After maintaining a steady 40min of medium physical activity (120-150 bpm) I can say I feel many benefits. Left knee is almost back in business. I regain taste for natural food. I eat more but less junk. I feel having a nice little mat of physical energy. Also it's sinking into a habit, such that if I have nothing to do I'll think about doing 'my' 40 minutes.
Plan.Next : Increase to 60 minutes. 45 being the threshold to tap into slow fat, 15 min of draining will help losing unnecessary reserves. 15 minutes of muscle focused exercises (crunch, pushup, back crunch, custom squats). And 15 min of "holistic" rhythmically constrained movements. I'd love to have loggable accelerometers for quantitative data to plot but alas.
ps: The stationary bike's magnetic brake seems subject to drift. I thought I'd try level 6 instead of 5 today because it felt a little too easy, but went back to 5 in order to stabilize progression. It wasn't easy anymore. Going up 4 => 5 isn't the same as down 6 => 5. All my measures are off somehow. I finished the 40 minutes, 500m lower than usual. Not burned out though.
