    Re: 2018 Health and Fitness Thread

    Key thing to keep in mind is that I’ve eaten low carb for so long that I’m used to looking dry. Now all of a sudden I’m eating a substantial amount of carbs so I’d expect a significant increase in held water. I think it’s just a case of sorta going from one extreme to another, at least in relation to the first.

    jrock645- AH, OK...see, you gotta school me on stuff related to that diet

    I`m about "deliberate hydration", always consciously reminding myself to drink water to avoid dehydration.

    I somehow always thought of the "retained water" thing as only applying to situations like Pre-Contest, where the bodyfat is already really low and the contestant is aiming for final tweaks (and a look/condition that I would never want).

    Solid workout this morning. Wouldve been better with music. Airpods are acting funny. Twice now theyve been dead for no apparent reason.

    This vitargo stuff is interesting. I take half a scoop before workouts, so about 17 grams. Fast absorbing carb but not high glycemic. The nearly immediate feeling of muscle fullness is incredible, particularly on a cardio day after doing weights the day before. Muscles go from feeling sore like youd expect to feeling FULL 20 minutes after drinking it. Decidedly different feel and its interesting to fee the change.

    jrock645- Hey, that`s something how you notice the vitargo`s effects! And interesting that they do the fast absorbtion without a high GI.

    And heh heh...I don`t envy you that workout without music! I`d die, especially if it was cardio.

    Gee, guess that`s another perk to working out at home, I dunno how well I`d do with buds/etc., never liked such stuff. (Eh, just me, I don`t like wearing rings/etc. either).

    My girlfriend just signed me up for a 5k in a few months at the Stuart Air Show. Training has begun. Failure is not an option.

    IMO (and I`m NOT a distance runner by any means!) a 5K is a good, reachable, goal for most people. And not the sort of (IMO) goofy-extreme endeavor that`ll be counterproductive.

    MattPersman- Heh heh, that`s good Although I`m a little surprised that 30K was class-leading, some folks really cover a lot of ground on a regular basis.

    I got at least one such gizmo as a gift, but eh...just not for me. I don`t even wear my wris````ch enough to keep it wound, and I *LOVE* everything about that thing. Haven`t worn my wedding ring more than a few times/year, just don`t like having such stuff on my and I carry enough, uhm.."daily essentials" everywhere I go as it is.

    NOT knocking them in the least, think they`re really swell for most anybody...anybody but me.

    Yep. Tried your way and I just can’t sustain the max output for the full 40 seconds, so I end up actually not being able to get my HR as high. Was barely cracking 150 doing it that way, whereas it takes a couple intervals but my normal way can break 160.

    Now that I’m not doing as much cardio, my resting HR has crept up a tad. I’m in the high 50’s as opposed to right at 50 a couple months ago. Not anything to worry about but something I’ve noticed.
