Personal Training and Muscle Growth
“I have to say personal training is really rewarding in ways I never thought it would be.”
Managing Muscle Growth
If your workouts are making your legs bigger, this is most likely due to increasing muscle size. This will not go away and if you continue to exercise in the same way, your muscle will either stay the same or continue to grow.
Physical Activity Guidelines
As a general goal, aim for at least 30 minutes of moderate physical activity every day. If you want to lose weight, maintain weight loss or meet specific fitness goals, you may need to exercise more.
Exercise During Menstrual Periods
There’s no scientific reason you should skip out on your workouts during your period. In fact, there’s evidence that exercise can be helpful during this time.
Post-Workout Routine
Showering after exercise should be an important part of your post-workout routine. It not only gets you clean and protects you from breakouts, but also helps your heart rate and core temperature naturally decrease. Taking a lukewarm or cool shower works best.
Sleep and Recovery
Sleep right after a workout allows your body time to repair and grow muscle tissue. Exercising can make you feel tired immediately after, which could promote sleep.
Rest Days
Dr. Wickham says that two rest days in a row should be enough to reset the body back into a normal sleep schedule and cycle. If you’re still experiencing sleep disturbances during the second night, listen to your body and rest until your normal sleep schedule returns.
