Maintaining a high level of performance is dependent on several things, namely nutrition, physical activity, and sleep. When you ignore one of these or one of them is insufficient, your weight will suffer. The amount of sleep you get directly effects staying at a healthy weight.
Hormones in your body respond to the food that you ingest. One of those hormones is cortisol. Cortisol comes from the adrenal glands located on top of your kidneys. When you do not get enough sleep the adrenal glands release cortisol and travels to your brain and triggers it to think that your body is hungry even if you have already eaten.
When you sleep, your body replenishes the growth hormones in your body. When you do not get enough sleep, growth hormone levels are reduced, which in turn reduces the body’s ability to grow new muscle. We know limitations will happen in life that affects your sleep schedule such as your night life, work, babies… But try and make your sleep a priority in order to keep that healthy weight and to continue to break those PR’s.
We’ve been discussing sleep cycles and apps recently at Verve, what’s your favorite sleep aide? (And whiskey doesn’t count!)
Today our Outside Moms class will meet at Commons Park at 18th and Little Raven. Bring your stroller and be prepared for some kid-friendly fun.
Remember, Saturday classes will be condensed to a single 7:00AM class at Verve, so you can get your WOD on and then get to enjoy a yummy post-workout breakfast.
On Sunday we’ll host our normally scheduled 10am and 11am WODs, however they will both be at Commons Park (18th and Little Raven.) So come enjoy fun in the sun, and maybe grab some coffee afterward!
