\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The last time I came back from being really out of shape was when I was 35, did a treadmill test and they told me I had the heart and lungs of a 45 year old.\u00a0 Got back into shape, did another test at 45 at which point they told me I had the heart and lungs of a 35 year old.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 In spite of that being 22 years ago, I still have some pretty good memories of the process and I remember smaller muscles like biceps, triceps, taking about two days to recover and larger muscles like quadriceps taking three or so.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Yesterday, my third workout in 7 years, I really hit it with a pretty high intensity, came back with a soaked T-shirt, and every muscle on my frame ached.\u00a0 And I really expected to be very sore today, but I’ve almost completely recovered overnight.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 I had expected, being much older, my recovery period would be longer, but the opposite is true.\u00a0 One thing I’m doing differently these days is I take quite a few anti-oxidant supplements and also quite a few supplements for nerve regeneration such as alpha lipoic acid.\u00a0 I wonder how much these things impact recovery time.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 In just three workouts I’ve already knocked my resting heart beat rate down ten beats per minute and the nerve pain is way down.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 I am pleased that my recovery period is so short.\u00a0 I am hopeful that it will allow me to progress towards a healthy state faster than before.\u00a0 I believe God is preparing me for something, not sure what quite yet.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
