    it is. This was a big thing for me back in my cycling a lot days. Beetroot/Beetroot juice aided recovery cos it increases circulation and gets the oxygen around the body quicker (via the red blood cells). beetroot is a superfood. I find the juice a bit unpalatable but love beets or baby beets...

    I don't set the alarm or anything. I just wake around that time and know I can't get back to sleep without tiring myself out again. Duolingo does the trick. And the one-hour thing is ballpark. I aim for 1000XP a day, so once I've gotten that, podcast on, the back to the lad of nod.

    don't get too carried away with the HR thing. Always measure against yourself. Physiologically we're all different and some people just have a naturally lower HR. Having the monitor is always a valuable tool. For one, the zones, as you pointed out. But also for knowing when you go into the red...

    for your case, it sounds like it would definitely help. remember too that bench-press type exercises will work the same muscles as press-ups. There are tonnes of ways to achieve bench-press without an actual bar and weights (such as resistance bands).
