Yes. He has incredible genetics and is very fit. I remember reading it after he got his first medical after being inaugurated.
Sinus bradycardia is any heart rate slower than 60 beats per minute; we know from a Jan. 14 Los Angeles Times article that the president's ticker clocks in at around 34-45.

64 when I checked just now.
Shit. I want mine in the 50's now, at least. How exactly does this happen? Just from being more active? How often should one do cardio to be considered in very good shape? I stopped doing cardio for a while now, but I'd like to start again, because it apparently has some really nice benefits.

So, how often to be considered in very good health. I've read a lot of sources in the past hour which said that exercise frequency is one of the most important, and it'd be ideal to do some form of cardio every day for half an hour. Would this be alright? I was thinking of doing sprints twice a week, the other five days doing some less intense form of cardio to keep the heart going, and allow the body to recover from the heavier sessions.

In fact I was looking for a chart giving recovery time
Like the relation between the time needed to go from 90% max to 50%max for instance and how fit you're
OK, that's not clear
I give you an example :
Id it takes 30sec to go from 90% max to 60%max you're an athlete
Id it takes 50sec to go from 90% max to 60%max you're an just fit
Id it takes 1 min to go from 90% max to 60%max you're an ....
Do you have that ?

So would it be okay to do cardio 7x a week, two high-intensity sessions and five low-intensity. Or three moderate-intensity and four low-intensity? Some kind of mix, basically. I love being active daily with random activities that are available and figure it can't do any more harm than it can good. I mean, if I was trying to become 260 lbs. of solid mass shredded at 8%, it wouldn't be ideal because I'd lose muscle but...a lot of old-school bodybuilders competed, and looked awesome, at 180 lbs. Frank Zane, I believe.
Not that I'm trying to be a builder, either. I just want to be in superior health, while adding size and strength to allow myself an advantage over anyone else should I get enough money and time to start participating in a ring. Plus, it's just nice to be bigger and stronger.

Your goals sound noteworthy. I think a good way to help keep them is to look up a local race scheduele and try doing some 3-5-and 10k.
Your body will not like jumping right into 7 days a week. I'm trainsitioning from 6 to 7 now and it looks like this:
Sunday: Long @ easy-moderate pace (8-12)
Mon: spin 45 mins
Tues: Track/speed work
Wed: spin 45 mins
Thurs: Track/speed work
Fri: Medium @ moderate pace (4-6)
Sat: Spin 45 mins or swim
Few things to think about:
1) Joint health. Hydration is a big part of joint health because the water is what works as a lubricant between your joints. Also, maybe do some homework on some joint health stuff (I use something called Move Free - a stack of chondriton, glucosamine, and MSM - find it in the old people section of drug stores).
2) Right shoes. Find a running store that does stride/gait analysis. You might have a pronation or something that could lead to injury without the right shoes. The running sneakers you find in the typical shoe store are really made for just 20% of the population (neutral runners) and can and do cause problems for everyone else.
3) Don't be discouraged by bad days. I had a horrid run this morning - but accept that it's going to happen and figure out why.
4) Hydrate hydrate hydrate. Use Ultima but if you can't, at least use water. Make sure that urine is always near clear.
5) Maybe join a running club. Often they have coaches with a lot of experience who can help you out.
6) Get Bob Glover's Book - either the Runners handbook or the Competitive runners handbook. Both at amazon.
Good luck.

Is that 8-12 four hours of straight cardio? Damn man haha.
Would it be okay to just use sprints as my only source of running, since it's so high-impact, and use a stationary bike as my other cardio days? I don't want to wear my knees outt oo quick, if that's what running does.
