9. I'm 74 and ride my bike indoors, in the winter,

for 1:11, usually 16.5 miles. I will be riding it later today because we are taking our shelter cat to the vet for a check up. She does not do well getting into a carrier, we have to lock her in the Bathroom so she can't hide under the beds.

I keep my weight between 170 and 173 in the winter, 6 feet tall. If I don't ride my bike I usually gain 1 pound.

I had A-fib off and on for 8 years and the local hospital only treated me with pills to slow my heart rate, I would do meditation breathing to keep it in rhythm. They almost killed me at my local rural hospital so my daughter made me an appointment at UPMC where I had a successful ablation and my heart has been in rhythm for 2 years and I only take Eliquis. Knock on wood.

Yeah, don't cross your legs when taking your BP.
