Hi all,

Thought I'd pop back and let you know what happened to me last week: at 35 years of age I had a medical for a private pilots licence for the first time. I passed or course, but when it came to the Blood Pressure test, my BP was 114/74 with a resting heart rate of 60 BPM.

The exact words out of the Doctors mouth were: "You have the blood pressure of a teenager!"

Since 1993 I have kept a personal medical record and can tell you that only once in the last 15 years has my Systolic BP reading been lower that it is now. 60 BPM is also the lowest my heart rate has ever been measured.

Sweet.

For reference, I've been on the Zone since early 2007 and been taking Fish oil for the last 6 months.

Great Colin!

The Zone and fish oil are pretty cool, aren't they?

I've had similar results, and I'm 55! BP lower than your's (yeah me!) and resting HR 62 BPM.

Colin, heart rate of 60 BPM – you must be exercising regularly?

That's great Sue, very impressive. :-D

Emma, I did no exercise for 15 years since leaving school, then I found Crossfit in 2007, which is what lead me here. The Zone is the recommended diet of all Crossfitters.

So does Crossfit just mean you dont do any one exercise, but, several to get a maximum workout and strengthen your core? Or is more specialized than that?
