Espi, really they are not that strenuous ... or I should say, they are incorporating plenty of rest periods to allow my heartrate to return to low levels which is the plan. Interval type work is good (according to Dr. Schwarzbein) as long as you allow the heartrate to recover after no more than 5 minutes of continuous elevation. So that's what I've been doing. But if my heartrate gets way up there during a set, I do take rest.

Interesting on the HR. What did me in most of all with NROL FL2/3 was having to workout with predescribed rest times. I hated that much more than the actual exercises which are fun, but challenging. Just go with how you feel = first few sets with very little rest and later on much more time in between , even with some yakking.
I've got to get that Schwarzbein book as well. Things finally fell into place for me when I realized why I can't go/take the very low carb route anymore. It used to be that I could eat sub-50 g of carbs no problem, but I'd put out loads and loads of cortisol. I'd never get tired either, just could go on & on. Obviously , this together with chronic use of EC completely wore me out. Got a real nasty disease because of suppressed immune system (very low carbing does that too).
Interesting part about that AF thread is someone mentioning supps with very high B-vitamins. I swear esp sulbutiamine helped me most after sublingual B12 as I'm no longer forced to eat all of the rice cakes , cookies or chocolate. Apparently B-vitamins help cure AF! Most interesting though is how people with a thyroid problem have their adrenals overcompensate for the lack of thyroid output, which can lead to AF.
Indeed.. very true.
In the meantime no more very low carb. But neither very high carb , as it will mess up the blood sugar (don't want no diabetes and feel crap on very high carb anyway)
