For those who took active steps(no pun intended),
Beyond just drugs, what amount of cardio and what intensity/frequency/zone, and or diet changes have you made that lowered your resting rate?
I drink plenty of water, eat my micros, get 8-15K steps a day, but consistently do almost zero cardio due to my maintenance calories being on the higher end already. I noticed my RHR has been 90-110 for the last year or so after passing a lean 220lb. I spent two months doing 60-90 minutes of zone 2 cardio a week (typical recommendation) but didn't notice a difference. Only major impact I've noticed is from dropping bodyweight which is not the goal obviously.
As I intend to continue putting on more weight on I've grown concerned for my heart health and am looking for advice for those who found themselves in a similar spot and were able to correct it.
