I do tons of walking. That I think is the biggest trick.
Discussion
I recommend jiu jitsu and strength training too.
Wow! My resting heart rate is 70 just reading this #[5] ! 😅
You can bring it down if you want
please explain how? not sure how to get below 70 (unless asleep)
1. Look at your diet. Digestion increases heart rate, bad digestion moreso.
2. Activity. Do long walks and limit training to activities you want to do regularly.
3. Breathe through your nose always, especially when sleeping.
4. Get great sleep. Doesn’t need to be much.
5. Limit toxins. Like alcohol and anything processed.
Just a few things that could help…
Dr Jack in the house!
Those are all great suggestions. I’m usually between 55-63 for resting heart rate. I need to increase my level of activity. Quality sleep is a major issue (Sleep Apnea). No alcohol or toxins for years.
That’s great!
Ugh I’m a healthy eater and work out (swim, run, CrossFit) many times a week. But I have trouble witch caffeine and alcohol…which affects sleep…I’m trying to quit all the bad things but not easy.
My 7 day average RHR is 42-43.
If pushed I would say it’s 80% content mind and 20% general health.
I have no stress, I am content, I am challenged daily, I have full voluntary emotional control. There is nothing for which I am left wanting.
I’m not really interested in chasing owning/having material things. I do things because they are satisfying to me.
I don’t obsess about health, I don’t follow any rigorous plan or regime other than occasional spontaneous fun.
This seems to work.
Really amazing
Definitely get your sleep apnea worked out, even if you have to wear one of those masks at night. It can lead to blood clots and stroke.
Thanks. I tried the mask but it is BEYOND uncomfortable. I feel like I get less sleep when wearing it. I was looking at Inspire, just not sure I’m ready for that. It’s not fun that’s for sure. 🤷♂️
The #5 is tough one 😂😂
Same. I enjoy wine…

Thanks for sharing. Great tips!
Regarding #3. Buteyko Breathing method is the way. Nose breathing is the way.
#[6] Want to be my gym/health accountability buddy?
do you drink coffee? any caffeine?
Off and on with coffee. I don’t usually but when I’m around morning people that do, I do.
Don’t forget, it’s not just about bringing down your heart rate. Heart rate variability (HRV) is a great measure of a healthy cardiovascular and autonomic nervous system.
How far do you walk each day? I’ve got up to 5 miles a day, and down over 45 lbs since starting!
At least 5m.
8-10km
What do you do when walking? Listen to something like an audiobook, calls, music, or enjoy the walk like a psycho?
Full psycho
😂
😂
Wow, how do you enjoy the walk without distraction? Do you have company? When I walk alone I usually have to listen to something … or catch Pokémon.
I love walking. Don’t need anything else.
Does it have to be like a stimulating environment that you walk in, or do you enjoy walking in a city or a rural town as much as you do on an Oceanside or mountain trail?
Both. Anywhere.
I got myself a walking pad for my stand desk. Went from hardly getting 2K steps a day to 20-40K steps every work day.
Was a total game changer.
Highly recommended.
I always do the most scenic route..

The sights while walking keep me entertained.

🎧 podcast 👌🏼
Walking at my place is amazing. I love it.
I try to use the oportunity to just be present, look around, listen to sounds, even if it's in the city... so... like a psycho? hahaha.
What’s your daily goal? I’ve been trying to hit 10k (love the city so that helps!)
Right off the bat, 70% of your muscles are fighting insulin resistance with walking
