2024.05.22 00:03 Ok-Bobcat-9231 hi!! signs of aging, or something to worry about??
(rat tax) submitted by Ok-Bobcat-9231 to RATS [link] [comments] my boy, lester, is over a year and a half now, and ive noticed some things that could be aging, but i wanna make sure! we're trying to schedule a vet appointment right now too, but im still nervous he's a lot less active than he used to be, he doesn't come out of his hide a lot, it takes some coaxing to get him to come out of the cage, and he used to be more skittish and anxious but he's calmed down so much and warmed up to me more in a pretty short time, he seems a bit tired when I weighed him and his brother some months ago, his brother was about 500 grams, and Lester was about 700. they've always had a significant size difference, they had the same diet and exercise, and they had the same body shape and frame, lester was just sized up, I never thought he was overweight. today I weighed them again, lester is about 550 grams, and his brother is about 500 still. he doesn't seem to be like, on-his-death-bed-thin, but he's definitely thinner than he used to be he also has increased porphyrin secretion! around his nose, everyday for a week or two, there's been a bit of that reddish brown stuff. it seemed like all of this happened so fast, and it worries me a lot but im trying to believe it's just because he's getting old, and he's not in pain or anything. there's been no changes in his diet, or his bedding or cage or environment, everything's the same:( his brother doesn't show any of these signs either!! he's the same old goober. active, happy, seems to be healthy. does anyone know if this is something i should actually be worrying about? because i am😭 |

2024.05.21 17:40 DrivingDegree Just venting
So I've been diagnosed with WPW around September last year and started taking Bisoprolol to reduce my HR during exercise. The cardiologist said an ablation was recommended, but that we should start with medication regardless and see how it went. I got a little sad then and stopped exercising during winter as I was told I should try not doing very intense exercise either (nothing past 160bpm) - and I love mountain biking so that's a little difficult. submitted by DrivingDegree to wolffparkinsonwhite [link] [comments] Now that it's warm again I've been getting back in shape for a couple months now, everything was going well and I was feeling confident again during exercise until I had an episode last week at the gym, it got triggered while my HR was still less than 130 and I had begun my routine less than 15 minutes prior to. My episodes last around 30 minutes on average, going between 190 and 260bpm. I was hoping that medication could eliminate episodes, but now I'm scheduling an appointment with my cardiologist again, possibly to go with an ablation. I've been reading few posts and experiences from others after an ablation, but just wanted to vent a little more :) |

2024.05.21 07:53 _Raindropsonroses_ Need advice divorce/moving
So due to a recent major life change I am going through a divorce and my European Dobie I call him baby Frank I’ve had him since 9 weeks old he’s about to turn 2 this month. I am moving out of state given recent events and being on my own I’m trying to figure out how to navigate this life change with him because I’m unwilling to re-home him. It’ll be hard for sure because he’s use to his routine and he’s always been around my partner and his dog since his puppy years. I’m hoping he will adapt okay, but I’m also worried he may get depressed. My biggest worry though is being able to give him the time and exercise he needs. Currently I’m in a house so he has a backyard to run around in and my ex partner would help take care of him. However, I’ll be moving and most likely into an apartment on my own with no one to help me. I need help figuring out a plan if it’s possible. I work at the hospital 12 hr shifts 3-4 days a week 6:30pm-6:30am & right now I am on nights but when I move I can always apply for day shift which would be 6:30am-6:30pm typically for most hospitals. I will also be in surgical tech school starting in the Fall. Between work and school and going back to apartment living, does anyone have any ideas as to how I can still give him adequate exercise and take him out to potty etc while I’m at work? He’s potty trained and rings a bell when he needs to go out, he’s also crate trained but I would not leave him in a crate for 12 hours that’s just cruel. I’ve thought about doggy daycare but he would need to be by himself because he doesn’t do well with other dogs. He wasn’t adequately socialized as a puppy because I missed the mark due to being afraid of taking him out without having all of his shots. Just being honest so please don’t harp on me for it. With that being said, I would have to pay extra for doggy daycare because he’d need to be separated. I do plan to send him for better training with a qualified trainer when I have the money though probably after I get settled into my new life. I’ve thought about using the Rover app to maybe have someone come take him out and play for a bit while I’m at work but I’m hesitant because I would need to meet them and get to know them first to trust them and see how Frank warms up to them as well. What are my options? I have a friend at work who said she just leaves her dogs at the house while at work and they’re fine but this isn’t just any house dog. It’s only for 3 days a week, and Idk if doggy daycare is an option for those days because of the hours and if I work overnights like how do I make this work? Do I switch to days and leave him at the house? Do I put him in overnight doggy daycare for those 3 days? Please help! The last thing I want to do is try to rehome him. He’s also an ESA animal with documentation. When I first got him I was in an apartment, so I’ve done that living arrangement before, it just sucks. And it would only be temporary once I graduate hopefully next Spring, I could look at renting a house. Please help!!! He’s all I have left and he’s my entire world. Is this even possible?! submitted by _Raindropsonroses_ to DobermanPinscher [link] [comments] |

