Optimise Your Training: Master Your Chronotype
Ever wondered why you're full of energy at dawn while others hit their stride at dusk? This phenomenon is rooted in chronobiology, particularly in the study of chronotypes.
Dr. Michael Breus is a clinical psychologist and sleep expert who has extensively researched the impact of chronotypes on various aspects of daily life, including fitness, hormone regulation and performance optimisation.
Identifying whether you're a Lion, Bear, Wolf, or Dolphin can make a significant difference in how you approach your fitness routine and your work life.
Each chronotype has its own unique patterns of peak productivity, creativity, and alertness. Tailoring daily activities to these rhythms, individuals can live healthier and more accomplished lives.
Biohack Your Workout Schedule
Tailored Exercise Timing:
Schedule your workouts according to your chronotype for maximum efficacy. Lions could tackle high-intensity interval training early in their day when their energy levels peak. On the other hand, Wolves might find late-night strength training sessions more beneficial.
Optimal Vitamin D Synthesis:
Apps like Dminder track the best times for sun exposure and Vitamin D synthesis. Vitamin D plays a crucial role in muscle function and recovery, making it essential for overall fitness and well-being. Even a short break for outdoor exercise can provide a natural boost of Vitamin D.
Enhanced Recovery Strategies:
· Ice Baths: Ideal for Bears (morning) and Lions (afternoon), post-workout to reduce inflammation and speed up muscle recovery.
· Sauna Sessions: Wolves and Dolphins can benefit from evening sauna sessions to relax muscles, improve sleep quality, and promote overall recovery. The heat from the sauna helps relax tense muscles, aids in detoxification, and supports stress management.
By Embracing the power of biohacking and honouring your body's natural rhythms, your workouts will become more effective, efficient, and enjoyable.
