Another report from the exercise frontier

This is another in a sequence my occasional Rust posts reporting and commenting upon my late-life attempts (well, at 65 I don’t think I can qualify anymore as ‘middle-aged’) to improve the health-promoting aspects of my lifestyle habits via a self-devised dietary/fitness campaign. Firstly, [...]
