Consistency over quantity has worked well for me. Getting outside early, as close to when you wake up as possible, and going for a walk is a good way to build up to jogging. 15-30 min of cardio does a lot for cognition, doesn’t have to be intense either.
I regularly exercise on 10-15mg of adderall, and while I definitely sweat more and my HR is higher, I’ve never felt like the meds have made it dangerous to workout for my heart.
Thank you so much! Your feedback has left me more at ease. I was likely overthinking it.
Overthinking? With adhd??! Lol, I get that. Glad it helps! Nice with the small community here, seems more genuine.
