Huberman Lab Podcast Notes Key Takeaways Don't underestimate recovery – it's where the real progress and results emergeDelayed onset muscle soreness (sets in 24-48 hours after exercise) cascade: the swelling response triggers the neural response which then triggers the pain responseYou need a high peak for adaptation to occur but also need an extremely sharp recovery for change to take placeYou don't need to combine every single recovery strategy, here are tools to choose from: cold plunge, massage, breathwork, slow-paced music after exercise Recover tools everyone should use: light movement, sleepAvoid taking cortisol-reducing supplements prophylactically without knowing your cortisol is high – cortisol regulation needs to be very strategic because you want natural fluctuations throughout the day and with exercise The key is understanding how quickly you return to the baselineHeart rate variability (HRV) is a better marker of recovery than resting heart rate but only compare to yourself and not others – measure under the same circumstances every day (ideally in the morning), and take consistently for a month to understand trends before you use as recovery indicator or worry about changes Don't stress about daily changes, track percent derivation from normIf you workout but never feel sore or need outside stimulus to get going, you're selling yourself short – you want to get good at recovery so you build resilience and the damage lessensDon't compare your numbers to others or panic at every change in metric you see: go based on what is normal for you and what normal variations for you and your situation are – make changes when you deviate 4-6 days or more Changes might be to stress management, nutrition, hydration, sleep, and training volume, or you may need to reassess the programRead the full notes @ podcastnotes.orgIn this episode 5 of a 6-part special series on fitness, exercise and performance with Andy Galpin, PhD, professor of kinesiology at California State University, Fullerton, he explains how to optimize post-training recovery and how to avoid overtraining in order to better achieve your fitness and exercise goals. He explains the cellular mechanisms of muscle soreness and pain, why adequate recovery is essential for all physical adaptations, and how to enhance recovery using breathwork, thermal, movement, and pressure-based techniques. He describes how overtraining impedes exercise progress and how to assess if you are overreaching or overtraining, by using specific biomarkers and indicators. Like other performance metrics, recovery is a skill that can and should be trained, and that can be learned. This episode provides an actionable toolkit for how to monitor and improve your exercise recovery abilities, which will improve your overall mental and physical health.

Advice on how to achieve your fitness goals in 2018 with grindmodefitness.

Zak Gabor is one of the awesome PTs we have in our network over at Achieve Fitness. We love working together with PTs to find the right quality of care to help our mutual clients! I thought he would be a really great person to come on and talk about the misconceptions people have about why they are in pain. Zak believes in educating his clients without making them feel undermined and especially without making them feel broken! To follow Zak you can check out his Instagram Page at simplestrengthphysio or check his out at Boston PT and wellness.http://bostonptwellness.com

It is such a pleasure to coach dozens of women and see them grow and change throughout this journey that I thought it was really important to have on some of these strong mamas! Maureen Fisher, Laurel Mathiesen, Lisa Philpotts, and Grace Ferris are all moms and moms to be here at Achieve Fitness and I knew they would have no problem opening up and telling me allllllll the details! We talk about how their concept of what "being fit" meant to them before, during and after pregnancy, how this experience has played into their idea of their identity, how strength training has helped them not only physically through the process but mentally, the challenges they have faced adjusting to this new chapter in their lives and how they have built a community that has brought them so much support!

Guhan Krishnan is a member at Achieve Fitness and a friend of mine. Guhan has become an inspiration to so many of us around him for working through his physical limitations and injuries with a glowing smile on his face. He used to describe to everyone that the way in which he received these injuries was an accident. In actuality, they were from a suicide attempt. In our podcast he walks me through his thoughts and feeling from before during and after the event. We speak on the importance of speaking our about depression, mental health and suicide. These conversations and not easy but the more we speak about them, the more we can be empathetic to one another and find more answers. To hear more about Guhan’s story, check out the interview Achieve posts with him awhile back. I promise you will leave feeling like you can conquer the world! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TSiqIHY3mjs Thank you Guhan for your openness and honesty.

Lauren is on a mission to bring inclusivity and empathy to the forefront of fitness and health. She co-owns and operates Achieve Fitness in Boston with her husband, Jason, where they work daily to fulfill that mission. Lauren has been a personal trainer and strength coach for over 10 years, and she draws on her own past battle with body dysmorphic disorder to relate to and help others who may be going through similar struggles. When Lauren's not at the gym, she can be found spending time with her dog, Diesel, playing football, or relaxing on the beach in Cape Cod.   Lauren wrote an article on her experience with Body Dysmorphic Disorder a few months ago and I was just blown away by her honesty and openness with her experience.  I would venture to guess that most women have had body image struggles at one time or another.  In Lauren’s experience, her struggles became pervasive and paralyzing.     I found myself able to relate to Lauren’s story in many ways.  If you’ve ever struggled with body image, eating disorders and/or disordered eating, I think you’ll be inspired by Lauren’s journey.     Listen in to hear Lauren share:   What daily life is like with BDD  How she was paralyzed by BDD and her weight even though she was never actually overweight Why it is so hard for people with BDD and body image struggles to talk openly about it How sharing her story was a crucial part of her healing Her recommendations to other women who are struggling (…and why she doesn’t give advice)  How she wants to revolutionize the gym experience for women and marginalized populations     Links Mentioned:  Achieve Fitness website: www.achievefitnessboston.com Personal website: www.lauren_pak.com Facebook (business): www.facebook.com/achievefitnessboston Facebook (personal): www.facebook.com/laurenp22 Instagram (business): www.instagram.com/achievefitnessboston Instagram (personal): www.instagram.com/laurenpak22 Lauren’s blog post: My Experience with Body Dysmorphic Disorder and Depression Book: Grit: The Power of Passion and Perseverance by Angela Duckworth Book: The Broken Mirror: Understanding and Treating Body Dysmorphic Disorder by Katharine A.

In this episode I sit down with 3 of our Achievers (clients of Achieve Fitness) and get an inside look to what keep sour clients motivated, what inspires them and how the community has played an important role in their journey.

The accountability factor is one of the primary reasons I succeeded in accomplishing my fitness goals. Yes, focus, effort, and determination were contributing factors, but if it weren't for others making me accountable and my feeling accountable to others, I doubt I would have been able to do the things I've done. In Episode 85 of The Become a Beast Podcast, I share how my friends supported me and kept me on a successful path. Those times I wanted to skips workouts, being accountable was what got me to get my tail in the gym. If you want to succeed at a fitness goal, making yourself accountable to another person will probably be the leading factor to your success. Yes, you can achieve as much as you set out to without accountability factors in place, but I'd bet a lot more on the person who is accountable to others than someone who isn't.
