Curious if any of you workout nuts also meditate?

I've been meditating for 10 minutes a day on most days for the past couple of years. The one, two punch of working out and meditation is pretty crazy as far as what it's done for my mood as well as mental and emotional health.

Here's a writeup of a study on the two:

I used Headspace for a year to get started and did mainly guided meditations, but I've switched to just a free bell timer app now that tracks streaks and minutes for unguided meditations.

I'm about to try to up my sessions to 20 minutes a day for a week to see if I noticed any differences by increasing the "dose."
