Exercise and Sleep for Better Results

You probably know that getting a good night's rest is important. Have you ever considered the relationship between how much you sleep and the results you get from working out? 

Hitting the gym and working out is the first thing you need to do to build muscle or get fit. But one thing people ignore is the power of sleep on your gainz. Come find out how not getting enough sleep can actually make it harder to reach your fitness and health goals.

It's pretty obvious that being well rested will give you the energy it takes to get in a good workout. But there are other benefits as well. As the video from PictureFit explains, sleep deprivation harms your body's breakdown of glucose, which is needed for energy. Getting sleep also helps maintain healthy a balance of hormones, in addition to helping you lose more fat.

Beyond that, a lack of sleep disrupts muscle repair and prevents you from see the results you want from the gym.

So it's true that sleeping helps you exercise, but it's also true that exercise helps you sleep!

What this means is that we can use exercise to help us sleep better, which can in turn can help our workouts do more for us. Recognizing and harnessing the power sleep and exercise together is key to getting the best out of a healthy lifestyle.
