Holy fuck my resting heart rate has continued to improve and over the last month or so it went down another 10 bpm. Im at about 68bpm right now which ia absolutely amazing for a man of my weight. 4 or 5 months ago my resting heart rate was in the low hundreds.
@freemo Keep it up and you can meet me in the 50s. :)
@AmpBenzScientist i will probably need to loose some weight before it comes down much further
@freemo Have you considered heavy weight training?
@AmpBenzScientist
Since i spend so much time traveling the world i dont always have access to weights. That said when im in the usa i will weight lift when i go to the gym
@freemo Swimming like you've been doing does both cardio and strength training. It seems like a much better option considering the injury.
@AmpBenzScientist
Yea water sports is really the best bet for a spinal injury and has done wonders for helping my back recover.
@freemo When I got done weight lifting I would shower off and swim some laps to help with recovery and soreness.
@AmpBenzScientist
I do my pool laps with heavy stiff fins on, so it can be pretty brutal on the legs. Im sore as fuck after an hour of laps.
@freemo That's really good.
@AmpBenzScientist
I agree weight listing is a good way to raise metabolism and loose fat.
My issue is i had a spinal cord injury about 2 - 3 years ago and spent nearly 2 years unable to leave my bed. I put on a lot of weight in that time. So now im back to being very physically active but my weight hasnt quite caught up yet. Just a matter of time at this point.