Reviews🔗Resistance Bands Set for Diverse Exercise and Fitness Needshttps://preview.redd.it/oyfc1gmzmp1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=87bc2a42065ae4535de4e60944193e9e42c1253d As someone who's been using these resistance bands in my daily workout routine, I must say they are quite effective in providing a challenging workout. One of the highlights has to be their ability to stack up to 125-150 lbs, offering various resistance levels based on color coding. For instance, yellow represents 15 lbs, red 20 lbs, and so on. This flexibility allows me to customize my training sessions based on my fitness level. Made from 100% natural latex, these bands are not only eco-friendly but also boast good elasticity and non-slip handles. The door anchor included further enhances the workout options by enabling wall-mounted exercises. I've found these resistance bands particularly useful for toning muscles, increasing strength and flexibility. However, one downside might be that they don't appear to last as long as I would like. After heavy use, I've had to replace them more frequently than anticipated. Nevertheless, considering their affordability and effectiveness, they remain a valuable addition to my home gym equipment. In conclusion, these resistance bands from Bob and Brad offer a versatile and effective way to enhance your workout routine. With adjustable resistance levels and additional accessories like door anchors and ankle straps, they provide a complete fitness solution right at home. While their durability could be improved, overall, they definitely deliver for their price point. 🔗Whatafit 11-Piece Resistance Bands Set for Home and Travel Workoutshttps://preview.redd.it/a192b1vzmp1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=acca50618ab757e2495a332e5a59b8df41629e35 I've been using the Whatafit Resistance Bands Set for a few weeks now and it's been a game-changer in my home workout routine. The different colored bands are adjustable, which means I can get just the right resistance for each exercise. Plus, they're super portable, making them perfect for taking on trips or storing in a small apartment. One of the standout features of this set is the quality of the materials. Each band is clearly marked with its equivalent weight, so I know exactly how much resistance I'm getting. And unlike some cheaper sets, these bands have held up well even after multiple uses. However, there are a couple of downsides to this product. The handles can be a bit small for some people, making them a bit uncomfortable to use. Plus, the clips that attach the bands to the handles can be a bit difficult to snap on. Overall, I'd say the Whatafit Resistance Bands Set is a great addition to anyone's home gym. It's versatile, easy to use, and made with good quality materials. Just be prepared to potentially double up on the straps and wear gloves if you have larger hands! 🔗Fabric Resistance Bands Set for Multiple Strengthshttps://preview.redd.it/xyamtr60np1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c6d259f5eeaf5d59d43abab82510c00fc13075e0 Using Vive's Fabric Resistance Bands has been a game changer in keeping my workout routines diverse and challenging. The set includes three resistance bands with varying levels of resistance – light, medium, and heavy – catering to different fitness levels. The light teal band provides a gentle resistance that's perfect for beginners and those looking for a more manageable workout. The dark teal band ramps up the resistance, making it ideal for intermediate workouts. And the black band is a heavy-duty option that's suitable for advanced fitness enthusiasts. What I particularly love about these bands is their comfortable fabric blend. They're soft against the skin, making them a pleasure to use, even during long workout sessions. Plus, the non-slip lining ensures they stay in place throughout your workout, eliminating any distractions. However, one drawback I noticed is the limited color options. While the light and dark teal colors are appealing, I would have appreciated a wider color palette to choose from. Despite this minor issue, I have to say that these resistance bands have significantly enhanced my workout experience. They're lightweight, easy to use, and incredibly effective, making them a must-have for anyone looking to elevate their fitness game. 🔗Perform Better 4-Pack Mini Resistance Bands for Training and Warmuphttps://preview.redd.it/ptb16cp0np1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=919305b5ddeef73b675b4670d8483dbfc71f7982 As a fitness enthusiast who's been using these Perform Better Mini Band Resistance Loop Exercise Bands, I can attest that they've made a significant difference in my workout routine.

