First, even a man my age can use a little advice on how to improve his love life. Second, there is way too much emotional angst on this site, and adding a measure of levity might help folks smile a little.... Rock

Sometimes, we must forgo our fine art, for those we love. And, this is the reason the man cave has become a matter of practicality. It is where we can place all of our unappreciated valuable assets.

Thanks for the info. I do ride with a heart monitor. My last ride, my ave was at 135 and my max was 167 which is 99%. Most of my rides have hills which act like an interval. I am going to do some interval training this week on a flat ride.
