Feeling tired, foggy, bloated, or weak in the gym usually has a cause. The trick is knowing how far back to look.
In this episode of the "Acting Like You Care About Your Body" series, Niki Sims and Andrew Jackson explain the short-, medium-, and long-term signals your body sends, and how to use them to make better decisions.
In this episode:
Within 24 hours: hydration, caffeine, salty meals, skipped meals, and one bad night of sleep
Why a salty meal on the scale doesn't mean "everything's ruined"
Eating carbs 60 to 90 minutes before training so you're ready to go
Creatine and the extra willingness to grind out a rep
48 to 72 hours: alcohol, high-volume training, and a high heart rate that may mean you're getting sick
How chronic sleep loss and frequent travel can pass for "just getting older"
Why consistency makes it easier to see what's working, and how long to stick with a nutrition plan (usually 2 to 4 weeks) before changing it
Andrew's rule: zoom out for perspective, zoom in for action
