I had difficulties actually getting to sleep last night for about an hour (it baffles me that I sleep only 4.5 hours a day, yet my body apparently doesn't seem very deprived...), so I woke up at 7:00am instead to give me 3 hours. However, I did wake up to change the clock, so I wonder if it ruined my cycle. I actually don't know if the cycle stops completely if one wakes up, or if there is a small time period that you can go back to sleep and return to the cycle.
I usually jump on the rebounder for about 20 minutes (I recall learning that the first 20 minutes of exercise provides the best results as per the law of diminishing returns), switching up jump patterns and muscle focus. Afterward, I get a quick cool down by bouncing lightly, then on to yoga or Tai Chi (I've forgotten most of the Tai Chi Chuan 24 forms, unfortunately). I followed this routine this morning and found myself very energized during and after the workout. Though since my shower, I've been a bit tired. Usually this passes if I keep myself preoccupied and stimulated
I realize after about two and a half weeks that I haven't followed my initial plan of commenting on specific areas. It didn't seem to fit the way I anticipated. But things change and take shape how they will, and I think this format is more fitting.
