Thanks for posting that Bob. I think it's interesting to see a specific recommendation about exercise intensity/frequency:

A training frequency of 2–3 sessions per week using an initial training intensity of 50–70% of VO2-max corresponding to 60–80% of maximum heart rate is recommended.

I looked through the references and I still don't see evidence that any studies have been done to evaluate whether exercise has any impact on the disease process. I think they should take their intensity/frequency recommendation and do a trial where they measure progression / relapses. Do you think we could get big pharma to fund that?

I need to dive into this one. I know that's my problem. I want to do it too hard and too frequently. The few times I've took it easy and not tried to push it every day, I've actually felt benefits instead of dejection at not being able to do it how I want it. Thanks Bob!

The type of fishing that I do involves lots off exercise. Should be called catching... Just trying to stay standing on the rolling ocean is a workout. Now cranking up the fish seems like just plain fun until when I get home with sore arm muscles. Now bobber fishing from the shore, well that should be called resting. I feel great out in the ocean fishing, but by the time I get to the beach I am truly wore out. Fish for dinner... Cheers Mark

Bob your going to upset me with such comments as this, you need to try walking in my shoes while i'm getting to the point where I actually do fish and then back home. There are about 6 miles worth of walking involved in one fishing trip and 5 of them are in the boat!!
