| Re: how fit are you? fair one, big pete you are massive and its totally your own perogative to get like that, the reason i started this was to see what you big lads are like on the CV side, i never have and probly never will be as big as you. iv never really spoke to anyone your size about what their like at running or rowing, so was just an interest thread really, not me bragging at all. iv seen some really big lads run 8min 30 mile and a halfs though, they were on the gear but dosent it increase your red blood cell count? i.e the ones which transport oxygen to the muscles, id have thought that made you fitter because there getting more oxygen? maybe im wrong |

 | Re: how fit are you? fitness is also based on the muscular strength of the heart. the heart is indeed a muscle. the stronger the heart, the more blood it can pump in one beat - hence increasing the speed of circulation. another reason why the lower your heart rate is at a resting pace means you are fitter than a higher heart rate. not saying its the only thing that comes into fitness but plays a big part also - something that seems to have been missed.
