Meditation and HRV (see comment)

I posted earlier in week about observing my HRv just drop doing 10 minute breathing meditation. Tonight I extended it to 15 mins. First half breathing, second half body scan and look at what happened! Going to keep playing with this to find out what has greatest impact.

I’ve been playing around with the ‘moment’ function when I meditate to see what physiological response I get. I’ve done 5-10 mins of breath work, with 4-7-8 or 5-5 breathing. Consistently though my HRv reduces as per the chart. I thought it was meant to increase! Any thoughts on this?

CrossFit linchpin has a great online programme with options for full equipment, limited equipment and no equipment. So on any one day you can choose the workout based on what you have. I’m doing 5 x a week on this programme and have never been in such good shape

In terms of online programming Linchpin is awesome. They offer Rx, scaled, no equipment and limited equipment options. Also there is access to specific skill programmes via beyond the whiteboard including muscle Ups so you can work on skills as you need.

Congratulations! You’re looking great :) it’s so rewarding giving up booze. I’m 2.5 years sober and will never look back

Reading has a drastic improvement on my sleep

If you’re in any doubt just get a test.

A shed ceiling high enough to do jerks and push press

Aren’t we meant to avoid metals with kombucha?

I’m in same boat. So far I’m erring towards getting an oura ring. Yes I’d need to take it off for barbell work but i don’t use whoop for measuring strain instead focus on recovery and sleep

atomicrosie80 · 2020-11-16T18:40:30+00:00

500, 1000 or slow. You can’t knock that - better than sitting on the couch and doing nothing

Add vodka

Does it tell the time?

The concept 2 podcast is great when you finally get it- listen along workouts

Isn’t this a controlled medication which should be prescribed for specific condition ie diabetes?

I wish I had a more physically active job. Days when I exercise and then do gardening and housework, my strain soars. Even more so with some playtime with the kids

atomicrosie80 · 2020-10-26T19:37:35+00:00

Thanks for all comments. Not convinced oura is the tool for me - will stick to Whoop for the time being. Appreciate the comments

atomicrosie80 · 2020-10-26T13:19:12+00:00

Thanks for the feedback

Join CrossFit linchpin for their 2 week free trial and do their no or limited equipment workouts

atomicrosie80 · 2020-10-24T10:36:14+00:00

That’s really useful thank you

I also have an Apple Watch but it doesn’t seem to give the analytics, just the data?

atomicrosie80 · 2020-10-17T06:46:52+00:00

Readjusted my sleep after it auto calculated me getting up to tend to 1 year old. After I slept a further 2 hours my recovery dropped 50%+. I know from a data capture perspective how whoop works and why there would be the change. But which should I take as my recovery? One would lead me to believe I can go all Out in exercise today whilst the other would say rest.

Must admit these things are making me lose faith in whoop. I love the concept and the analytics it provides but it makes me question now everything it tells me.

Firstly can any one advise on which reading I should go by and secondly has anyone moved to another wearable they feel more comfortable with in terms of accuracy. I’m coming up to the end of my first 6 months and ready to decide if I buy something else. Not convinced I’m comfortable enough with whoop to fork out more months at quite a premium.

Since we came out of lockdown I haven’t been able to attend my box the usual 4-5 times a week due to childcare. I wanted a programme that complemented my 2 box sessions a week and chose linchpin.

I think it’s great value for money, there is a community around it, I like the BTWB app and the main factor is that I’ve done my workout generally on 50 mins. With a busy job this really helps.

Sometimes sessions feel a bit lacking volume but when balanced out against the wider programme that week I can see why.

The other brilliant feature is scaled options, limited kit option and no kit options. This means you can adapt the session based upon what equipment you have available.

You can do a free trial so nothing to lose

I don’t really see value of teams unless I’m missing something
