I have normal/low BP, so tried it out during my evening workout which is a walk/treadmill followed by weights. I thought I was safe at about 8 (one-word answers possible, more difficult), but at the end of it, and the whole of the next day, the body was sending clear signals that I'd overdone it. Had to take clear 2 days off, i.e. 72-hrs break, before I felt I could get back on the treadmill, and naturally I'm at a lower level of effort since then. Q is, any experience u hv had with geriatrics which shows that anaerobic spells, even short ones, are an undesirable risk?
