Yes, I recommend that you wrestle at least 1 hour a day + 1
hour warm-up.You can find opponents on the streets or
wrestle with your grandmother or your evil stepmother, or -
if now humans are available, try cats and dogs.

Wrestling is great to become fit, it will make your body
hard as steel.

You can try ECW-style hardcore, too, if you want, but this
COULD be harzardrous to your health or the health of your
opponent.

So let´s get it on !

Fascinating cross-posts snipped. One wonders what messages
preceded this one and the context. Still, a couple of hours
exercise daily is good............ usually......

Wrestling seems a little strenuous to me. I get my workout
with a daily armed robbery.

Whenever I knock over a 7-11 or filling station, the
excitement gets my pulse into the cardiovascular range with
no physical effort on my part.

But I still usually take a little jog afterwards -
particularly if I hear sirens.

I've taken up golf this year.

Less chance of an involuntary manslaughter.

Not necessarily. You should see them ducking for cover
when I slice.

Umm. I wrestled in high school. I really have to recommend
against it for us Type 1's: it's very difficult to fight in
your best weight class and keep enough body fat to make
insulin injections comfortable. And the dietary things that
many wrestlers do to reach their so-called "ideal weight"
are fairly insane (which is why I was always at 10 pounds
over what my coach wanted, which actually left me stronger
than the bean poles who slimmed down to my weight although
they often had more reach, which is why I didn't go to the
state championships). And ye ghods, trying to get your blood
sugar up in advance to survive that 15 minutes of flat-out
exertion without passing out from hypoglycemia and not
entering keto-acidosis in advance either was quite
difficult.

When I won, it was usually because the beanpoles I fought
didn't have the endurance and I'd pin in the final round:
I'd been working my ass off and was fairly tough to pin, and
all the points in the world from the first two rounds don't
help when you're pinned solidly.

ISTR reading an article about a T1 wrestler in the not too
far distant past -- possibly in Dm Forecast?

I'm T2, & not generally on meds, but I do have bg swings to
cope with when I'm running -- more so when I'm racing -- but
never hideously high or hypo-low, though I do sometimes get
a pretty sharpish drop after the event. bj

I went to school with two twins who were type 1. Their
sister would bring a bag of oranges to the wrestling match.
They'd have to wolf some down just prior to wresting, and
while they were on the mat, she'd be peeling more because
they'd be in such bad shape as soon as they got off the mat.
In those days, we didn't have meters. They'd have to judge
by how they felt whether or not they were hypo. I remember
the sister always being terrified that they would in fact
have a hypo.

My husband was also a wrestler when he was in school. He is
short and stocky and tends to put on weight. He said he used
to starve before the match and then eat nothing but small
amounts of cottage cheese and canned peaches during
wrestling season to keep his weight down.

Now that I think about it, some of my worst hypos came about
when Angela was a toddler. I used to wrestle with her quite
frequently to get her to do things like take a bath, get
dressed, or even to change her diaper/pull-ups. She's a
strong little thing. Has been working out with weights
(approved by her pediatrician) since about the time she was
able to walk. And I suppose it didn't help matters that her
dad showed her a variety of wrestling holds and how to get
out of them.
