How is my resting heart rate 38 when I am nearly 50 and not a cardio athlete?

 



Want to know a secret? 

A few people asked me how the hell I have a heart rate of 38, when I am 50 this year and not some sort of crazy distance runner 

While there is certainly and big element of strength and fitness from my training journey, the real reason may surprise you 

Inner peace 

Simple as that and any of you can see the instant results in just 1 minute

Don't believe me? 

Check your heart rate on your smartwatch once settled for a few minutes 

Now intentionally breathe in deeply and slowly and out exactly the same 

Take around 10 seconds for each breath and you will notice that your heart rate starts to gradually fall 

You have just left the stress zone and wandered across into the playground of relaxation 

This is so important in the modern world as very few of us realise how much stress we carry from the noise bombarding us and even what to do about it, or that anything can be done 

This simple exercise will ground you, remove stress and create a sense of inner calm 

Once you can extend it to 5 minutes each day you will begin to notice some big progress and walk to path to mindful self-awareness. The most important journey you will ever take 

Enjoy the ride 🙂
