Zone 2 versus Zone 4 training
#zone24

List of focus points
​
1) Pool running
2) Loading and isometric holds
3) Stay positive
4) Protect & compress: compression socks and/or sleeves
5) So not hurry -> start slow run-walk protocol
6) Short laps, not too far
7) Use recovery for technical training (form and breathing)
8) Use environmental stress (NTS) in your favor: High temperature, low speed, to attain high aerobic training
9) As you rebuild focus on speed first, not endurance
10) Strength, injury prevention: toe raises, isometric wall sit, weighted deep squats and walking backwards
11) recovery: mobility, massage gun, dynamic stretching

Box Breathing exercise
#boxbreathing
Box breathing is a simple but powerful breathing technique that involves a four-part breath cycle: inhale, hold, exhale, and hold again, each lasting the same length of time. This cycle, often visualized as moving along the sides of a box, helps bring focus and rhythm to the breath. A typical box breathing pattern might be inhaling for four seconds, holding for four, exhaling for four, and holding again. It’s commonly used by athletes, military personnel, and individuals seeking stress relief to manage anxiety, improve concentration, and restore a sense of calm.
​
The benefits of box breathing are both physical and mental. Physiologically, it helps regulate the autonomic nervous system, promoting a relaxation response that can lower heart rate, reduce stress hormones, and ease muscle tension. Mentally, the practice encourages mindfulness by focusing attention on the present moment, which can reduce feelings of overwhelm and increase resilience to stress. Regular practice of box breathing has also been linked to improved mental clarity, enhanced emotional regulation, and a greater ability to remain calm and focused in challenging situations.

BMI and BRI calucator
#bmibri
BMI (Body Mass index) and BRI (Body Roundess Index) indicate your health risk based on height, weight and/ waist line
BMI (Body Mass Index)
  • Definition: A measure of body fat based on your weight relative to your height. It’s a quick and straightforward way to assess whether your weight is in a healthy range.
  • Formula: BMI=weight (kg)height (m)2BMI = \frac{\text{weight (kg)}}{\text{height (m)}^2}BMI=height (m)2weight (kg)​
  • Ranges:
    • Underweight: BMI < 18.5
    • Normal weight: BMI = 18.5–24.9
    • Overweight: BMI = 25–29.9
    • Obese: BMI ≥ 30
  • Meaning:
    • Lower BMI values suggest being underweight, which may indicate malnutrition or other health risks.
    • Higher BMI values indicate overweight or obesity, which are associated with increased risks of heart disease, diabetes, and other health conditions.
BRI (Body Roundness Index)
  • Definition: A newer metric that estimates body fat and health risks based on waist circumference and height. It provides a more direct measure of body fat distribution compared to BMI.
  • Formula: 
Picture
  • Ranges:
    • Healthy: BRI < 4.9
    • At Risk: BRI ≥ 4.9
  • Meaning:
    • A healthy BRI suggests appropriate body fat levels.
    • A high BRI indicates excess fat and potential health risks, especially related to visceral fat (fat around internal organs).

Why Use Both?
  • BMI focuses on total body weight relative to height, but it does not differentiate between fat and muscle mass.
  • BRI considers fat distribution and is a better indicator of body composition and related health risks.
  • Together, they provide a more comprehensive health assessment. For example:
    • High BMI and Healthy BRI: Likely muscular.
    • High BMI and High BRI: Overweight or obese.
    • Low BMI and Low BRI: Underweight and possibly malnourished.
