Sleep for Fitness

August 28, 2016 · Filed under Uncategorized

Did you know that most of the bodily development that results from exercise occurs when you sleep? That’s right, while you’re getting your Z’s your body is rebuilding and strengthening itself. Many exercisers devote time to their workout and even pay attention to their nutrition, but neglect this key component of a healthy lifestyle.

To get a good night’s sleep, avoid using computers and tv’s with bright screens in the evening. Get a book or talk with your family, then have a nice hot drink. A cool, dark room with warm blankets provides a cozy, healthy sleep environment.

Sleep is critical to our physical and mental health, so be sure to get as much as you need!