Not only have these resistance bands improved my physical fitness, but they've also helped me recover from injuries. I experienced a knee injury a few months back, and using these bands during my physical therapy sessions has accelerated my recovery process. However, there is one downside to these bands. They can be quite slippery, especially when getting started with a new exercise. This can make it difficult to maintain proper form and can potentially lead to injuries if not handled properly. In conclusion, these Perform Better Mini Band Resistance Loop Exercise Bands have been a game-changer for my fitness routine. They offer a versatile, durable, and portable solution for adding resistance to my workouts, and their professional-grade quality ensures that I'll be using them for years to come. While there's a minor inconvenience with their slipperiness, that's a small price to pay for the tremendous benefits they provide. 🔗Resistance Loop Bands for Home Workoutshttps://preview.redd.it/gpyin7z0np1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=88aafcdcd01ed1eee61aa5258fb4a7849afd503e I recently got my hands on the Blogilates Loop Bands - 4pk, and oh boy, these have been a game-changer in my daily workout routine! Having four different resistance levels, from light to crazy, has allowed me to tailor my workout sessions according to my mood and energy levels. The highlight of my experience has been the fact that these loop bands are incredibly easy to pack. This feature has made maintaining a fitness routine while traveling so much simpler for me. Plus, the designs are developed by none other than Cassey Ho, a leading fitness personality and Pilates instructor. Her expertise guarantees that these loop bands will take your home workouts to the next level! However, there were also a few minor drawbacks. The light resistance bands, while serving beginners, weren't as effective for me when I desired an intense workout. Additionally, the plastic-like texture of the bands can be a bit off-putting at first, especially if you're used to fabric resistance bands. Despite these minor issues, I've seen a significant improvement in my overall fitness since incorporating these loop bands into my workout regimen. Their portability and various resistance levels make them a must-have for anyone looking to diversify their home workout sessions. 🔗5-Level Resistance Bands Set for Home Workoutshttps://preview.redd.it/grfj4re1np1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ccf5cf8f39f733fc9065b83dc1c13482915a19fc I never thought I'd enjoy resistance training until I discovered the HPYGN Resistance Bands Set. This set is perfect for a variety of muscle groups, making them an essential part of my home workout routine. The bands are easy to use and adjust, and the door anchor allows me to create custom workout setups with ease. The quality of the bands is impressive, especially considering the 150lb tension level. I've been using these bands for body shaping and weight loss, and I've definitely noticed a difference in my strength and endurance. However, some of the bands can be quite bulky, making them difficult to store when not in use. Overall, I would highly recommend the HPYGN Resistance Bands Set to anyone looking to build strength, endurance, and stamina. They are a versatile and effective exercise tool that can be easily incorporated into any workout routine. 🔗5 Piece Black Exercise Resistance Bands Set with Handles, Door Anchor, Ankle Strapshttps://preview.redd.it/7bzfznx1np1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c783cbfa68ed770f4a7dcac834e965f00099f79c In my fitness journey, I've tried countless tools and gadgets for strength training - but the Himaly Exercise Resistance Bands have truly taken the cake. This set of five resistance bands comes with different levels of tension, allowing me to challenge myself as my fitness level progresses. The first thing that caught my eye was the sturdiness of these bands. Unlike some cheaper options out there, these are designed with a dual security loops on the handle and made from TPE material to ensure maximum durability. It feels like they're built to last, even after hours of intense workout sessions. Another significant feature is how versatile they are.

Plus, since they're so lightweight and easy to store, I can take them anywhere, making them perfect for those who travel often or simply prefer working out at home. However, one thing worth mentioning is that while these bands are great for women and even most men, if you're looking for something extremely challenging for male workout enthusiasts, you might need to look elsewhere. These bands are perfect for maintaining strength and toning up, but don't quite offer the level of resistance some muscle-bound workout warriors might require. Overall, I would recommend the Himaly Exercise Resistance Bands to anyone looking for an effective and versatile strength training tool. They're durable, easy to use, and can help you achieve your fitness goals from the comfort of your own home. 🔗Cloth Resistance Bands - Set of 4 by WODFittershttps://preview.redd.it/e86rxvl2np1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=09c6d75fbd1906eef3b9edc0c80d2f22c362a0fa I've been using the WODFitters Fabric Resistance Bands for a while now, and I must say, I'm impressed.

I've had the pleasure of using all four of them and can say that they are all of great quality and offer excellent resistance. However, there was one review that pointed out some disappointment with the bands. The user found them to be less resistant than the original ones. Nevertheless, considering most other users' positive experiences, it seems that this might be an isolated case.

You can opt for either a 1/2" thick mat or a 1/4" thick mat, depending on your preference. Both the yoga mat towel and hand towel are made of 100% microfiber, providing excellent absorption to keep my sessions sweat-free and comfortable. However, the strap did seem a bit bulky for my taste. It resembled more of a luggage strap than a yoga strap. This is a minor inconvenience, though, and it didn't affect my overall satisfaction with the product. I also appreciated the durability and support this set offered. The mats and blocks are sturdy and well-made, withstanding daily use for weeks now. The knee pad has been a lifesaver for me, providing extra cushioning and comfort during some of my more challenging poses. In conclusion, I would highly recommend the Balancefrom GoYoga 7-piece Set to anyone starting their yoga journey or looking to enhance their existing practice. It's well-made, comfortable, and offers an excellent value for the features it provides. The only drawback is the bulkiness of the carrying strap, but that's a minor inconvenience compared to the wealth of benefits this set offers. Remember, the real test of a yoga set is how it performs in use, not how it looks in pictures. And in my case, this set has truly exceeded my expectations.

Additionally, the mat is available in a variety of colors, which allows me to match it with my workout attire or set the mood for my practice. However, there are some drawbacks to this mat.

In conclusion, the Live Well 360 Organic Cotton Yoga Rug offers a comfortable and ethical choice for yogis looking for a natural mat option.
