subject: How to Convince Your Clients to Sleep More Hours as a Personal Trainer [print this page] Now I'm certainly not saying that long duration exercise and (HIIT) is bad, so do not look at it that way. Look at the situation of someone who exercises, they need more sleep so they can reach the hormone level changes that are necessary for optimal recovery. So that is another major reason to get more sleep, to not only get what the brain needs and to feel rested, but to optimize hormonal production to recover from exercise faster. So if you aren't seeing the results you feel you should be getting you may be overtraining in proportion to your sleep patterns because you aren't recovering enough during your sleep hours. Make sure you keep your workouts brief and intense to failure; also take at least one day off during the week of training. Keep your stress levels under control during the day so that your cortisol levels stay lower to help offset the immediate nightly rise. Another tip is to make sure you take some slow digesting protein such as casein also found in cottage cheese to help the best hormonal production. Get 8 to 9 hours of sleep so you can push harder during your workouts, recover for the next round of exercises and perhaps see the results that you are looking for.
