It's amazing how adaptive the cardiovascular system can be when you focus on the right things and keep it very consistent.
I went from having a resting heart rate of 70-80bpm to the upper 30s with a rowing regimen. The positive effect this has on moment-to-moment existence is really hard to overstate.
- wonger_ 1y agoWow, I've never heard of a resting heart rate below 40bpm. Can you describe some of the effects on your moment-to-moment existence? Do you never run out of breath? Is it easier to "get up and go"? Any mental differences? Appetite & metabolism?
- vakde 1y agoSounds amazing. Please do share details of how you did it?
- vunderba 1y agoWhen I was doing swim sprints in my 20s, my resting HR hovered between 35-38 BPM. While I am still very active, I haven't engaged in that level of intense cardio for years, but resting HR still hasn't peaked above 45.
