#36 Breath IV

-

From James Nestor's Breath: The New Science of a Lost Art,

“Finding the best heart rate for exercise is easy: subtract your age from 180. The result is the maximum your body can withstand to stay in the aerobic state. Long bouts of training and exercise can happen below this rate but never above it, otherwise the body will risk going too deep into the anaerobic zone for too long. Instead of feeling invigorated and strong after a workout, you’d feel tired, shaky, and nauseated.”

I have been working out and never knew if I've hit my best heart rate. Would be interesting to know what is the maximum heart rate I hit every work out. 

---

Do you know your maximum heart rate? Do you think the formula for the best heart rate is a good gauge? 

Let me know!

Take care, be well, see you tomorrow!

While taking another cup of water, I stood still in the kitchen the kitchen my husband and I and my ID, Aaron designed together oh, if this isn't nice, I don't know what is * my home, every item in this place, has its place and its mine the bed, the bathroom mat, the curtains, the flowers on our peninsular I'm so in love with my home right now.  --- *so happy I thought out loud that quote which I first read on Ali Abdaal's newsletter - you can read it here . It's from Kurt Vonnegut and the full quote reads:  "And I urge you to please notice when you are happy, and exclaim or murmur or think at some point, 'If this isn't nice, I don't know what is." inserts face holding back tears emoji  🥹   I urge you to find these moments in your life too, and share them with me!
