Email to my medical team:
1 week of daily:
***no fasted bike
• 1 hr cycling/swim
• 2-3x bone strengthening protocol exercises
• 10 mins core work
2nd week:
***no fasted bike
• alternating between 1hr swim/bike and 30 mins bike with 30 mins gym weight lifting
• 2-3x bone strengthening protocol exercises
• 10 mins core work
Thoughts?
This would be very hard for me but I need to do this.
More data:
There are three fundamental rules that govern bone adaptation:
(1) It is driven by dynamic, rather than static, loading.
(2) Only a short duration of mechanical loading is necessary to initiate an adaptive response.
(3) Bone cells accommodate to a customary mechanical loading environment, making them less responsive to routine loading signals.
