Though I may not have mentioned it before, I try to make a practice of putting off eating for the first time each day until after doing daily workouts. That way, the time between the last meal the previous day and the first meal on the current day is pretty much guaranteed to be 12 hours or more.
From what I’ve read, fasting helps the body to do the best job of rebuilding, boosting its immune system and also of calibrating all of its myriad of clocks which all relate to circadian rhythm and stable sleep cycle. And I’ve also read that doing a little exercise before breaking fast each day helps to enhance the benefit of that limited fast of 12 hours+.
I have no references for what is mentioned in the above paragraph, so you can do your own research & verification if you have any smidgen of doubt.
So today after doing some little first-thing-in-the-morning chores, I started with the workout sessions. There were eight of them. Punny though it may seem, after the eighth one, I ate.
A screenshot is shown here for only one of them. All data and graphs can be seen via this link to the online logbook. To see any session’s data & graph, click the corresponding “+” sign in the “Action” column for the particular session.
There was no atrial fibrillation last night or during the workouts today. Nor is there any now. Hurray!
Happy rowing to you!
