Aerobic exercise is good for us all
E ACH Y E A R I marvel at the superb training and
endurance of professional road cyclists in the
Tour de France. I believe that professional cyclists
are among the very best of the elite athletes. They
train and compete year-round all over the world, in
extreme conditions. The 2021 event saw some of the
most extreme mountain stages in the Pyrenees with
descents of up to 60 mph.
Then there are the accidents that are often dramatic.
These athletes crash hard, sustain severe road
rash-sometimes bone fractures, facial injuries, and a
demolished bike-yet they regroup, fight through the
pain, and get back on a fresh bike and continue. They
do that for 21 days, most stages of the race more than
100 miles in length.
The science involved in training these athletes is
amazing. Their nutritional intake with proper balance
of proteins, electrolytes, and carbohydrates is
customized for each individual rider. The sport foods
now available make it easy to eat on the run, with
the variety of nutritional bars helping deliver the fuel
they are burning during the race day, in the ballpark
of 4,000 to 6,000 calories.
They must have a good combination of strength,
endurance, and intensity training to perform at the
competitive level. I'm most impressed by the intensity
part of the equation. Intensity level is described
and measured in several ways, including percent of

maximum heart rate and percent of VO2
max (the maximum amount of oxygen the
body can utilize during a specified period
of usually intense exercise). I can relate
to VO2
max by how short of breath I get
running up several flights of stairs. Not
nearly as efficient. For me, a three-mile
walk with some intervals of running gets
me to a level where I can feel comfortable
that I'm getting some aerobic exercise, as
the experts tell us is a good thing.
Fortunately, we don't need to train
to the intensity that even comes close
to that of professional cyclists. From
a medical certification standpoint,
staying aerobically fit doesn't require
high-intensity, fat-burning, exhausting
activity. Consider the simple act of
taking a walk. If you're at the airport
and the airplane doesn't feel like flying,
take a brisk stroll on the grounds. And
if you attended EAA AirVenture a few
months ago, rest assured that most days
you probably logged your 10,000 steps.

President, AOPA Finance
Q What are my options for
financing an airplane that
will need an engine overhaul
almost immediately after
purchase? I am willing to put
enough down so that there
is equity in the airplane for
an engine overhaul loan.
A Rolling an overhaul
into a purchase is a fairly
simple process. As part of
our internal review and the
lenders' underwriting, two
values for the aircraft will be
determined. One as-is for
the purchase and a second
with a zero-time engine.
Financing can be up to 85
percent of the final value
with the overhaul included.
Assuming value is roughly
equal to cost, financing
would look like $31,875
toward the purchase (85
percent of $37,500) and
$20,400 toward the engine
for a total loan of $52,275.
