Do they go hand and hand or is just a slowing substance for the individual working out?

Thanks for your time

More of a sativa strain can be a stimulant whereas an indica might just make you want to lie down and take everything really slow for a while.

Are you asking if marijuana actually slows down the body's metabolism? Because I've often wondered that myself.

weed_lover

yes that is a good question 2 ask to but i dont understand what u mean by stimulant??

I'm actually a fully qualified sports trainer. I smoke weed alot and still manage to work out alot, i dont train people anymore, but just dont get high then do a workout it'll make u feel like crap. and i seriously doubt that weed would speed up your metabolism, i dont think it would do anything, but of course i could be wrong.

Anyway alcohol can destroy a whole week of exercise way worse than weed could.

It totally depends on the person and the exercise.
Personally, I think pot and exercise are a match made in heaven...

There are actually bodybuilders who smoked a lot of weed back in the time when it was legal, for the stimulating effect and probably the depressant effect too. Sativa is a stimulant, so it's suitable pre workout, while Indica is suitable for bedtime.

I like pot for yoga, not so much for cardio or weights. It tires me out more quickly when I am on the treadmill, and my muscles feel weaker when I'm stoned and try to lift weights (probably because they're just completely relaxed...)

But yoga + pot = amaaaaaaaazing.

Great point Bhikku, I'll bet yoga and pot do make an excellent combination!

I defenitely wanted to second this: Yoga and marijuana equal heaven! I usually use the vaporizer so that my lungs open up without combustion, put some mellow music on and slowly move and stretch. By far my favorite use of the herb!
