On our life long quest to lose weight and look good we seem to overlook two vital factors. We all know the importance of exercise and diet but losing weight and increasing our fitness levels goes way beyond these initial factors.
Ever since we graced this planet our bodies have had a very interment relationship with the sun and moon. Our bodies work on a Circadian Cycle, a natural physiological cycle of about 24 hours. When we go to sleep it takes time for the stress hormone Cortisol to be released from our systems, it is only then that our bodies can start the repair process both physically and psychologically. If we don't get enough sleep then these repair cycles get shorter, hence our bodies stay stressed and we don't lose weight.
Aim to get to sleep between 10-10.30 and wake up approx 06.30 to get the most from your bodies.
I'm also very lucky to work with my clients on a daily basis outdoors. As soon as the sun comes out we all feel so much better. The sun powers every living thing on this planet including our bodies. During the winter months as soon as you see the sun get out of the office and let it grace your skin, you will instantly feel amazing.
Sleep well and enjoy the outdoors,
Lee Wigginton
