#183

I… already linked it?

#184

S’okay. We had a good run.

#185

Which leads me to another question: do you like children?

And no, although it’s Uni asking the question, not in the paedophilic sense.

Sorry to hear OB, hope you’re doing OK.

#186

Bass fishing.

I don’t think many people are surprised to see a 28-year-old guy playing video games. If they don’t play video games themselves, they tend not to care about what video games I play. I think most people see it as a hobby, just like knitting or ultimate frisbee.

#187

#196

Go back and read the thread! I never said I was in my 50s!

@OtherBill I heard that a fast way to reduce ones heart reate /calm down after excersise is to take a deep breath, hold, then breath out like your angry. Is this true and is there a better way to calm down / reduce heart rate after excersise?

#199

Long, slow, deep breaths certainly do bring your heart rate down—there’s a relationship between your breathing rate and your heart rate, so if you focus on breathing slower, your heart rate will drop as well.

I haven’t heard the “hold, then breathe out like you’re angry” bit, but I wouldn’t do that—holding your breath increases abdominal pressure, and forcefully breathing out requires both conscious thought and intentional muscular contraction, both of which would raise your heart rate. (There are some yogic breathing exercises where you do something like that—it’s an area of yoga called pranayama—but the intent there isn’t to lower the heart rate.)

To lower the heart rate, you need to reduce your body’s need for oxygen, which requires relaxing. There are other yogic methods for this; this might be an interesting read.

At the very least, a long deep 4-second inhale followed by a long deep 6-second exhale would probably be a good starting point.
