CDC Sleep Recommendations

Watson et al (2015) Recommended Amount of Sleep for a Healthy Adult: A Joint Consensus Statement of the American Academy of Sleep Medicine and Sleep Research Society

Adults should sleep 7 or more hours per night on a regular basis to promote optimal health:

  • Sleeping less than 7 hours per night on a regular basis is associated with adverse health outcomes, including weight gain and obesity, diabetes, hypertension, heart disease and stroke, depression, and increased risk of death. Sleeping less than 7 hours per night is also associated with impaired immune function, increased pain, impaired performance, increased errors, and greater risk of accidents.
  • Sleeping more than 9 hours per night on a regular basis may be appropriate for young adults, individuals recovering from sleep debt, and individuals with illnesses. For others, it is uncertain whether sleeping more than 9 hours per night is associated with health risk.
  • People concerned they are sleeping too little or too much should consult their healthcare provider.

Ep 35 | 5 Steps to Fix Your Broken Fitness Routine | BehaviorFit Radio

Ep 35 | 5 Steps to Fix Your Broken Fitness Routine | BehaviorFit Radio

When I work with clients, I use a process called "shaping" to establish new fitness routines or repair old ones. Shaping requires my clients/athletes to GRADUALLY work towards an "ideal" or targeted fitness routine that he or she can maintain over the long haul.

I document this process with extensive data collection, feedback, and regular coaching meetings to build any fitness routine.

Ep 29 | Master Decision-Making: Master Your Fitness

Ep 29 | Master Decision-Making: Master Your Fitness

In this podcast, I review why decision-making is a key ingredient to any training session.

.....

Should always ask these questions:

- Is exercise and fitness a lifestyle change or just a phase?

- Am I sticking to a long- or short-term plan?

- If I see data related to my performance, am I willing to change my behavior?

.....

 There are elements to consider:

1. Every level of analysis can look at any fitness decision

2. Every fitness decision is influenced by its own set of environmental variables

3. We need to assess how satisfied we are with every single fitness decision

Ep 28 | Physics Anyone? Measuring Workout Intensity

Ep 28 | Physics Anyone? Measuring Workout Intensity

Because INTENSITY is the key to certain workouts, we need to pay attention to it!

…..

In this video, I review how we can easily measure the output of any workout.

….

When we measure the intensity of our workouts, then we can make better fitness decisions. 

…..

Do we need to change movements? Lower the weight? Increase the weight?

…..

[Technical note: I did not fill in the correct reps and weight for the power clean during the last example]

Ep 26 | People are NOT Vain, Unmotivated, or Lazy | BehaviorFit Radio

Ep 26 | People are NOT Vain, Unmotivated, or Lazy | BehaviorFit Radio

Labels only take us so far when it comes to understanding our fitness behavior or lack thereof

….

The patterns of our fitness behaviors, or lack of meaningful environmental outcomes teach us more about our health and fitness.

…..

People learn how to behave and get fit, there is nothing inherent in learning how to workout.

…..

Sorry folks. No will power here. Change your fitness environment, change your fitness behavior

Ep 24 | 3 Ways To Break Down Your Lifting Data

Ep 24 | 3 Ways To Break Down Your Lifting Data

New @BehaviorFit PODCAST

-----

3 Ways To Break Down Your Lifting Data

-----

The 🔑 is to move from general data to specific data.

---

The more specific your data the better you can figure out where you need to improve the most.

---

I cover these three questions:

1️⃣Did I even lift?

2️⃣What was I supposed to lift?

3️⃣What did a really lift?

.

These three questions are important because they allow us to track compliance, behavior and deliver specific feedback on our performance.
