WOW, good for you, Tucker! I'm fascinated by your story, the commitment and hard work. I think regular exercise, whatever you can do is possibly the healthiest thing for us mentally, physically, emotionally.
I would love any info you wish to share about the exercises you do. Isn't the Bruce Protocol for medical stress testing?
Big respect to you! I'm older and still fired up. And I believe it's due to my unfailing commitment to physical exercise. I always say that exercise has saved my life...many times.
Looking forward to any feedback and homework!! LOL
Thanks so much for responding, so helpful.

I will PM you my workout. In Jan 2020 I was diagnosed with prostate cancer, in Dec 2020 my wife was diagnosed with GBM. In Feb 2021 I got the COVID vaccine with a reaction. In May 2021 I diagnosed myself with PMR. I went off steroids in Dec 2021. Most of 2021 the gyms were closed. In Nov 2022 my right Carotid was 100% blocked and my left was 70% blocked. I had my left side cleaned. In May 2023 I infected my kidney with a 9mm kidney stone. I had surgery to remove it. Shortly after had my first re-lapse of PMR. (7 day prednisone pack fixed it) In Feb 2024 I had epididymitis with a UTI.(incontinence complications from prostate surgery) So I mention all this because from 68 to 72 has been like a whirlwind for me to dedicate myself to exercise. However, I still feel like a young 72 yr old.
