Marijuana and exercise.

Today, I got really high with my buddies. I know that totally goes against being /fit/, but I don't smoke cigarettes and I seldom smoke weed. I managed to resist the munchies while my friends were pigging out. I was fairly proud of myself for that. Until I remembered today was my cardio day. Lying there, I felt like doing any light exercise would be impossible, let alone strenous cardio activity.

Then I realised that I would be very pissed off tomorrow that I had been so weak, and if I managed it, It would be motivation for future exercise. If I can do it whilst high, I can sure as hell do it sober. So I decided to man up, and just try my cardio.

I just finished. I made a personal best on my time, had so much energy, and never once reached my usual mental-blocks. It felt seriously great. Why is this? Can anyone else report on the results of drugs and exercise. It goes against everything I was expecting.

It's because the effects of marijuana are all in your pussy-whipped little head and you've been pretending to be high all this time, faggot.

Fucking hippie

Ok, with that out of the way, I'm writing a paper for my Research Methods class about the relationship between exercise and music. One of the reasons why peoples' workouts are better when they listen to music is because it distracts them from the unpleasant feelings associated with exercise. I'm guessing since MJ is used for pain relief, the unpleasantness and pain of running was reduced for you, allowing you to run longer and/or faster.

You really shouldn't rely on weed or music all the time to get you through a workout though. Doing without builds mental toughness. Just something to keep in mind.

That actually makes sense, to the layman. Thanks.

I guess the obvious problem is that if you don't feel the full effects of pain, then you are liable to over-exert yourself. an injury wouldn't be worth it.

I'm definately not thinking of making this a permanent or even semi-regular thing, I was just interested by the counter-intuitive results I achieved.

I vaporize quite abit cause I'm in chronic pain but I absolutely never do it before lifting or cardio

the only downside is the fact that pot reduces your REM sleep which in turn reduces your overall rest and growth during that sleep period, how much it is reduced I don't know

but it's the 1 thing that I personally do and know handfuls of atheletes I go to college with who do the same and are on-season (aka no drankin)

One of my favorite things to do is get high and then long-distance run (3 or more miles), I find it easier to control my breathing (develop a better rhythm) and I'm more motivated to do it to began with, this applies to working out in the gym also, but not quite as much.
