I did after my heart stents. Up at 5:30 every morning, for an 1 1/2 hour workout. Hired a incompetent PT and the whole deal. It was great until I got too carried away and incurred multiple injuries that I am still trying to recover from.

Yikes. and hour and a half? That is certainly part of your problem, especially if you are working muscles everyday. There has to be time for things like Yoga so you don't kill yourself.

Oh I was, in fact at my age I found for my body it took the third recovery day instead of just two for most muscle groups.

But there is still so many options when you include cardio, that I never run out of things to do. I hated leaving after the hour and half!

Our gym also has a pool and a track. But I fell in love with weight training.

My problem was going to heavier weights than my old tendons/rotator cuff could handle. I was following the increased weight pattern the PT had exhibited, but I didn't know when to stop, and he hadn't told me.

The strenuous work outs also lead to a veracious appetite. Yoga just might be something to look into, thanks!
