Exercise

[Phusson]

I have been exercising most of my adult life at the same time around 6:30 am for 40-60 minutes. I use a recumbent bike and light dumbells. I've been trying different med schedules and most days I do it before I take my first dose at around 8am. I can go at a much faster pace if I wait for the second dose (after 10:30) but I've been on this schedule for so long it's a hard habit to break. I'm wondering if anyone thinks I'm doing more harm than good exercising before taking my first dose?

I don’t think you’re doing more harm, but that’s just my opinion. Do whatever works best. I do some exercise when I’m slower because my balance is better and some exercise when I am fully on because I can handle a higher intensity then.

When you exercise while in a fasted state, you increase autophagy. I assume if you haven’t had meds you are fasted. Black coffee is said to increase autophagy.

I'll have to look up autophagy. Thank you

I’m actually amazed that you can do any serious exercise without meds. Well done 👍

It is a lot easier when medicated
