A member asked:
I'm 70 year old male and workout (ellipse) 30 min/day. resting pulse of 45 bpm. can i be compared to a well conditioned young athlete?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Unfortunately, to your detriment. 30 minutes a day is not near the conditioning you can accomplish as a young person. You are to be congratulated for keeping physically active, but at age 70 you are not turning back the the clock.
