Alcohol and Cortisol

Training is hard work — and it’s important to do everything possible to make sure that you’re getting the most out of every session. Unfortunately, some factors can seriously sabotage your progress, and alcohol and cortisol are two of the biggest culprits. Alcohol not only dehydrates you and messes up your sleep schedule, but it can also wreak havoc on your cortisol levels, leading to decreased muscle production and increased fat storage.

When it comes to alcohol and weight gain, there’s no denying the harsh reality – excessive drinking can lead to a bigger waistline. Not only does alcohol pack a punch in terms of calories (with some drinks containing as much as a slice of pizza), but it also inhibits the body’s ability to properly burn fat. However, that doesn’t necessarily mean you have to cut out alcohol entirely to stay slim. Moderation is key here, and opting for lower calorie options like wine or light beer can help keep you on track. It’s all about finding a balance – enjoying a few drinks with friends while still maintaining a healthy lifestyle.

That’s why it’s so vital to monitor your alcohol intake if you’re serious about your fitness goals — and to make sure that you’re doing everything you can to keep your cortisol levels in check. With a little bit of effort and care, you can ensure that your body is functioning at its very best, and maximize your chances of reaching your training goals.

Finally, it’s important to remember that consistency is key when it comes to getting the results you want. That means not only making sure that you’re following a consistent training schedule but also taking care of yourself outside of the gym — and in particular, managing your alcohol consumption and cortisol levels. With the right amount of focus and commitment, you can ensure that your body is functioning optimally so that you can make the most of every training session. So don’t forget to take care of yourself — and keep reaching for those goals!

By following these tips, you’ll be able to maximize your progress and reach your fitness goals faster than ever before. With a little bit of perseverance and discipline, you can get the most out of your workouts — so don’t forget to take care of yourself, stay motivated, and make sure that you’re looking after those cortisol levels!

Special Olympics Triathlon Training Clinic

We had a great triathlon clinic this past weekend. We had an amazing turnout. Very proud of all the athletes. All of their hard work is paying off. Special thanks to the coaches and unified partners for their time and energy. We are so grateful for their help and support!

Amino Acids During Training

To maximize performance, it is essential to supplement amino acids throughout training. Amino acids provide the fuel your muscles need to work harder and longer while preventing muscle breakdown during intense exercise. Therefore, i encourage you to take some amino acids supplement for you that fits your individual needs. For more information on how to properly fuel your body, please visit don’t hesitate to contact me.
