Strength and Cardio workouts are always helpful and a great use of time. I have been busy with Mark Lauren "You Are Your Own Gym" and.Bill Phillips "Body For Life".

I tried to do cardio inside. Just wasn't doing the job. Got a free bike. I've only been able to get out twice due to weather, but it was a much better workout.

I use the stationary bike and watch TV doing it. Less boring than a walk.

Raising the Dead by Philip Finch is an excellent book. It’s about the Bushman’s Hole accident and recovery.

It was also featured in Outside magazine yeas ago. The book is very good.

I have not done much yoga and no meditation at all.

Can you explain to me how I would get started in meditation and how that would improve my diving ?

I just like to try stuff, I thought I would try this to learn to be more efficient at breathing: currently my SAC is on the high side if I do not focus on my breathing.

On any dive where I focus on my breathing, I can drastically drop my SAC.

I will send you a PM. One thing I found is that when I don't think about my breathing, I do much better.

I also use the frog kick which has a built in glide cycle which will help to lower your gas consumption a bit.

Somehow I forgot that all RAID theory materials are free at the moment, so you can read them and do quizzes

Linky? Pls?

Me, I'd like to re-read JYC's books which I inhaled as a kid. Problem is, most of them are out of print, and the libraries are closed ATM. As is my LDS, so no gear service. And I'm staying on shore, because I don't want to be the oaf who taxes the health services unnecessarily now that they're gearing up to be prepared for a bunch of CoV-cases. Even though the risk of me needing an airlift and a chamber treatment is rather minor. Those folks have more than enough to worry about, and me not getting in the water is definitely a 1st world problem.
