Can you share what your cardio routine is specifically? My resting heart rate is also in the 80-100, and I’ve been interested in getting down lower

- thenerdhead 5y agoI do 4 mile runs 3x a week. Play pickup basketball 1-2x a week. Lift weights 3x a week. Do deep breathing exercises at home (i.e. hold breath for 1 minute, 1.5 minutes, etc).
- jimkri 5y agoIF you're looking to get into cardio I would recommend: - Treadmill on an Incline of 11 and then depending on your level of comfort, put the walking speed to 3 and do quick sprints for 30seconds or longer. Rest and repeat. This is something that keeps me entertained and also is really tough, I will try to do this for 15 minutes. Since you are focused on lowering your resting heart rate, I would look into Heart Rate Training, where your focus is to keep your heart rate below a threshold and as you continue running you will be able to run faster below that threshold. This also helps with Preventing Injuries which has always happened when I tried to rush my progress: https://marathonhandbook.com/heart-rate-training-zones-for-runners/ https://marathonhandbook.com/heart-rate-training-zones-for-r... One of the things that has really helped me lately has been a proper warmup before working out. Sitting all day makes my hips and glutes super tight, so unlocking them has really helped with injury prevention as well. - Stair climbers are my next go to for a hard but great workout. - Ellipticals are also easy on the knees but are a little boring for me.
