Just wanted to say I’m about 3 weeks in my gym journey. I’m looking to lose weight without the muscle going away. That being said after every workout I do a very small amount of high heart rate cardio for about 10 mins. I’ve noticed a significant improvement in the time it takes and steadiness for my heart rate to climb since quitting nicotine and cutting back on marijuana. So much so that In just two weeks of no cigarettes and half the amount of cannabis my heart rate climbs also half as slow. It could have been an off day but I’m finding every day is getting easier as my breathing becomes more in check. I used to need an inhaler now I barely use it. It’s definitely been feeling good to breath better.
