You can try to set like a goal unrelated to mental health like “ I want my resting heart rate to be —“ and see if coming at it from another angle like that would be more motivating?

I know it’s a vicious cycle and easier said than done but I’ve been there to an extent and having a physical goal help keep me in track

Then there’s people like me who go fckn nuts and wanna off themselves and everyone around them if I don’t exercise regularly and get proper sleep

Just a week or two off of cardio in general is noticeable on anxiety and anger levels especially

“Low intensity” he’s specifically referring to zone two cardio, which every type of athlete has to do a lot of to maximize performance

Just look up “aerobic exercise and mitochondria” https://www.trainingpeaks.com/blog/zone-2-training-for-endurance-athletes/

I just picked one of the first ones there but yeah, google scholar will take you to better ones if you add stuff like meta-analysis or review to it

Idk if what they said about high intensity was true though

Coming from someone already thin and athletic, as long as you move a lot during your fast you’re going to lose a neglible amount of muscle/strength

Nothing noticeable at least
