    Any resources for interval training ? And support for working out?

    Never be afraid to try something !

    Hi All, I had my replacement aortic valve in 2001. Between 2001 and 2004 I was petrified to do anything what with the warfarin for life. Then I took a risk, and joined a jujitsu dojo. I finished last year, due to recurrent shoulder problems, but with four black belts. I received no special...

Never hand many problems though. I took up jujitsu in around 2004 and now have 4 black belts. OK - I...

    INR for mechanical AV

    Hi, I have a mechanical aortic valve (which one I don't know). My range is 2.9-3.9 by my doctor, although my surgeon said 2.0-3.0. Anyway, since the operation in 2001, I have gotten myself 4 black belts in jujitsu, had a crack at some mma and use a doubled edged razor, which I am thinking of...
